The Cohiba Espléndidos is a long, elegant Churchill that exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the El Laguito factory. Draped in a flawless Colorado Maduro wrapper with a firm body and perfect fill, it offers visual appeal that matches its reputation.
The cold draw introduces notes of wood, dry leaves, and a touch of black pepper, setting the stage for a classic, balanced experience. The first third opens generously with fine, dry wood, layered with black and red pepper and a subtle hint of dried fruits and citrus zest. The draw remains smooth and the strength well-pitched.
In the second third, power builds slightly, ushering in earthy tones of fallen leaves and fragrant cedar. The construction is impeccable, allowing a steady burn and an elegant, harmonious progression of flavors.
As the cigar enters its final third, comfort and roundness persist. Delicate floral notes emerge, enhancing the close with nuance and finesse. The strength stays moderate throughout, making the experience smooth and approachable.
A restrained yet distinguished cigar, the Cohiba Espléndidos delivers a polished, aromatic journey—ideal for those who seek refinement without overpowering intensity.
