高希霸 Esplendidos Gran Reserva Cosecha 2017

The Cohiba Espléndidos Gran Reserva Cosecha 2017 is like the regular Espléndidos, a 7-inch (178mm) x 47 parejo known as the Julieta No. 2, i.e. Cuba’s classic Churchill size. Unlike the regular production Espléndidos, the Gran Reserva is a limited edition that uses tobaccos entirely from the 2017 harvest, meaning it was aged for five years before the cigars were rolled.

To delineate between this special release and the regular release, these Espléndidos will wear a secondary band that has a G and R in gold font. Like other Gran Reserva releases, it will be limited to 5,000 numbered boxes of 15 cigars. Typically, these boxes are high-gloss lacquer, another change from the regular production version.
