San Cristóbal de la Habana La Cabaña Edición Regional Arrives in Cuba (Update)

There’s a new Edición Regional arriving in Cuba, the San Cristóbal de la Habana La Cabaña.

The cigar measures 6 1/10 inches long (155 mm) with a 50 ring gauge, a robusto extra vitola known as the Dobles or Dobles (T) that is shared with the Montecristo Double Edmundo and a number of other Edición Regional releases. It comes priced at 139 CUC for a 10-count box, which works out to about $160 when factoring in fees to exchange money on the island.

It becomes the sixth Edición Regional release for the island:

The San Cristóbal de la Habana line has been the recipient of a number of new and limited editions recently, including the San Cristóbal de la Habana Prado, a 5 x 50 petit piramídes for La Casa del Habano and Habanos Specialist retailers; the 20 Aniversario, a 6 3/8 x 52 double robusto that celebrates the 20th anniversary of the brand and will be available just at LCDHs; and the San Cristóbal de La Habana 1519, a 6 3/4 x 57 double robusto that celebrates the 500th anniversary of the founding of the city of Havana. However, those cigars have only been announced, not released.

Update (Nov. 22, 2019): Habanos S.A. confirmed the release of the cigars today and provided images and pricing. Reports from the island are that limited numbers of boxes are being made available each day, but are finally hitting store shelves. This story was originally published on Nov. 15.

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 Major League Baseball, 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.
