Partagas Serie D No.4

The Cigar:

Many see this as the definitive Robusto. With its controlled, rich, complex taste and distinctive red and gold band, they have a good point. A pure bred Havana.

Bolivar Belicosos Finos

The Cigar:

As one would expect from a brand that is named after such a powerful figure, this cigar is full bodied. Bolivar is simply one of the richest and most commanding brands within the Habanos portfolio. Although not for the novice, these traits are what make it one of the most sought-after names amongst more experienced cigar smokers.

The full gauge of the Belicoso Fino, combined with the tapered end of this Campana shape, which means “bell” in Spanish, creates the ideal format for a robust blend of leaves. The Belicoso Fino is presented either in labelled boxes or Cabinet Selection bundles of 25 cigars. The cigars in bundles are now banded.

In 2007 Cigar Aficionado described this cigar as “A gorgeous torpedo gleaming with oils. It has a near perfect draw that imparts a luxuriously textured smoke rich with profound wood and tobacco flavours”. Then, when revisiting the cigar in 2010 went on to say “The smoke has a velvety texture and is full of toast, earth and cedary flavours that cohere to a floral, herbaceous finish”. They also scored it an impressive 92 out of 100.

Min Ron NEE, in ‘An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Post Revolution Havana Cigars’ describes the Belicosos Finos as a ‘Suave Bolivar’ with ‘earthy, subtle “tangy” fruity flavours’. He goes on to add ‘Bolivar is one of my favourite brands. If I was condemned to smoke only one brand, I have no hesitation that Bolivar would be the choice’.

Commercial Name: Belicosos Finos
Factory Name: Campana
Dimensions: 5½” (140mm) x 52 ring gauge
Flavour category: Full
Production method: Totally handmade using long filler with all leaves sourced from the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba Presentations: 25-cigar Cabinet (SLB)

Partagas Lusitanias

The Cigar:

A star size if ever there was one. There are few sights in the cigar world to match a Cabinet Selection bundle of 50 Lusitanias. Happily they come in smaller quantities too

Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill

The Cigar

Here is one of the new generation of extra heavy weights which was released in 2010 and remains a unique size in the standard Habanos S.A. portfolio.

VITOLA: Montesco
RING GAUGE: 55
LENGTH: 5 1/4 inches - 130 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Partagas Serie P No.2 (P2)

The Cigar:

A rich, earthy, full flavoured ‘torpedo’. This easy drawing, satisfying size was a welcome addition to Partagas when Habanos S.A. introduced it in 2005. The P stands for Pirámide – its factory name.

Montecristo No.4

The Cigar:

Simply the most popular individual handmade cigar in the world. Its rich, tangy, medium to full flavour acts as the benchmark for most smokers embarking on the journey to find their preferred Habano. Many return to it.

Romeo y Julieta Churchill

The Cigar

Romeo’s time honoured star size. The vitola dates from the early 20th century. Churchill permitted his name to be used on it from the mid 1950s. Imposing, statesmanlike; a commanding size that rewards the smoker with richly developing flavours.

VITOLA: Julieta No.2
RING GAUGE: 47
LENGTH: 7 inches - 178 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Montecristo No.2

The Cigar:

If ever one brand has come to dominate a particular vitola, this is it. The classic Pirámide or ‘torpedo’ size. Easy burning with a controlled release of faithful Montecristo flavours; many devotees look no further than this.

H.Upmann Half Corona

The Cigar:

The first 31 /2 inch (90mm) Havana to be introduced since the Second World War. Its forebear, called the Half-a-Corona, was in its day the biggest selling Havana size by far.

Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill

The Cigar

For too long there was no robusto in Romeo’s range, so the arrival of the Short Churchill in 2006 proved most welcome. It was the first medium flavoured cigar from Cuba in this popular vitola. Hardly surprising, then that it has been a huge success.

VITOLA: Robusto
RING GAUGE: 50
LENGTH: 4 7/8 inches - 124 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Partagas Serie E No.2

The Cigar:

2011 saw the addition of a new letter to the Partagas Alphabet Series. The E means the cigar has a ring gauge of 54. A big cigar in size and taste with attractive packaging improvements too.

Diplomaticos No.2

The Cigar

Still produced in Cuba, this well-tailored torpedo with its distinct taste offers all the excellent smoking characteristics of its shape.

Flavour: Medium To Full
Vitola: Piramide
Ring Gauge: 52
Length: 6 1/8 Inches - 156 Mm

Bolivar Royal Coronas

The Cigar:

As one would expect from a cigar brand named after such a powerful figure, this cigar is rich and full bodied. It is simply one of the richest and commanding brands within the Habanos portfolio. Although this is certainly not a cigar for the novice, these traits are what make it one of the most sought-after marques among more experienced cigar smokers.

The full gauge of the Royal Coronas (known as a Robusto within Cuban cigar factories) creates the ideal format for this muscular blend of leaves, creating a cigar of exceptional balance.

Cigar Aficionado recently reviewed this cigar, scoring it an impressive 94 out of 100 saying “Current Bolivar RCs (Royal Coronas) seem to take their inspiration from what we consider one of the golden ages for Cuban smokes, the late 1980s and early 1990s. That was when Cuban cigarmakers created and made some of their best cigars. “They also made it their Cigar Of The Year in 2006.

Min Ron NEE, in ‘An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Post Revolution Havana Cigars’ describes the royal Coronas as ‘Suave’ with ‘earthy and peppery flavours’. He goes on to add ‘Bolivar is one of my favourite brands. If I was condemned to smoke only one brand, I have no hesitation that Bolivar would be the choice’.

Commercial Name: Royal Coronas
Factory Name: Robusto

The Cigar:

This 2017 release from Quai D'Orsay offers smokers a lighter alternative in a popular size, and comes dressed in a new band that is destined to become standard across the range. 

About the Brand: 

This brand owes its origin to the refined taste of the French market. Created in the 1970’s, the name is taken from a well-known street in Paris beside the River Seine.

Although the current range is small, all Quai d’Orsay sizes are made with a distinctive light tasting blend of filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone and its wrappers are mainly distinguished by their Claro (light brown) and Colorado Claro (mid brown) colours.

All sizes are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.

Introduced in 1971 and sharing its dimensions with Cohiba’s Lanceros, the Especial offers a slightly more intense flavour in this elegant size.

Quai D'Orsay No.54

The Cigar:

This is an entirely new size within the Habanos SA portfolio. It is very similar to the Montecristo Edmundo but a fraction wider. A light bodied, easy going and thoroughly modern Havana that is packed full of Gallic charm.

Montecristo Edmundo

The Cigar:

Named after Alexandre Dumas’ hero Edmundo Dantes in ‘The Count of Montecristo’, the Edmundo was one of the first extra heavy gauge, parejo sizes produced in Cuba in the 21st century. Big and rewarding.

El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme

The Cigar

Once the definitive size of El Rey, this heavy girth vitola is sadly no longer made in Cuba. A few remain in the UK in both 25s and Cabinet Selection 50s. Collectors’ items.

Flavour: Light to Medium
Vitola: Hermoso No.4
Ring Gauge: 48
Length: 5 Inches - 127 Mm

San Cristobal El Principe

The Cigar 

A wonderfully versatile small cigar with a delicious elegance to its taste. Perfect to accompany a pre-dinner glass of champagne or to keep with you for those brief occasions when there’s only just time for a good cigar. Light to medium, aromatic

VITOLA: Minuto
RING GAUGE: 42
LENGTH: 4 3/8 inches - 110 mm
FLAVOUR: Light to Medium

Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas

The Cigar

A substantial small cigar that delivers much more flavour and aroma than its diminutive dimensions might suggest.

Romeo y Julieta Petit Julietas

The Cigar

The factory name tells us the size was designed for intervals at the theatre (Entreactos translates to Between Acts). There are many more reasons for short smoking breaks these days.

VITOLA: Entreactos
RING GAUGE: 30
LENGTH: 4 inches - 102 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Montecristo No.5

The Cigar:

The smallest of Montecristo’s original, tightly defined range. A good pressed cigar with a flavour and aroma that develops during smoking. A faithful companion almost anywhere.

Cuaba Divinos

The Cigar

Strictly speaking this is a ‘perfecto’ size not a double figurado because the cigar’s head is rounded not pointed. It has a particular intensity of taste that makes it the perfect accompaniment to a morning espresso

Flavour: Medium To Full
Vitola: Petit Bouquet
Ring Gauge: 43
Length: 4 Inches - 101 Mm

Punch Punch

The Cigar:

The signature Corona Gorda size that has been a big player amongst heavy girth Havanas for five decades. You can depend upon it to deliver the vivacious notes that separate Cubans from the rest. Now in aluminium tubes.

Montecristo Especial No. 2

The Cigar:

Another vitola that Montecristo shares with Cohiba. Slender ring gauges may not be in vogue these days, but 38 is sufficient to house the full Montecristo blend in a dapper shape

Bolivar Coronas Junior

The Cigar:

A small cigar with a full 42 ring gauge that makes it an option even after a rich dinner if time to smoke is limited.

Vitola: Minuto
Ring Gauge: 42
Length: 43/8 inches - 110 mm
Strength : Full

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.

Guantanamera Cristales Tubos

The Cigar

Machine-made with short-filler Cuban tobacco this is a deceptively substantial cigar at just under six inches long. Presented in individual plastic tubes it is light bodied, pre-cut and affordable. Making it a popular choice among occasional smokers at weddings or other memorable events. 

Flavour: Light 
Line: Cristales
Ring Gauge: 41
Length: 5 7/8 Inches - 150 mm

Bolivar Petit Coronas

The Cigar:

Simon Bolivar was one of the great historic figures of the 19th Century who liberated much of South America from Spanish rule.

The Bolivar brand was created in 1902 and is based today in the Partagas factory which is in the heart of Havana. 

It is perhaps not surprising that a Habano named after such a powerful figure is blended to match his might. Bolivar is among the strongest, most full bodied of all Habanos. It boasts an unrivalled richness of flavour in its blend of Vuelta Abajo zone filler and binder tobacco that makes it one of the most sought-after marques amongst experienced smokers. 

Length: 5 1/8" 
Ring Gauge: 42
Flavour: Full
Vitola: Mareva

Partagas Short

The Cigar:

One of the great small Havanas. It punches above its weight, so to speak, giving the impression of a larger size. Good after a meal or to take on your travels.

Quintero Petit Quintero

The Cigar

This diminutive cigar still delivers all of the brand's signature flavour

Montecristo Petit Edmundo

The Cigar:

Edmundo’s little brother blessedly burst onto the scene just ahead of the smoking ban, so that devotees of heavy gauge, intense flavoured cigars had a shorter alternative.

El Rey Del Mundo Demi Tasse

The Cigar

A fine example of the smallest format made by hand in Cuba. Tiny but tasty

Flavour: Light to Medium
Vitola: Entreacto
Ring Gauge: 30

Following the success of a limited edition version of this size in 2008 the Serie D No.5 joined the ranks of Partagas’s standard sizes in 2011. Its tobacco leaves are selected and aged according to the normal criteria for the brand.

Sancho Panza Belicosos

VITOLA: Campana
RING GAUGE: 52
LENGTH: 5 1/2 inches - 140 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

H.Upmann Majestic

The Cigar:

An inexpensive cigar for its size, the Majestic projects an image well above its price bracket. The taste is somewhat more intense than many Upmanns, but if you know what you are buying, you will be rewarded.

Montecristo Media Corona

The Cigar:

As just 3 1/2 (90mm) long, this is as short a cigar you will find being made in Cuba today. However, despite its lack of length it is still able to deliver plenty of Montecristo taste. Ideal for when time is an issue.  

Romeo y Julieta Petit Royales

Montecristo Petit No.2

The Cigar:

All the medium to full character of the classic No.2 in a shorter smoke. A welcome additon to Montecristo’s line-up, which is also dressed in the new band.

San Cristobal La Punta

The Cigar 

A belicoso size named after the small fort on the point of the entrance to Havana harbour opposite the Morro Castle. Shows all the great smoking qualities of this figurado size.

Ring Gauge: 42
Length: 4 3/8 Inches - 110 mm

RING GAUGE: 50
LENGTH: 4 inches - 102 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Por Larranaga Montecarlos

Vegas Robaina Famosos

The Cigar 

There is no better shape than this piramide or torpedo to deliver the richness of Vegas Robaina’s medium to full blend. A tribute to all the farmers of Vuelta Abajo.

RING GAUGE: 52
LENGTH: 6 1/8 inches - 156 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium to Full

LENGTH: 5 1/2 inches - 140 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Flavour: Medium To Full
Vitola: Favorita
Ring Gauge: 42
Length: 4 3/4 Inches - 120 Mm

San Cristobal La Fuerza

The Cigar

VITOLA: Gordito
RING GAUGE: 50
LENGTH: 5 1/2 inches - 140 mm
FLAVOUR: Light to Medium

Montecristo No.3

The Cigar:

Another of the original Montecristos; this one a Corona. From start to finish it maintains the true taste of this brand.

H.Upmann Connoisseur No.1

The Cigar:

Virtually a robusto, but slightly thinner and longer, this cigar merits the title ‘connoisseur’ for its delicate light flavour, great balance and elegant aroma. Once presented without a band, now it sports Upmann’s distinctive red and gold colours.

The Cigar

A light, elegant Petit Corona with a taste that makes it an ideal way to start the day.
