At last night’s annual Hunters & Frankau Summer Party, the U.K.’s distributor of Cuban cigars showed off the latest Edición Regional for the region.

This year’s release comes from Juan López, a 150mm (5 11/12) x 54 size known as Selección Superba. The cigar will be released in boxes of 10, limited to 6,000 numbered boxes. Juan Lopez Seleccion Superba (ER UK 2016)

It’s the second time Juan López has been selected as the Edición Regional for the U.K. following the Selección Suprema, which was released in 2009.

Hunters & Frankau says the cigar is being produced in San Antonio de los Baños, a city located about 15 miles southwest of Havana.
