Review: Ramón Allones Selección Suprema (ER Italia 2005)

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 [...]

Review: La Gloria Cubana Inmensos (LCDH 2010)

Today we will be taking a look at a special LCDH only release, the 2010 La Gloria Cubana Inmensos. Just about every year Habanos releases one or two LCDH exclusive cigars. In 2009 it was the H.Upmann Noellas Ceramic Jar and this year (2011) H.Upmann will again have a LCDH release called the Royal Robusto [...]

Review: Fonseca No.4 (ER Benelux 2010)

All [...]

Review: Partagas Serie D No.1 (EL 2004)

Today we are smoking a very special cigar by my absolute favorite Cuban cigar brand. A lot of Edición Limitadas have gotten a bad rap simply because they don’t usually warrant the price tag. A lot of people, myself included, would consider them to be bit of marketing genius on Habanos’ part by making you believe [...]

Review: H. Upmann Coronas Major

Today we will be taking a look at the H. Upmann Coronas Major. This Specific vitola is actually called “Eminentes” but is basically a standard sized corona. These cigars were introduced well before the 1960’s but up until 2002 were completely machine made cigars. These cigars are sold in tubo packaging only and underwent a [...]

Review: Vegas Robaina Marshal (ER Adriatico 2008)

For those of you that don’t know, the story of the Vegas Robaina Marshal, which is the Regional Edition Release for the Adriatic Region in 2008, is one of the most interesting, and honestly, confusing, to come out of Cuba in a long, long time. It might get a bit confusing, so stick with me. [...]

Review: Ramón Allones Lusitanos (ER Portugal 2010)

The second Ramón Allones release this year in the Regional Edición series is the Petit Edmundo sized Lusitanos for the Portugal Region.  If you know me, you know that I have been nothing but [...]
