Cohiba Talisman Becoming Regular-Production Cigar
The Cohiba Talismán, a popular limited-edition smoke released twice by the Cuban cigar industry, won’t be limited any longer. The cigar is being added to the brand’s regular portfolio as part of the 60th anniversary celebration of the Cohiba brand.
The Talismán is a pigtailed smoke measuring 6 1/8 inches long by 54 ring gauge. It debuted in November 2017 as an Edición Limitada, and at the time it was considerably expensive, £65 ($87) for a single cigar. It rated 91 points in a Cigar Aficionado blind taste test.
The cigar was a popular one, so popular that Habanos S.A. brought it back two years later, still as an Edición Limitada.
Talismán is returning once again, but this time as a regular-production smoke. It will appear at a party in London on October 7, celebrating 60 years of the Cohiba brand. There’s no word on pricing yet, but given the increased prices on Cohibas, it’s almost a certainty that the cigar will cost more than $100 for a single smoke.
The London party, announced on the same day that Habanos officially canceled the Habanos Festival, is one of several 60th anniversary celebrations that are expected to honor Cohiba this year.
