Crafted exclusively for discerning collectors, the Cohiba Guayasamin II Humidor is a distinguished commemorative release from Cuba's most prestigious cigar brand. Unveiled in 2007, this limited edition collection marks the tenth anniversary of the inaugural humidor produced by the Guayasamin Foundation, an organization dedicated to celebrating artistic and cultural heritage through exceptional cigar craftsmanship.
This exclusive release was strictly limited to just 50 individually numbered humidors, each containing a carefully curated selection of 90 premium handcrafted cigars. The collection showcases six different vitolas, with fifteen cigars of each format presented in an elegant presentation designed to honor both the Cohiba legacy and the artistic vision of Oswaldo Guayasamin, the renowned Ecuadorian painter and sculptor whose name graces this special edition.
Cigars Included in the Collection
The Guayasamin II Humidor brings together an impressive array of formats, blending established production sizes with one exclusive special release vitola. Each cigar bears the standard Cohiba band D and represents the pinnacle of Cuban tobacco artistry.
