At the upcoming Tax Free World Association World Exhibition & Conference, Habanos S.A. is showing off a new exclusive product for the travel and duty free markets, the Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Belicoso.

The new cigar measures 4 11/12 (125 mm) with a 52 ring gauge and comes in a 15-count humidor. It’s a new size for the brand and one that has only been used in a handful of limited editions: the Bolivar Petit Belicosos Edición Limitada 2009, the Vegas Robaina Petit Unicos Edición Regional Suiza 2012, the Ramón Allones Petit Belicoso Edición Regional Gran Bretaña 2012, and the Quai d’Orsay Belicoso Royal Edición Regional Francia 2013.

A formal release date for the cigars has not yet been announced, and with price varying by region, no estimated price for the humidor has been announced.

The Duty Free and Travel Retail Global Summit runs from Oct. 1 – 6 in Cannes, France.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for MLB.com, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
