Cuban Cigars

The Quai d’Orsay Senadores has arrived in the UK and is now available at Havana Cigar Specialists and selected hotels, restaurants, bars and clubs.

It is the third and final of the 2019 Limited Editions joining the Montecristo Supremos and the Ramón Allones Allones No.2, both of which were launched earlier in the year.

Quai d’Orsay was originally created in the 1970s for the French market and is named after an avenue in Paris where SEITA, the former French tobacco monopoly, was located.

In 2017, Habanos SA revisited the brand, invigorating it with two new contemporary sizes (the No.50 and No.54) presented in newly designed packaging and adorned with sleek new bands.  Then in 2019 Quai D’Orsay was invited to create one of the three Limited Editions for the year. This is the first time that the brand has been asked to make a Limited Edition and further recognition of its new standing within the Habanos portfolio.

The Senadores is a classic Hermoso No.2 size, measuring 6 1/8” (157mm) x 48 ring gauge and they are presented in Special Presentation Boxes (SPB’s) of 25 cigars.

This elegant, light-bodied cigar provides a charming counterpoint to the Montecristo Supremos and Ramón Allones Allones No.2.

El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme

The Cigar

Once the definitive size of El Rey, this heavy girth vitola is sadly 50 cabinet no longer made in Cuba. A few remain in the UK in both 25s and Cabinet Selection 50s. Collectors’ items.

Flavour: Light to Medium
Vitola: Hermoso No.4
Ring Gauge: 48
Length: 5 Inches - 127 Mm

H.Upmann Connossieur No.1

The Cigar

Virtually a robusto, but slightly thinner and longer, this cigar merits the title ‘connoisseur’ for its delicate light flavour, great balance and elegant aroma. Once presented without a band, now it sports Upmann’s distinctive red and gold colours.

Hoyo De Monterrey Hermosos No.4 Anejados

The Cigar:

Close in size to the ever-popular Epicure No.2, this is an enjoyable alternative for fans of the Hoyo Brand and all lovers of lighter blends

Romeo y Julieta Exhibition No.4

The Cigar

This was the nearest cigar to a robusto in Romeo’s range for a long time; slightly thinner (48 ring gauge) but longer (5 inches). Don’t forget that it also comes in wonderful cabinet selection bundles of 50 cigars.

VITOLA: Hermoso No.4
RING GAUGE: 48
LENGTH: 5 inches - 127 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium

Vegas Robaina Famosos

The Cigar 

A sturdy shape, a shade longer yet slightly thinner than a robusto, that draws well. It is considered by many to be the brand’s outstanding vitola.

VITOLA: Hermoso No.4
RING GAUGE: 48
LENGTH: 5inches - 127 mm
FLAVOUR: Medium to Full

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.

Montecristo Dantes LE 2016

The Cigar

A marked difference in shape from recent Limited Editions from Montecristo and, although it still has a ring gauge of 48, it has a decidedly slender feel to it. Nonetheless, all of the peppery tang associated with the brand very much remain in place.

Montecristo Dantes LE 2016 is made from high quality, limited tobacco leaves that is known for its beautiful and complex flavours. Aged 2 years to reach full potential.

Length: 6 1/2 Inches

Ring Gauge: 48

Vitola: Hermosos No.1

Partagas Serie C No.3 LE 2012 has had the benefit of a few years maturation and has settled down to creat a robust, spicy and earthy smoke with a smooth draw.
