Limited Edition and Regional Specialities of Cuban Cigars 2001-2010
The " Edicion Limitada " originally made its appearance in 2001 with the launch of the Partagas Piramides - still regarded by some as one of the best cigars to date. Characterized by a specially prepared and aged dark Maduro wrapper the cigars sported a unique gold and black band with the year of production. The distinctive wrapper leaf for these cigars receives an additional mini fermentation for a period up to 25 days at higher than normal temperatures to achieve the unique dark, marbled texture. This additional fermentation also serves to impart approximately 10% more strength to the cigar as indicated by the "toasted" taste of the tobacco.
Also since 2004, Habanos SA has released Regional Specialities in a growing number of specific territories Worldwide. These essentially "regional" brands are only gleamed from the "second" tier of Habanos brands such as Punch, Bolivar, Juan Lopez and Ramon Allones etc. and are now released on an annual basis.
The Regional Edition cigars are special limited-production cigars (between 1- 2,000 numbered boxes only) that appeal to aficionados and connoisseurs looking for something unusual.
LIMITED EDITIONS 2010
The Montecristo "Grand Edmundo" (Ring gauge 52 x 5.72' in the length). This brand is featured within the 2010 Limited Edition range and arrives in Montecristo's 75th Anniversary year following the no less significant "Sublimes" back in 2008. As one of the most popular global brands this cigar is destined to have wide appeal given the success of the Edmundo series in recent years and its size. The vitola de galera is a "Canonazo" or canon - previously exclusive to the Cohiba Siglo VI. The cigars come packaged in wooden boxes of 10 cigars only.
The Partagas "Serie D Especial " (Ring Gauge 50 x 5.5' in the length) is what is known as a "Gordito". Initial impressions of this medium to large cigar are very favourable and likely not to disappoint Partagas fans who enjoy the rich, earthy almost peppery flavour and aroma one has come to associate with Partagas.
If you enjoyed the small and perfectly formed Serie D5 back in 2008 then you are sure to appreciate this medium to full flavoured cigar which marks a return to the original format of the pre-war Partagas Serie D No.3. Available in boxes of just 10 cigars however.
The Trinidad "Short T" (Ring Gauge 50 x 4.0' in the length) or "Short del Valle" will delight the senses of true Habanos lovers. This tres petit robusto offers a smooth, subtle. refined smoke with fautless construction and combustion. Try smoking the entire cigar reducing it to just one, solid continuous piece of ash. I reached the second band without a problem when smoking the cigar for the first time. Maybe we can start a competition with a new Short Robusto for the winner ? Available in attractive flat varnished boxes of just 12 cigars. A real class act and worth the rather steep purchase price.
