The Ramon Allones Perfecto was the cigar chosen by Mexican importer IEPT, together with Habanos SA, as the Regional Edition cigar for the Mexican market in 2020.

As the name suggests, this Cuban Cigar comes in a Perfecto shape. That is, tapered at both ends as it used to be the norm in the 19th century. Nowadays Perfecto cigars are a much rarer find so we welcome this decision by the regional distributor. 

The cigar presents itself incredibly well made, with deep tobacco aromas exuding from the 10-count boxes they are packaged in. Production was set at 60,000 cigars which means only 6,000 numbered boxes were made.

This Vitola, also known as Taco, comes in at 158mm in length by 47 rings. A most interesting format offering about one and a half-hour of pure enjoyment.

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.

The Por Larranaga Leones is the newest Regional Edition for Spain in 2023. It has been release into the spanish market in September 2023.

The Por Larrañaga Leones is a 42 Ring Gauge x 155mm long cigar that will come in boxes of 10. Only 50000 boxes have been released. Like every other Por Larrañaga, it comes with an immaculate golden band.

H. Upmann Magnum Finite Limited Edition 2024 (53 ring gauge x 130 mm length)stands out not only for its elegance but also for its exclusivity. It is a vitola designed for aficionados seeking a unique and sophisticated experience, combining the heritage and brand’s tradition, its refined Habanos, with a light to medium strength, and the characteristic aging of at least two years for Limited Editions. H. Upmann Magnum Finite is the result of a meticulous crafting process, using wrapper, filler, and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo* plantations, where the world's best tobacco is produced, in Pinar del Rio* region, Cuba*.

Magnum Finite comes in an exclusive box of 25 units, reaffirming its limited nature, reflecting the quality and exclusivity of this Limited Edition.

A welcome return for a much-loved classic Habano. Initially reintroduced in presentation gift boxes containing 3 cigars, the Trinidad Robusto Extra is now available in lacquered boxes of 12. This style of presentation moves the brand away for the first time from the traditional semi-boîte nature boxes for which the brand has become renowned.

The cigars in the new 12 box remain dressed with three bands, including one celebrating the brand’s 55 anniversary.

Size: (6 1/8 inches long by 50 ring Gauge)

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.

The much-anticipated Bolivar Regentes is the 2021 Habanos Limited Edition and measures 5 1/8” (130mm) x 52 ring gauge. The vitola is known as a Discretos in the world-famous cigar factories of Cuba and are presented in special production SLB boxes containing 25 cigars.

The Bolivar Regentes shares its dimensions with the Partagás Maduros No.1 and delivers voluminous rounded smoke to the palate which is balanced with intense layered flavours and rich aromas. A signature for this powerful Habanos brand.

All the tobacco for the Bolivar Regentes has been aged for a minimum of two years which from 2007 was a standard introduced to all leaves destined to become an Edición Limitada Habano.

Although this is perhaps not a cigar for the novice, the characteristics make it one of the most sought-after marques among more experienced cigar smokers and for collectors looking to round the robust, rich aromas even further by laying them down to age.
