Launched in 2017 as a Limited Edition, the Cohiba Talisman EL 2007 provides a surprisingly mellow and strong-bodied draw, complementing a youthfully exuberant citrus punch. It’s very affordable and a favorite of new cigar smokers.
Cohiba Talisman EL 2017 Overview
At just over 6 inches, the Cohiba Talisman EL 2017 is a vitola cigar with a 54 ring gauge. First impressions are of the veined, dark-brown, hand-bound wrapper. You can taste that this is a young cigar, not yet evolved to its full flavor profile.
However, as with all cigars produced in the iconic El Laguito factory, this vitola provides a satisfyingly mellow draw. It’s ideal for a languid smoke on a lazy day, or as an upgrade if you are switching to Cubans after smoking cigars from other countries.
Smoking a Cohiba Talisman EL 2017
The taste of cedar is strong in the draw. As with many Cohiba models, the tobacco is fermented for extra time in specially-designated cedar-wood barrels.
The first half of the Cohiba Talisman EL 2017 unfolds with a mixture of sweet and savory, a honey topping to an earthy, nutty base. Continuing into the second half of the cigar you begin to taste the dark bitterness of chocolate, mixed with English oak.
Coming in a box of ten, the cigar has a swirling, brown wrapping, which helps to give it a timeless feel. A box of ten at this price is usually a winner for newcomers to Cuban cigars.
Cigar Value
Although aged for at least two years before being sold, this cigar is younger than almost all other Cohibas. We recommend purchasing it at a young age and it is smokable now. It is also lovely to experience how these cigars mature over time. With proper storage in a humidor they only gain in value over time.
Cohiba Talisman EL 2017 Experience
This cigar is both younger and more affordable than many of the other Cohibas, yet has a character and mellowness that can surprise experienced cigar smokers. However, it’s predominantly a great choice of cigar for new cigar smokers and anyone preferring a light, mellow smoke.
