Por Larrañaga Leones Edición Regional Heads to Spain

This week, a new Edición Regional cigar is expected to arrive at stores in Spain.

It’s the Por Larrañaga Leones, a 6 1/10 (155m) x 42 lonsdale vitola, formally known as the coronas grandes. Pricing is set at €18 per cigar ($19.03). There will be 50,000 numbered boxes of 10 cigars, making it one of the largest Edición Regional releases to date.

The Edición Regional program is offered by Habanos S.A. to its various distributors around the world. Each year, distributors can select one cigar to be commissioned for their region, though there have been exceptions when some distributors have been able to select more than one. Those cigars must come from a brand that was not part of the company’s former “Global Brands” and must be a size that is currently not offered in that specific brand.

Edición Regional cigars are signified by a secondary red and silver band that reads Edición Regional, followed typically by the name of the region represented by that specific distributor. Oftentimes, the cigars do not arrive at stores during the year they are selected for, sometimes multiple years later.

In this case, the Leones is technically part of the 2021 class of Edición Regional cigars.

Tabacalera S.L.U., the Spanish distributor of Cuban cigars, says this is the third time it has used the Por Larrañaga brand for an Edición Regional release. The other two were the Por Larrañaga Legendarios and Por Larrañaga Secretos.
