Rows in grey were last read more than 60 days ago: they are history, not quotes, and never count as the cheapest. Listed price for the box of 25 in the retailer's own currency, their own tax included. A box crossing a border picks up destination duty and VAT on top — the "duty paid EU" mark shows the few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market.

The piece
Castro's gift to heads of state. The Cuban Churchill that built the Cohiba mythology.
If one cigar built the Cohiba mythology it's the Espléndidos. The 7-inch Julieta No. 2 (Habanos's name for the Churchill format) is what Fidel Castro reportedly handed to foreign heads of state in the 1980s, and it remains the line's most photographed vitola. The Espléndidos was originally a diplomat-only release; it joined the commercial catalogue in 1989 alongside the Robustos and Exquisitos, and the trio became the Línea Clásica that anchors Cohiba to this day.
The smoke is built for a long evening — 90 to 120 minutes if you draw slowly. The first third is gentle, with hay, butter, and toasted bread; the middle blooms into espresso, cocoa, and a hint of pepper; the last third earns the legend with a leather-and-cedar finish that holds without burning hot. The Espléndidos sits at the top of the standard Cohiba pricing pyramid: a box of 25 lists at roughly £2,950 in the UK and CHF 3,300 at Swiss reference LCDH stores. Price stability is high across European retailers — this is the SKU where spread is tightest because demand routinely exceeds supply.

Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?
Only if you live where the retailer is. Every price on this page is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) in the retailer's home country and nowhere else. Buy from a German retailer to a German address and what you see is what you pay. Buy across a border — a Swiss retailer shipping into the EU, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland or Ireland — and the destination country charges its own tobacco excise and VAT on arrival. How much depends on the destination's excise rate; our import-duty guide walks through the main markets.
The few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market carry a "duty paid EU" mark in the table.
How does Cohiba Espléndidos compare to other Cohiba cigars?
Cohiba Espléndidos is a Julieta No.2, ring 47, 178 mm, medium strength, sold in a box of 25. The other Cohiba vitolas on the board, each with its own price page, are Cohiba Robustos, Cohiba Behike 52, Cohiba Siglo IV, Cohiba Siglo VI. Per-cigar price is the fair way to compare them: box sizes differ.
Is the price for Cohiba Espléndidos likely to drop?
Habanos S.A. (the Cuban state tobacco monopoly) sets the worldwide release-price floor for every Habano in this catalogue. That floor went up roughly 40% during the 2022–2024 global price harmonisation, and Habanos has signalled further annual increases through 2027. So the long-term trend is up, not down.
Short-term, prices move at the retailer level — promotions, clearance, a restock at a different price. Where we have a history, the 90-day line on this page shows what the cheapest box in Europe has actually done. A price alert with no target emails you on any drop; setting a target limits it to your budget.
