The Bolívar Gold Medal will be returning to La Casa del Habano (LCDH) stores around the world, but it won’t be the same Bolívar Gold Medal as before.

Habanos S.A. has announced that the Bolívar New Gold Medal will be available exclusively to LCDH stores. It’s a size known as the Partagás 15, 6 1/2 (165mm) x 48. That’s the same length as the original Gold Medal, but the ring gauge has increased from 42 ring gauge.

Like the previous Gold Medal, the cigar is covered in golden foil that begins at the top of the cigar and the Bolívar band is placed over the foil at the bottom of the foil. A red LCDH band is placed below that. It will be offered in 10-count boxes.

Name: New Gold Medal
Factory name: Partagas 15
Dimensions: 6 ½” (165mm) x 48 ring gauge
Presentation: Labelled box of 10 cigars

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’.

Davidoff Aniversario No.1 Limited Edition 2023

The Cigar

Made to celebrate Zino Davidoff's 80th birthday in 1986, the original Aniversario No. 1 honoured the occasion with its exceptional size and elegance. Today you can savour this re-rolled icon as Davidoff Aniversario No. 1 Limited Edition Collection.

The Davidoff Aniversario No. 1 with its impressive size allows for a pronounced development of all three parts of the cigar, during which the blend's sophisticated taste is brought out nicely. In the first third, herbal aromas complement warm notes of cedar wood and cream. Moving on, citrus and fresh spice are dominated by savoury roasted nuts. As the cigar approaches its grand finale, hints of fresh spice harmonise with flavours of walnuts and cedar wood.

The limited-edition cigar is presented in a 48 RG x 8 ⅔" double corona format.

In 1946, Zino Davidoff designed a line of cigars which would be crafted like classic Bordeaux wines. The blend would be selected depending on the soil and the climate in which the tobacco grew, just like the French ‘terroirs’. And just as Bordeaux wines blend three different main grapes, these cigars would feature three different fillers.

 Voilá, Davidoff Grand Cru cigars were born. Now, like the rich, ripe grapes of Bordeaux, the fruits of another piece of innovation have been harvested and turned into a truly remarkable cigar, one even more deserving of the title Grand Cru.

For the Diademas Finas Limited Edition Collection incorporates tobacco aged in Premier Grand Cru red wine casks from Bordeaux. In the spirit of Zino’s pioneering blends, this is the first time where a winecask aged tobacco has been used.

A San Vicente seco tobacco is matured for six months in the casks. As a result, the flavour carries the same notes which characterise the chateaux wines – dark cherries, walnuts and citrus. The combination rolls around in the mouth like wine being swirled in a glass. To add extra distinctiveness to this Limited Edition, it comes in the striking figurado format. The shape guides the palate towards the richness of the blend. Perfect to accompany a vintage bottle from France’s most celebrated wine region. For this is truly vintage Davidoff.

Santé.

Davidoff Winston Churchill "The Artist" Limited Edition 2025

The Cigar

Sir Winston Churchill was a man of many talents. He never ceased to inspire those around him with his diverse skills and interests, not only in politics and travel, but also in writing and the arts – often with a cigar in his hand, no matter the time of day or night.

Davidoff has translated Sir Winston’s multi-faceted character into complex multi-origin blends and formats that accompany aficionados throughout the day and into the night.

Davidoff launched the highly acclaimed Winston Churchill Limited Editions in 2016, with each release highlighting one of the many character facets of the iconic leader: The Davidoff Winston Churchill Limited Editions inspired by the Raconteur (2016), the Traveller (2019), the Commander (2021), or the Statesman (2022) have created excitement and increased desirability among customers. In 2025, aficionados will be delighted by another Limited Edition, which will be available in limited quantities and will showcase Sir Winston’s artistic personality: The Davidoff Winston Churchill Limited Edition 2025. The Churchill cigar is inspired by his character facet of the Artist.

#6 Cigar Journal Cigar of the Year 2023

The Year of the Dragon Limited Edition completes Davidoff’s cycle of twelve consecutive celebrations around a Chinese zodiac. The brand honors the important year with several limited-edition products inspired by the Dragon and its fascinating personality. 

The powerful Dragon requires an equal format, making this zodiac’s cigar the biggest creation out of all “Year of” executions to date. The double corona carries an eye-catching foot ring which covers the uncut part of the cigar. This enables aficionados to enjoy the first inch/2.5 cm of the masterpiece without the wrapper leaf, which creates an intriguing play of flavors and visualizes the Dragon spitting fire.

The blend consists of 8 tobaccos, combined for a total of 60 years aging. In 2024, this number will match the age of a person born in 1964, which is also a Year of the Dragon. This year’s edition comes in a handsome box of ten cigars. The top surface of the box shows a captivating iridescent varnished dragon skin pattern all over. The powerful Year of the Dragon icon in the center holds a pearl, which in Chinese culture symbolizes wisdom, prosperity and fortune.

A wooden tray inside the box reveals two cigar sections that are divided by a silky red ribbon inspired by the Dragon’s tongue.

TASTING NOTES:

1/3 – The uncut foot of the cigar offers an inch of enjoyment without the wrapper leaf, during which earthy, wooden and herbal notes are present. Once the wrapper takes over, the taste changes to rich notes of roasted nuts, cream and subtle liquorice.

2/3 – The intensity rises in the second third, when notes of sweet honey, white pepper and citrus dominate. The double corona format and 8 different types of tobaccos of a combined age of 60 years create and elegant and sophisticated taste journey.

3/3 – In the cigars final third, fresh spice and oak wood complement the dominating notes of dark chocolate. The intensity remains the same as before, making the last part of this masterpiece especially smooth and well-balanced.

Format: Double Corona
Ring Gauge: 50
Length [in]: 7 1/2"
Smoking Time: 90-100 Minutes
Wrapper: Ecuador
Binder: Dominican Republic
Filler: Dominican Republic / Nicaragua / Mexico
Strength: 3 out of 5

Davidoff's latest addition to their collection features a cigar inspired by the 12 symbols on the Chinese Zodiac calendar for the 14th consecutive year. It marks the beginning of the second cycle of the calendar, making it a significant release. The cigars boast a blend of an Ecuadorian wrapper, binder, and fillers sourced from the Dominican Republic and Mexico's renowned San Andrés Valley. This is also the first time the brand incorporates a Dominican hybrid seed 98 from the prestigious Martín García region, situated west of Mao and south of Monte Cristi. Moreover, it is only the second time that Mexican tobacco has been used in a Davidoff blend.

The latest in Davidoff's Zodiac series, this beautiful Lancero size celebrates the Year of the Snake. 

The taste profile of the blend is quite unusual and a novelty for a Davidoff cigar: With flavours of lemon, leather and coffee, the limited edition cigar makes for a perfect introduction to the new cycle. Especially the Dominican San Vicente and the Mexican Negro San Andres filler tobaccos, which are both known to stimulate the areas on the palate responsible for sour and salty sensations, drive the fresh and lemony notes without ever overpowering the palate. 

The Year of the Snake Limited Edition 2025 comes in a wooden box of ten, which, like the Snake, is elegant, graceful and serene on the outside, but leaves the excitement inside for those who want to explore. A removable wooden frame adds to the excitement of unboxing and the novelties inside: Aficionados will receive their removable, numbered collector’s coin and can admire the second band of the cigar in red with a yellow accent.

Edmundo Dantes Conde Belicoso RE Mexico 2016

The Cigar

In 2007, Habanos S.A. released the first Edición Regional for the country of Mexico, the Edmundo Dantes El Conde 109 Edición Regional Mexico. 

Because Montecristo is a “global” brand it cannot be used for an Edición Regional. As such, the Edmundo Dantes brand was used for this release in Mexico

Edmundo Dantes Conde Belicoso RE Mexico 2016 is a highly rated cigar and is a popular choice for the collectors. Only 6,000 boxes made.

Length: 5 1/2 Inches

Ring Gauge: 52

Hoyo De Monterrey De San Juan

The Cigar

Hoyo de Monterrey is by far the most popular brand within the light flavour category outlined by Habanos S. A. The Le Hoyo series is typified by a delicate, cedar taste with a hint of white pepper and cream, that remains light enough for inexperienced smokers, while offering enough elegance and layering of flavours to keep aficionados satisfied.

This new cigar displays all of these classic characteristics but, with a 54 ring gauge, does so within a very modern format. Most agree that, although it is displaying a great deal of subtlety, finesse and delicacy already, it also has wonderful ageing potential for the medium to long term.

A most welcome addition to the Hoyo family.

Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes LCDH

The Cigar

The Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes is covered in a cinnamon brown wrapper that features a bit of tooth as well as a significant amount of oil. The cigar is quite spongy when squeezed, and there are multiple veins running up and down the length. Aroma from the wrapper is a combination of strong barnyard, manure, grass, cedar and leather, while the cold draw brings flavors of creamy oak, almonds, cinnamon, leather and a touch of citrus.

Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes LCDH is a unique cigar that is delicate, aromatic, and complex in taste. An attractive choice for the cigar aficionado.

Length: 6 1/4"

Ring Gauge: 47

Strength: Light 

Hoyo Epicure De luxe LCDH is part of one of the most historic brands with light flavours, aromatic and elegance. An attractive choice for the aficionado.

The Cigar

The Hoyo de Monterrey Monterreyes No.4 joins the impressive list of previous vitolas selected to represent the brand for the prestigious Habanos Edición Limitada series. The last one was ten years ago in 2013 when the Grand Epicure was released, a cigar that still has an ardent following today and one that always attracts eye catching prices at auction.

Delayed from 2021, the Monterreyes No.4 is a Maravillas No.4 size 5 3⁄4” (145mm) x 55 ring gauge and is entirely new to the Habanos portfolio.

As with all Edición Limitadas since 2007, the tobacco used to make this cigar has been aged for a minimum of two years. This helps to create a more rounded and approachable flavour profile. The darker wrapper also provides a hint of sweetness that works exceptionally well with Hoyo de Monterrey’s distinct light flavoured blend.

These cigars are presented in a varnished Slide Lid Box of ten and have been made entirely by hand using long filler tobaccos sourced from Vuelta Abajo in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba.

Description

The cigar measures 5 9/10 inches (150mm) long with a 54-ring gauge, a vitola known as the geniales. It is a vitola that has been used many times for Edición Regional releases, but can also be found in regular production cigars, notably the Montecristo Open Eagle and the Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan. The cigar “a generous and elegant Habano with subtle and medium-bodied notes.”

Montecristo Dantes LE 2016

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 Sublimes LE 2008 is an exceptionally smooth for this aged Limited Edition. Rare cigar to get to and highly sought after among Cigar Aficionados.
