Cuban Cigars

Bolivar Belicosos Finos Reserva Cosecha 2016

The Cigar

This is the first time that Bolívar has been selected to create a Reserva and it is perhaps no surprise that they have chosen their most iconic vitola (size) to do so: The Belicoso Fino.

The Reserva classification signifies that all the tobacco used has been aged in bales for three years before being rolled into cigars. The leaves used for this particular release were all harvested in 2016.

Production method: Totally handmade using long filler with all leaves sourced from the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba

Línea Maestra is a premium extension to the Partagas range in the same way that Behike was for Cohiba in 2010, Línea 1935 for Montecristo in 2017 and Línea de Oro for Romeo y Julieta in 2020. It is the second addition following the introduction of the Partagas Línea Maduro in 2018.

The three new sizes which make up the Linea Maestra are Origen, Rito and Maestro. All are unique within the Habanos portfolio and have been crafted with a Cabeza Tumbada or ‘dropped head, a style often referred to as a ‘109’ due to Partagas 109 cigars rolled with the same finish included in commemorative branded humidors in the past. This traditional style of finishing was last seen on the Ramon Allones Hunters & Frankau Anniversario 225, a special release in 2015 to celebrate the 225th anniversary of the company.

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. This gives them a special aromatic complexity without losing the brand’s unique character and blend and are classified as full bodied like the rest of the portfolio. The Línea Maestra range is presented in striking blue lacquered boxes containing 20 cigars. Each cigar is dressed with a unique blue band sporting the name of the vitola as well as an additional foot band.

Size: 65⁄8” (168mm) x 52

Partagas Serie D No.4 Reserva 2005

The power and intensity is still in abundance but the extra aged tobaccos used in this cigar provide a rare smoothness and subtlety to the smoke. An iron fist in a velvet glove.

FLAVOUR: Full
VITOLA: Robusto
RING GAUGE: 50
LENGTH: 4 7/8 Inches / 124mm 

Montecristo No.4 Reserva 2007

The Cigar

Romeo y Julieta Churchill Reserva 2012

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2 Reserva 2016

The Cigar

For many people the Epicure No.2 is a long-established favourite and a popular ‘turn to’ cigar. So it is perhaps a little surprising it has taken so long to see the first Hoyo Reserva. On the evidence so far from its delayed appearance in 2018, it has been well worth the wait.

FLAVOUR: Light to Medium
VITOLA: Robusto
RING GAUGE: 50
LENGTH: 4 7/8 Inches / 124mm 

Cohiba Robusto Reserva

The Cigar

This classic vitola (shape) from the most prestigious Habanos brand is, for many smokers, the pinnacle of modern cigar-making in Cuba. Medium to Full bodied but the extra bale-aged tobaccos impart a depth and elegance that will draw you in and capture your attention for every minute of the half hour or so it takes to enjoy. A difficult to find but glorious cigar.

FLAVOUR: Medium to Full
VITOLA: Robusto
RING GAUGE: 50
LENGTH: 4 7/8 Inches / 124mm 

Montecristo 80 Aniversario

The Cigar 

Not strictly a Limited Edition as the tobaccos are not aged in the same way, the cigars are not dressed with maduro wrappers and they are not adorned with the second band. Nonetheless it is a fantastic cigar and a great way to mark the 80th anniversary of the world’s most popular Havana brand. This cigar is already a collector’s item and is, unusually, presented in boxes of 20.

Partagas Serie D No.6

The Cigar:

Although only 3 1/2 inches (90mm) long, this cigar has all the hallmarks of the Partagas brand. It is a rich, earthy, peppery and powerful as you would expect from Havana's most popular full flavoured cigar brand. 

Montecristo OPEN  Regata

The Cigar:

A completely new figurado shape made in the image of the famous No.2, but shorter and thinner. All the smoking characteristics of its big brother are preserved in a lighter flavoured, less time consuming size.

Montecristo OPEN  Master

The Cigar:

The Open Series made way, at last, for a Robusto size in Montecristo’s illustrious line-up. A delightful, medium bodied addition in this popular shape sporting the allimportant fleur-de-lys on its band.

Montecristo OPEN  Junior

The Cigar:

The smallest of the Open Series. The Junior takes the form of a rare vitola previously only found in the Le Hoyo Series (du Deputé). A perfect morning or aperitif smoke.

Montecristo OPEN  Eagle

The Cigar:

The largest of the Montecristo Open series introduced in 2009. Its innovative 54 ring gauge format houses a different, slightly lighter tobacco blend than you find in standard Montecristos. Suits experienced and novice smokers alike

Montecristo LINEA 1935 Maltes

The Cigar:

This rare size is known as a 'Sobresalientes' within the factories of Cuba, a word which translates as 'Outstanding'in English, and its easy to see why. Big and bold, but also subtle and nuanced with a lightness of touch that surprises many people the first time they light one up. 

Montecristo LINEA 1935 Leyenda

The Cigar:

The largest of the three cigars that comprises Montecristo's new linea 1935, the Leyanda delivers an abundance of rich, flavoursome smoke over the course of the house and a half or so it takes to enjoy. Not a cigar to be hurried and perhaps best enjoyed after a hearty meal. 

Montecristo LINEA 1935 Dumas

The Cigar:

The Dumas offers a full bodied blend of signiture Montecristo tobaccos and helps make the Linea 1935 a new way to enjoy the most popular premium cigar brand in the world
