The Cigar

The 2023 UK Habanos Regional Edition La Flor de Cano Selectos No.3 will be available from UK La Casa del Habano shops and Havana Cigar Specialists from 7th February 2025.

The Selectos No.3 is the third UK Regional Edition from the brand, following the Short Robusto (2010) and the Gran Cano (2013). 125,000 Selectos No.3 cigars have been produced, each sporting a unique band printed with the size name. They ar presented in 5,000 cabinet boxes of 25 cigars (SLB’s).

Despite at one time being one of the most popular sizes, today only one Cervantes size remains in the Habanos standard portfolio; the Montecristo No.1.

The Selectos No.3 has a sweet floral beginning that includes a citrus freshness. As the cigar progresses this develops into a rich spiciness without ever losing its charm and tipping into bitterness.

The relatively long and slim vitola provides a perfect format for Flor de Cano’s elegant blend to evolve throughout the hour or so it takes to enjoy. It is a pleasure to smoke now but will no doubt age with the grace and refinement of its illustrious predecessors.

The cigar Diplomaticos El Emisario is the very first regional edition Switzerland from the Diplomaticos brand.
Known to aficionados and novices alike for its quallity and resemblance to Montecristo cigars, the Diplomaticos brand created 5 cigars between 1966 and 1976. Since 2010, only Diplomaticos No2 remains in the brand's catalog.

The cigar Diplomaticos El Emisario is rolled". Totalmente a Mano con Tripa Larga" with exceptional tobaccos from Cuba's Vuelta Abajo region, recognized as the world's best tobacco-growing area. 

Diplomaticos El Emisario is composed of a filler, a wrapper and a binder, all native to Cuba. This composition gives the cigar a distinctive flavor and aroma, with intensity and balance. Subtle notes of hazelnut and coffee give this cigar a certain sweetness. The draw is pleasant, and each puff gives off a thick smoke.

Diplomaticos El Emisario is a Grand Robusto module with a cabeza tombada head. It measures 141 mm in length and has a diameter of 19.84 mm (ring 50). Smoking time for this cigar is estimated at between 45 and 60 minutes, offering an intensely balanced tasting experience. 

This Swiss regional edition is limited to 15,000 numbered boxesThis makes it a true rarity that will appeal to collectors and aficionados alike.

Diplomaticos Grandes ER Alemania 2021 (Germany)

The Cigar

The Diplomáticos Grandes is a cigar made exclusively for the German market—Alemania is the Spanish name for Germany—and the 7 9/16 (192mm) x 40 vitola is known as a Laguito Especial, a size that is perhaps best known for being the same vitola as the legendary Trinidad Fundadores.

The H. Upmann Super Magnum Colección Habanos 2020 Book is the latest addition to the ultra successful book series known as Colección Habanos. That is, book humidors filled with a unique blend and shape of a cigar.

For this particular issue, Habanos chose a very popular marca: H. Upmann. The format, just like with most of Habanos books, is very impressive. Coming in at 56 ring-gauge by 180mm in length, this Cuban Cigar is set to become an instant sensation across collectors markets worldwide.

The H. Upmann Super Magnum comes packed in the traditional book humidor with 20 Super Magnum cigars inside.

Incredibly limited in quantities, these are not to be missed!

The H. Upmann Noellas Cigar was created for those devoted to the H.Upmann Cigars brand - who want to take a trip back in time with these Cuban cigars, which are presented in a glass jar from the 80s.

It features a Cosacos vitola - measuring 135mm by a 42 ring gauge. It's filled with the finest leaves from Vuelta Abajo in Cuba.

It provides a light-medium smoke - with flavours typical of H. Upmann. 

Montecristo Edmundo Reserva Cosecha 2018

The Montecristo Edmundo Reserva was originally intended as a 2022 release and is the nineth Reserva release, since the launch of the series in 2003 with the Cohiba Reserva Selección. It is also the second time that Montecristo has been selected to create a Reserva, following the Montecristo No.4 in 2007.

These rare cigars are presented in numbered luxury boîte nature boxes containing twenty cigars and each one is decorated with a second silver and black Reserva band. Just 5,000 numbered boxes (100,000 cigars) have been produced for the worldwide market and all the tobaccos used in their creation has been aged in bales for three years prior to rolling. In this instance, the Montecristo Edmundo Reserva has been made exclusively using tobacco from the 2018 harvest (cosecha).

The Edmundo Reserva has been blended to the classic medium to full bodied Montecristo taste that many people consider the benchmark against which all other Havanas are measured. Established in 1935, today Montecristo is the world’s most popular Habanos brand and, in the UK, the Montecristo No.4 is one of the bestselling Havana cigars.

The original Edmundo - 5 1/3” (135mm) x 52 ring gauge - was released in 2004 and has since been joined by the Petit Edmundo (2006), Double Edmundo (2013) and Wide Edmundo (2021). In 2010 the Montecristo Edición Limitada (a Cañonazo size) was named the Grand Edmundo. 

The name Edmundo is inspired by Edmundo Dantes, the eponymous hero of Alexandre Dumas’s novel, The Count of Montecristo “All Montecristo are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade and use only the finest leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone in Pinar del Rio, Cuba. The finest tobacco in the world.”

Montecristo Brillantes have been created by Habanos.sa in celebration of the Chinese Year of the Dragon. They are presented in stylish red lacquered boxes containing 18 cigars. Each box is numbered and only 18,888 boxes made for global distribution.

These rare cigars are sure to become collectors’ items but if enjoyed now, the cigar smoker can expect rich aromas with the spice and ‘tang’ that has made Montecristo’s medium to full bodied blend the benchmark for many aficionados.

The cigar is a unique size within the Habanos portfolio and known as ‘Venerables’ in the factories of Cuba. They measure 5” (128mm) x 53 ring gauge and are dressed with a standard Montecristo band and a specially designed red foot-band bearing a dragon emblem and the legend “Year of the Dragon”. 

This is the fifth release dedicated to celebrating the lunar New Year following the Romeo y Julieta Maravilla 8 (2019), Hoyo de Monterrey Primaveras (2020), H. Upmann Magnum 52 (2021) and the Cohiba Siglo de Oro (2022).

Quai d’Orsay was established in 1974 for the French market. The brand takes its name from the avenue in Paris beside the river Seine that used to be home to the headquarters of SEITA, the then state- owned tobacco importer for France who with Cubatabaco (now Habanos s.a.), joined forces to produce an elegant Cuban brand with a certain je ne sais quoi.

In 2017 the brand received a make-over and two new modern sizes were introduced (No. 50 & No. 54) to join the one remaining surviving vitola (Coronas Claro). Since  then the brand has gone from strength to strength with Quai d’Orsay selected by Habanos s.a.to join the Habanos Limited Edition family in 2019 (Senadores) and by numerous Habanos Distributors around the world to represent their market as a Habanos Regional Edition.

The No.52 is a new vitola within the standard Habanos portfolio and like its two counterparts, is named after the ring gauge it boasts. It is perhaps closest in size to the Montecristo Double Edmundo, sharing its length but with a two-point wider girth.

Classified as light bodied, this is a delicate, well- balanced and thoroughly modern Habanos.

Despite the name, the size of this delightful addition to the Rafael Gonzalez range is neither a Corona or a Lonsdale. It is a Hermoso No.4 which measures 5” (127mm) x 48 ring gauge and joins other classic Habanos of this size such as the El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme, Vegas Robaina Famosos and R&J Exhibition No.4.

The Rafael Gonzalez Coronas de Lonsdales join their Petit Corona and Perla counterparts in the UK. The heavier ring gauge of the Coronas de Lonsdale compared to 42 and 40 respectively will no doubt attract the attention of cigar smokers looking to explore the nuanced flavour and aromas of this understated, light bodied Habanos brand.

Presented in Semi Boîte Nature (SBN) boxes of ten cigars, the Coronas de Lonsdale are made entirely by hand using long filler tobacco sourced from the legendary plantations of Vuelta Abajo in Pinar del Rio, Cuba.

These "Poderosos" are manufactured with selected leaves from the Vuelta Abajo, Pinar del Rio, and comprise a special and unique production of 2,000 individually numbered boxes of 25.

The Bolivar Poderosos (which translates to “powerful” from Spanish) is an extra large figurado, measuring 7 1/8 inches long by 54 ring gauge. The vitola is known as a rodolfo in Cuban cigar factories, and it’s a rarity.

Originating from the town of San Juan y Martinez in the Vuelta Abajo zone, Hoyo de Monterrey traces its roots to the renowned Vegas de Primera plantation. Accessible through a gate inscribed "Hoyo de Monterrey. Jose Gener. 1960." on the main square, this plantation is situated in a low-lying position along the San Juan y Martinez river, as indicated by the term "Hoyo," meaning "hole."

Founded by Jose Gener, a Spaniard from Tarragona, in 1865, the Hoyo de Monterrey brand carries the legacy of its vega's name. The blend of Hoyo de Monterrey is known for its delicate yet aromatic profile, offering a lighter taste with remarkable elegance and complexity, making it an appealing choice for aficionados.

Length: 4 3/4 inches
Ring Gauge: 54

This Cigar is the same size as the H. Upmann Magnum 54

For those who can’t read ancient Greek, “ΟΜΗΡΟΣ” translates to Homer, a nod to the epic poet who penned The Iliad and The Odyssey, two canonic works of ancient Greek literature. It’s perhaps a bit of poetic justice that this cigar is named for a literary figure, as the Sancho Panza brand has literary roots as well. Sancho Panza is a character from the epic Spanish Cervantes novel Don Quixote. - Cigar Aficionado 

This Sancho Panza was intended for 2020, but like so many Cuban cigars, the release date was delayed. The Regional Edition was unveiled in typical celebratory fashion late last month at a lavish launch party at Nammos, a seaside venue in Limassol on the coast of Cyprus.

The Bolívar Gold Medal will be returning to La Casa del Habano (LCDH) stores around the world, but it won’t be the same Bolívar Gold Medal as before.

Habanos S.A. has announced that the Bolívar New Gold Medal will be available exclusively to LCDH stores. It’s a size known as the Partagás 15, 6 1/2 (165mm) x 48. That’s the same length as the original Gold Medal, but the ring gauge has increased from 42 ring gauge.

The latest release from Habanos to arrive in the UK is the Montecristo Wide Edmundo. It is the fourth cigar in the brand’s portfolio to bear the Edmundo name, following the launch of the original in 2004. However, uniquely among its stablemates, the Wide Edmundo is dressed with a second band bearing
its name. The Wide Edmundo is an entirely new vitola (size) within the Habanos portfolio called the Duke No.3. It measures an impressive 4 7/8” (125mm) x 54 ring gauge.. Perhaps unsurprisingly, that makes it the heaviest ring gauge in the Edmundo range.

Montecristo is the benchmark brand for many cigar smokers. Its perfectly balanced blends are all created exclusively with selected filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone, home of the finest tobaccos in the world. All sizes are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.

Saint Luis Rey was founded just before the Second World War.

Some say that its name was taken from a Thomas Wilder play ‘The Bridge of San Luis Rey’, which was popular at the time. However it is more likely that it refers to the town of San Luis in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo tobacco zone, which is particularly famous for the superb wrapper leaves produced there.

Whatever the truth may be, Saint Luis Rey enjoy a reputation among Havana cigar lovers for the intensity of their flavour. They are made with filler and binder from the Vuelta Abajo zone.

All sizes are ‘Tripa Larga, Totalmente a Mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.

For the first time in the history of the brand and the Habanos, S.A. portfolio, all the tobacco for the new Línea comes exclusively from the San Luis region of Pinar del Río, Cuba.

The Hoyo de Monterrey Monterreyes No.4 joins the impressive list of previous vitolas selected to represent the brand for the prestigious Habanos Edición Limitada series. The last one was ten years ago in 2013 when the Grand Epicure was released, a cigar that still has an ardent following today and one that always attracts eye catching prices at auction.

Delayed from 2021, the Monterreyes No.4 is a Maravillas No.4 size 5 3⁄4” (145mm) x 55 ring gauge and is entirely new to the Habanos portfolio.

As with all Edición Limitadas since 2007, the tobacco used to make this cigar has been aged for a minimum of two years. This helps to create a more rounded and approachable flavour profile. The darker wrapper also provides a hint of sweetness that works exceptionally well with Hoyo de Monterrey’s distinct light flavoured blend.

These cigars are presented in a varnished Slide Lid Box of ten and have been made entirely by hand using long filler tobaccos sourced from Vuelta Abajo in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba.

 Habanos S.A. showed off the new La Gloria Cubana Turquinos, a 5 6/11 (141mm) x 50 parejo size known as the Gordito. This vitola has been used for dozens of previous Cuban cigars, it is probably best known as the vitola of the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial.

The Turquinos will be offered in 10-count boxes. Given how it’s described, it is likely to be a regular production offering.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the La Casa del Habano franchise, and Habanos S.A. has announced an exclusive cigar for the worldwide network of Cuban cigar retailers.

The Juan Lopez Selección Especial measures 6 7/10 inches long (170mm) with a 52 ring gauge, a double robusto vitola known as the Fortunas.

The Cigar

This highly prestigious Cohiba 55 Aniversario Limited Edition 2021 upholds the grand legacy of the iconic brand, boasting the nationally-recognized Habanos label. Each cigar, expertly hand-crafted with tobacco leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region and a pigtail finish, is presented in 10-count boxes and features an unprecedented 150 mm x 57 ring gauge “Victoria” vitola, thereby creating an alluringly distinctive cigar.

The Quai D’Orsay Baalbeck – Regional Edition Lebanon – is named after the ancient Baalbeck temple complex in Lebanon and is an expression of one of the most popular lines in the Habanos offer, Quai D’Orsay. The Duke-size cigar features tobacco aged for three years in boxes of 50 for the first time. The initial idea was to produce 60,000 sticks, but with demand expected to be high, the quantity was increased to 120,000 sticks or 2,400 boxes.

Habanos, S.A. will launch the new vitola of the prestigious brand Cohiba, Novedosos (50 ring gauge x 156 mm length) in a world premiere through Tabacalera S.L.U, an exclusive Habanos, S.A distributor in Spain. With this new release, Cohiba introduces an unprecedented vitola into its portfolio that will only be distributed by La Casa del Habano and Habanos Specialists establishments.

 Cohiba, the most prestigious brand in the world of tobacco with more than 50 years of history behind it, will present its exclusive production, Novedosos. These cigars are made “ Totalmente a Mano con Tripa Larga ” – Totally handmade with Long Filler with selected leaves from Vuelta Abajo*, the best tobacco-growing region in the world, in Pinar del Río*, Cuba, and produced by expert Cuban cigar rollers ( torcedores ). This release will be presented in a luxurious case designed especially for the brand, with a black glossy finish and Cohiba’s characteristic grid pattern. Also, each of the Habanos has an additional ring that indicates its exclusive production for La Casa del Habano and Habanos Specialists stores. 

Cohiba is the only Habanos brand in which three of the four types of leaves used in its elaboration, Seco, Ligero and Medio Tiempo undergo additional fermentation in casks. This special process translates into an aroma and flavour that can only be found in this brand.

With more than 50 years of history, Cohiba is the most prestigious brand in the world of tobacco. Created in 1966, for many years it was intended only as a gift for state officials, both national and international. Since then, it has been produced at the prestigious El Laguito factory in Havana. The brand lends its name to an ancient word used by the Taíno Indians, native inhabitants of the Island, to define the rolled tobacco leaves they smoked, and that Christopher Columbus first saw in Cuba in 1492. Cohiba was, therefore, the first name given to tobacco.
