Cohiba 55 Aniversario Limited Edition 2021

The Cohiba 55 Aniversario Limited Edition 2021 is an exceptional commemorative Cuban cigar created to celebrate the 55th anniversary of Cohiba, one of the most prestigious names in the world of premium cigars.

Presented in an elegant wooden box of 10 cigars, the 55 Aniversario introduced an entirely new format to the Cohiba portfolio. Its imposing Victoria vitola measures 5 7/8" with a substantial 57 ring gauge and is finished with an elegant pigtail.

The cigar was created using carefully selected wrapper, binder and filler leaves grown by leading tobacco producers in Cuba's celebrated Vuelta Abajo region of Pinar del Río. As a Cohiba, selected seco and ligero filler leaves also undergo the brand's distinctive additional fermentation process in barrels, contributing to the characteristic aroma and complexity for which Cohiba is renowned.

Although officially designated the Edición Limitada 2021, the Cohiba 55 Aniversario made its worldwide debut in 2022, becoming one of the most significant and eagerly anticipated Cohiba releases of the decade.

Flavour Profile

The Cohiba 55 Aniversario delivers the depth expected from a substantial Limited Edition Cohiba while maintaining remarkable refinement.

The profile develops around rich cedar and fine wood, accompanied by roasted coffee, cocoa and leather. Creamier characteristics and natural tobacco sweetness provide balance, while measured pepper and spice contribute additional complexity without overwhelming the blend.

As the cigar develops, its generous 57 ring gauge allows the different components of the blend to become increasingly expressive. Coffee and cocoa deepen alongside earthy and woody characteristics, with the cigar maintaining the polished character associated with carefully aged Cohiba tobacco.

The result is a sophisticated medium-to-full-bodied Cuban cigar with considerable depth and enough complexity to reward an unhurried smoking experience.

Ideal for Collectors and Discerning Aficionados

The Cohiba 55 Aniversario Limited Edition 2021 occupies an unusual position as both an exceptional smoking experience and an important modern collectable from Cohiba.

Its significance comes from several elements: its association with Cohiba's 55th anniversary, its Limited Edition status, the debut of the Victoria vitola within Cohiba, its distinctive anniversary presentation and the relatively small 10-cigar box format.

At £6,000 per box of 10, this presentation is intended primarily for serious collectors and experienced aficionados seeking significant releases from the modern history of Habanos.

For those choosing to smoke rather than preserve the cigars, the considerable period of maturation since production provides an opportunity to experience the development of an already highly regarded Cohiba Limited Edition.

About Cohiba

Created in 1966, Cohiba occupies a unique position within the Habanos portfolio.

Initially produced in limited quantities for government use and diplomatic gifts, Cohiba became commercially available in 1982 and subsequently developed into Cuba's most internationally recognised premium cigar marque.

Its cigars use carefully selected tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region of Pinar del Río, one of Cuba's most celebrated tobacco-growing areas. Cohiba is also distinguished by the additional fermentation given to selected seco and ligero filler leaves, a process intended to develop the tobacco's distinctive aroma and flavour.

Throughout its history, Cohiba has marked significant anniversaries with some of the most collectable releases in the Habanos portfolio. Habanos itself identifies releases including the Cohiba Sublimes Edición Limitada 2004, Cohiba 1966 Edición Limitada 2016, Cohiba Talisman Edición Limitada 2017 and Cohiba 55 Aniversario Edición Limitada 2021 among the brand's notable Limited Editions.

The Cohiba 55 Aniversario represents an important chapter in that history, combining a completely new Cohiba vitola with commemorative presentation and carefully selected Cuban tobacco to celebrate 55 years of the marque.
