The Cohiba Talisman was released in 2017 as a limited-edition cigar, with only 5,000 boxes of 10 cigars produced to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Cohiba brand. It was globally launched on November 8th, 2017, in London, UK, and was a tremendous success, leading to its continued production until 2019. As a result, it is possible to come across both 2017 and 2019 box codes. The cigar was named the Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado magazine in 2017, further increasing its popularity among cigar enthusiasts who praised its complex flavor profile and impressive construction. Today, the Cohiba Talisman is considered the most appreciated Cuban cigar by many Cohiba aficionados. Wrapped in a dark, oily leaf with a flawless construction, this Cohiba Talisman offers a full-bodied, luxurious smoking experience. The flavor profile unfolds in waves of toasted oak, rich cocoa, sweet molasses, and earthy spices, accompanied by notes of leather, dried fruits, and espresso. With perfect draw and even burn, the Talisman delivers a bold and smooth journey from start to finish — a must-have for collectors and aficionados alike. In Hong Kong, the Cohiba Talisman Vintage 2019 has become one of the most desired cigars among seasoned smokers looking for aged Cuban rarity, premium craftsmanship, and long-format indulgence. It belongs to the same elite league as legends like Partagas, Hoyo de Monterrey, Romeo y Julieta, and H. Upmann, all available at Migratory Story, your trusted destination for authentic Cuban cigars in Hong Kong. For the perfect pairing, we recommend enjoying the Cohiba Talisman with an aged single cask rum, such as Diplomático Ambassador or Appleton Estate 21-Year-Old. The rich sweetness, spice, and complexity of the rum harmonize beautifully with the Talisman’s layered flavor profile, enhancing every puff with warmth and depth. For a smoky contrast, pair it with an Islay whisky like Ardbeg Uigeadail.
