H. Upmann Magnum Finite, Ramón Allones Absolutos & Trinidad Cablidos Formally Announced as 2024 Edición Limitada Cigars

Habanos S.A. has announced its three new Edición Limitada cigars for 2024. For some, these names will be familiar.

The three cigars are:

• H. Upmann Magnum Finite — 5 1/8 (130mm) x 53 (Singulares)
• Ramón Allones Absolutos — 6 3/8 (162mm) x 47 (Cazadores Especiales)
• Trinidad Cablidos —  6 1/8 (156mm) x 49 (Nuevos)

The H. Upmann and Trinidad are using new vitolas, shapes that have not been used for other Cuban cigars. The Ramón Allones Absolutos uses the same vitola as the Montecristo Herederos.

Notably, halfwheel reported last year that these cigars were originally selected to be the 2022 Edición Limitada cigars and that Cuban cigar distributors were informed they would instead be 2023 Edición Limitada releases. Up until today, Habanos S.A. never publicly said anything about the cigars, which are now going to be part of the 2024 class of Edición Limitada cigars.

The Trinidad will be offered in boxes of 12, the Ramón Allones will come in boxes of 20 and the H. Upmann will be sold in boxes of 25 cigars. Historically, Habanos S.A. does not disclose production numbers for the Edición Limitada.

For most of the last two decades, Habanos S.A. has announced three new Edición Limitada releases each year. Officially, there were no Edición Limitada cigars for 2022 and 2023, but the final 2021 Edición Limitada cigar just went on sale for the first time earlier this month.

Edición Limitada cigars are each a new size for a particular brand, not necessarily a new Cuban cigar size, but one that hasn’t been sold as part of that particular brand before. As the name would imply, the cigars are offered in limited quantities, though rarely ever disclosed production numbers.

In addition to being a unique size, Edición Limitada cigars use tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region of Pinar del Rió, which is then aged for a minimum of two years. They carry a secondary band that reads “Edición Limitada” and then the year they were announced.

Habanos S.A. announced this cigar as part of the annual Festival del Habano XXIV, which is taking place in Havana, Cuba, this week. Historically, the company uses the event as a time to announce its upcoming releases, some of which may not ship to stores until after this year. Pricing and release date have not been announced.

Update (Feb. 27, 2024) — Hunters & Frankau, the U.K.’s distributor of Cuban cigars, announced that it will host Habanos World Day 2024 from June 20-22 in London. The Trinidad Cablidos will debut during an event on June 22.
