Regional Editions

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: 4 3/4 inches
Ring Gauge: 54

This Cigar is the same size as the H. Upmann Magnum 54

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.

The Cigar

Description

Bolivar Silver Jubilee 2017 RE Hong Kong is part of only 2,500 numbered cabinets. An incredible cigar that is perfect to smoke on a sunny evening.

The Bolívar is a rather peculiar vitola because it has a 109-style cap, which is a hybrid between a normal round parejo and a tapered belicoso. Rather than coming to a point, the 109-style caps create a softer taper. It’s a cap that Habanos S.A. has typically used on much larger cigars and thanks to increasing popularity, many non-Cuban manufacturers have used it on other sizes.

Vitola: Robustos Extras.

Size: 5 11/20 Inches

Ring: Gauge: 50

La Gloria Cubana Glorias RE 5th Avenue 2015

The Cigar

For its 2015 Edición Regional release, German distributor 5th Avenue Products Trading GmbH,  decided to go big, selecting the La Gloria Cubana brand and a sizable 7 1/16 x 54 double pyramid vitola known as the Rodolfo.

As we have described before Habanos S.A.’s Edición Regional program brings sizes and marcas together to places where certain brands aren’t as common. While the La Gloria Cubana brand seems to be fairly known, the size picked for this release is definitely the rarer of the two components.

La Gloria Cubana Glorias RE 5th Avenue 2015 was selected by Habanos for sale exclusively in Germany. There have only been 6,000 boxes made. A rare find.

With a length of 5 7/8 inches and a ring calibre of 54, the Diplomaticos Reserva Exclusiva is a size known as geniales in Cuban cigar factories, the same muscular format as more common Cuban cigars like the H. Upmann Connossieur B or the Montecristo Open Eagle.

Ring Gauge: 54
Cigar Length: 150 mm 5 7/8 inches

At 6 1/8 inches long by 50 ring gauge, Podium is the same size as the Trinidad Robusto Extra (only without the pigtail) and referred to as Dobles in Cuban cigar factories.

Like all Regional Edition cigars, there’s a second band beneath the primary band indicating its exclusive territory. But unlike many Regionals, the Podium is fitted with a foot band. Also of note is the ribbon holding together the cigars. Typically, that ribbon is yellow. For this release, it’s rendered in the colors of France’s flag. 

The Podiums represent the first time that a French Regional Edition has been offered in the La Gloria Cubana brand. They are packaged in 10-count boxes. Only 4,000 boxes will be produced.
