Cohiba Talismán Becomes a Permanent Cigar as Habanos Opens Cohiba’s Anniversary Year in London

Behike bhk 52

Habanos S.A. presented the new Cohiba Talismán in London at an event with around 400 guests, held together with Hunters & Frankau, the UK distributor of Cuban cigars. The cigar also debuted in London, in 2017, as an Edición Limitada, and its success led to a limited reissue two years later.

The news is that Talismán now becomes a permanent part of the Cohiba Línea Clásica, without the limited-edition band. The format remains Sublimes No. 1, 6 1/8 inches with a 54 ring gauge, finished with a pigtail cap. Unlike the limited editions, which used darker wrappers from the upper part of the plant, the new version follows the profile of the rest of the classic line.

At first the cigar is sold in the UK in packs of three, priced at £600, and will later reach other markets in boxes of 10. The launch opens the “Year of Cohiba”, marking the brand’s 60th anniversary, and Habanos promises more to come.
