Cuban Cigars

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  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 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.

 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.

The Cigar

Habanos SA is introducing a new extension to its Montecristo Edmundo line with the Montecristo Wide Edmundo.

Montecristo Edmundo is a series under the Montecristo line named after Edmund Dantes, the title character from The Count of Montecristo.

Keeping to the theme of 50+ ring gauge the Montecristo Edmundo releases are known for, the Montecristo Wide Edmundo is a Duke No. 3 measuring 54 x 125 mm (54 x 4 59⁄64″).

It will be presented in ten and 25-count boxes. Habanos SA says a tube offering will also be offered.

 

The Partagás Aliados measures 6 5/8” (167mm) x 45 ring gauge and is presented in a beautifully crafted, clear lacquered wooden box containing 20 cigars that are each dressed with two bands. The first is the classic Partagas band while the second denotes the exclusive availability of this vitola (size) through the global network of La Casa del Habanos and Havana Cigar Specialist shops, the cornerstone for Habanos in most markets.

The Aliados is a unique vitola in the Habanos portfolio and is known as a Delirios in the cigar factories of Cuba. The taste of Partagas is immediately recognisable with rich, earthy notes delivered the moment this distinct Habano is fired into life. The character of the blend springs from a selection of filler and binder tobaccos grown in the Vuelta Abajo zone and

It measures 6 1/8 (157mm) x 48, a size known as the Hermosos No.2, that is not part of the brand’s regular production offerings and has only been used for Edición Limitada and is offered in 25 count boxes.

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

Partagas Maduro No.1

The Cigar

Adorned with an additional band and dressed in a distinctive dark (maduro) wrapper the Maduro No.1 was an innovative extension to the range when it was released in 2015. It remains available exclusively in Casas del Habanos and in Havana Cigar Specialists. 

Partagas Maduro No.2

The Cigar:

The shortest but also the widest of the three sizes in a Maduro series, this cigar also has the distinction of being the only figurado. A short but powerful cigar ideally suited for after a hearty meal.  

Partagas Maduro No.3

The Cigar:

Despite its name this was the second of the Maduro Linea to be released in the UK. The dark wrappers add a slight sweetness as a top taste and helps create an innovative cigar of depth and character that still remains true to the classic Partagas taste. 

Partagas Petit Coronas Especiales

The Cigar

A slightly extra length Petit Corona that offers good value for money and a taste that is true to the Partagas brand.

Partagas Presidente

The Cigar

A long standing feature of the Partagas Range, this double Figurado was only introduced into the UK market in 2017 and has proved to be a popular addition. 

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.

Partagas Serie D No.5 

The Cigar

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.

Partagas Serie D No.6

The Cigar

Although only 3 ½” (90mm) long this cigar has all the hallmarks of the Partagas brand. It is as rich, earthy, peppery and powerful as you would expect from Havana’s most popular full flavoured cigar brand.

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. 

 

Partagas Serie P No.2 

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.

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.

Por Larranaga Montecarlos

The Cigar

Although cigars of this shape are now often overlooked in favour of something wider, anyone picking up a Montecarlos will discover an elegant and chic, light to medium bodied smoke full of subtlety and nuance. For the discriminating smoker

Por Larranaga Petit Corona

The Cigar

The single standard bearer for Por Larrañaga’s regular range in the UK. It carries the brand’s traditional colours well with its creamy, light to medium flavour.

Por Larranaga Piccadores

The Cigar

This 2014 release is only available from La Casa del Habanos and Havana Cigar Specialists. However, its light to medium blend with distinctive floral and zesty notes makes it well worth seeking out. Ideal after lunch with a cold glass of buttery Chardonnay.

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.

The Cigar 

Description 

It had been decades since the Cuban Punch Brand  saw a new size in its regular portfolio but at the 2019 Habanos Festival, a most unexpected announcement was made: Punch was getting a Robusto.

As it turned out, the cigar more than lived up to the hype—it’s one of the finest Cuban Punches we’ve encountered in years. Each puff brings all the warm qualities of holiday baking from nutmeg and oatmeal cookies to pecans and graham cracker, but there’s a spicy hint of hot chili oil tying it all together in unexpected ways.

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.

 

Length:  5 1/2 Inches
Ring Gauge: 54
Packaging: Cabinet of 50
Only 2400 boxes made

Quai D'Orsay No.50

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. 

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.

 

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. 

Quintero Favorito

The Cigar:

A short, sturdy cigar made using the short filler, totally handmade technique. Mellow, rounded and good value for money.. 

Quintero Petit Quintero

The Cigar

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

The Ramon Allones Phoenicio 40 is a cigar released to celebrate the 40^th anniversary of the Phoenicio Trading, one of the biggest Habanos distributors. The cigar, presented last year at a virtual event that happened simultaneously with some tasting in some countries around the globe, was first available in a limited series of humidors.

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.

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.

RING GAUGE: 47
LENGTH: 7 inches - 178 mm

Introducing the Romeo y Julieta Cupidos, a special production Habano reserved for exclusive distribution through Havana Cigar Specialist networks and La Casa del Habano franchises worldwide.

Presented in stylish lacquered boxes, the cigars are long-filler handmade using tobacco harvested from Vuelta Abajo in the Pinar Del Rio region of Cuba.

RING GAUGE: 48
LENGTH: 5 inches - 127 mm

FLAVOUR: Medium

Romeo y Julieta Petit Royales

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
