In 2005, Habanos S.A. released a limited addition Ramón Allones Belicoso that was only available in the United Kingdom. This release was actually before the Edición Regional program was in effect, so while this release is essentially one of the first ERs, it is not officially labeled as one. In fact, there was almost no fanfare [...]

In 2005, Habanos S.A. introduced the Edición Regional releases creating specific sizes for various regions around the world. Most of these regions were entire countries: Canada, Germany, and Spain for example. However, there are a few regions made up of a group of smaller countries who all share the same distributor, like Benelux. Cubacigar is [...]

In 2011, Habanos S.A. released their normal trio of Edición Limitadas consisting of special cigars from Cohiba, Hoyo de Monterrey and Ramón Allones. The program, which was introduced in 2000, releases special vitolas of three different cigars that are not part of the portfolio for the respective brands. Since 2004, Habanos has limited the releases [...]

Editor’s Note: This one is pretty simple. There are some technical issues plaguing the site currently. We know of two somewhat major issues. First and foremost, commenting from a computer seems to not be working, although commenting from mobile devices seems to be working fine. We are trying to resolve this issue and think we [...]

September 23, 2011 — The Ediciones Limitadas- Limited Editions- of Habanos* are highly appreciated and awaited by the aficionados worldwide every year. They are characterized by vitolas that do not appear in the usual range of the brand portfolio, and which are distinguished by a careful selection of their leaves – wrapper, filler and binder- which have been aged for a period of at least 2 years. The dark wrapper dressing these Habanos coming from the top leaves of the Tapado – shade grown black Cuban tobacco plant- is another characteristic that identifies them.

A lot of people subscribe to the idea that you absolutely have to age Cuban cigars before you can smoke them, well in my honest opinion these current production Cubans offer a very enjoyable smoking experience and have a rough edge to them that I have come to enjoy lately. Perhaps it’s my love for [...]

For those of you that don’t know, in 2005, Habanos S.A. introduced the Edición Regional (Regional Edition) series to consumers around the world. I think CubanCigarWebsite.com says it best: The series comprises special limited production cigars made exclusively for a regional market, and are available for a one or two year period. After this, Habanos [...]

And cigar news… (Going to have to find a way to keep the intros interesting, which might be difficult.) This past week was dominated by the XIII Festival del Habano in Cuba and all of the events that make-up what is perhaps the most interesting cigar festival. Outside of Havana, there was still quite a [...]

Ethically, doing a recap on an event I didn’t attend is probably a mortal sin; however it’s Habanosfest. Actually, my decision for this post is solely to make the weekly news more readable (and a bit shorter) without compromising any of the important events from the world’s most famous cigar festival. Unlike some of the [...]
