Habanos S.A.

Over the history of the La Gloria Cubana brand, the Glorias name has been used for at least three different cigars. In this case, it was for an Edición Regional released for Germany in late 2016.

The Montecristo L’Esprit humidors were created to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the French humidor and accessories maker S.T. Dupont. Each of the designs—which include Le Crépuscule, La Nuit and L’Aurore—are named after three different stages of night though the cigars inside are the same.

Imagine a Cohiba version of the Trinidad Esmeralda. Okay, now imagine it with an unnecessary foot band.

Despite Habanos S.A. not being in InterTabac exhibitor, the Cuban cigar monopoly is still the talk of the town. All of that might seem a bit strange, especially as non-Cuban cigars are no longer competing for Cuban cigars.

Some thoughts on Habanos S.A. not exhibiting, the new marijuana-focused show, and drama in the world of German cigar distributors. As always, Heja BVB.

The Destinos is a new 5 7/10 (145mm) x 49 marketed as a travel and duty-free exclusive sold in travel humidors. In Andorra, it is priced at €44.75 ($49.50).

That would be $600 per cigar.

As the world turns its eyes to Paris for the Olympics, a new, limited-production cigar celebrates the Games. The cigars come dressed with a foot band and bound with a ribbon, two things not commonly found on Edición Regional releases.

The Saint Luis Rey La Cuna measures 6 7/10 x 43. It’s priced at less than $25 per cigar and limited to 100,000 total cigars.

On its debut in the U.K., the new Cablidos is priced at €159 ($201) per cigar. As part of the launch with Hunters & Frankau, there are special five-count “PREMIER” edition boxes.

The latest version, an exclusive for La Casa del Habano stores, is a bit thicker than its predecessor.
