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 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.

The other item is a special guarantee seal, decorated with shiny silver foil, embossed spots, and invisible black-light ink.

These additions will be very helpful for customers interested in these releases since some Ramon Allones Phoenicio 40 Exclusivo Libano fake boxes have been already been spotted in some markets.

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.
