Cohiba's celebrated 2017 Limited Edition — a thick, dark-wrappered Cuban with extra-aged leaves and a rich, full-bodied profile.
The short answer
The Cohiba Talismán Edición Limitada 2017 is a bold, full-bodied cigar — a Cuban sublimes no. 1 with a Cuban (Edición Limitada) wrapper. Expect cedar, cocoa, and coffee.
The verdict
The Cohiba Talismán Edición Limitada 2017 is a bold, full-bodied cigar from Cohiba's Edición Limitada line. It's a Cuban sublimes no. 1 wrapped in Cuban (Edición Limitada) at 6.1 in × 54.
On the palate, expect cedar, cocoa, and coffee, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 75 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with espresso, aged rum, and cognac. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
The Talismán was Cohiba's Edición Limitada for 2017 and one of the most successful Limited Editions Habanos has ever released. Like all Cuban Limited Editions, it uses leaves aged longer than usual, including a darker, more matured wrapper, which gives it a fuller, richer character than the standard line.
What it tastes like
This is a full-bodied Cuban with real depth. Expect cedar, cocoa, and coffee over a base of leather and earth, with a firm spice that runs through it. The extra-aged tobacco shows up as a rounded richness and a long, evolving smoke on the thick 54 ring gauge. It's bolder than a regular Cohiba but still carries the brand's polish.
Who it's for
A special-occasion cigar for aficionados — both because it's a limited release and because it's a genuinely impressive smoke. It deserves time and an unhurried setting, with an espresso, an aged rum, or a cognac. If you want to see how Cuba's bold side compares to Nicaragua's, read Cuban vs Nicaraguan.
