Product Description:
The Cohiba Talismán EL 2017 is one of the most acclaimed Edición Limitada releases of the modern era, hailed for its imposing vitola and rich, full-bodied complexity. Rolled in the rare Sublimes No. 1 format (54 ring gauge x 154mm), this cigar is handcrafted using specially aged tobaccos from Vuelta Abajo, selected exclusively for Cohiba’s elite production.
It was first introduced at the 2017 Festival del Habano and quickly became a modern classic. The Talismán was created to deliver intense depth and smooth maturity, thanks to the additional barrel fermentation process unique to Cohiba. Presented in an elegant Slide Lid Box (SLB) of 10, it’s now one of the most sought-after post-2010 Cohibas among collectors and connoisseurs.
If you're looking for a bold, luxurious, and age-worthy Cuban cigar, the Talismán is your ticket to greatness.
