Description

The Cohiba 55 Aniversario (2021 Limited Edition) measures precisely 5⅞ inches (five and seven-eighths inches) in length with a commanding 57 ring gauge, defining the majestic Victoria vitola to commemorate Cohiba’s 55th anniversary since 1966. Exclusively handcrafted at El Laguito factory from the finest Vuelta Abajo Valley tobaccos—extra-aged and barrel-fermented for unparalleled refinement—this puro masterpiece features a flawless, oily Colorado Maduro corojo wrapper over aged binder and ligero-rich filler, ensuring impeccable tripa larga construction and slow, mesmerising combustion over 50-60 minutes. Ignition reveals a seamless, cool draw yielding voluminous clouds of fragrant, creamy smoke. The inaugural third unfolds with elegant medium-to-full poise: polished cedar leads alongside velvety cocoa powder, supple leather, and refined espresso bean, accented by white pepper finesse. Mid-smoke builds sophisticated harmony—roasted hazelnuts, dried figs, subtle vanilla cream, and mineral salinity from volcanic terroir evolve fluidly. The finale crescendos with balsamic tobacco nectar, dark caramel elegance, and lingering retrohale sophistication without harshness. Habanos’ 2021 Edición Limitada pinnacle, housed in lacquered boxes of 10, earned Cigar Aficionado acclaim for transcendent balance. Ideal paired with aged cognac or ristretto, it epitomises Cohiba’s unassailable prestige.
