The " Edicion Limitada " originally made its appearance in 2001 with the launch of the Partagas Piramides - still regarded by some as one of the best cigars to date.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.
The entire process is very much an ongoing experiment conducted by agronomists within TabaCuba - the agricultural production division responsible for the cultivation of tobacco leaf in Cuba. Each year since 2001 Limited Edition cigars have been produced in selected marques and vitolas. Once these prestigious and rare cigars have been distributed and sold Worldwide they pass into the annals of cigar history. Inevitably the more popular cigars specially created within this format will appreciate in value by virtue of scarcity alone.
For 2007 we have been treated to a Romeo Escudos and Hoyo de Monterrey Regalos thus far and the final cigar - a Trinidad Ingenios in boxes of 12 - will arrive sometime in November. This cigar is essentially a Cervantes or Lonsdale size with the characteristic pig tail cap that sets Trinidad cigars apart from other marques.
As usual we will offer all these cigars as single cigars and in a Limited Edition 2006 Selection Sampler in order that you may appreciate them prior to purchasing an entire box. But do not wait to long before placing your orders as stocks of the Piramides in particular are limited.
Por Larrañaga Magnifico. U.K. Regional Speciality for 2007 / Box of 25 NEW !
Ref: 0999
6.75" Ring Gauge: 50
For many aficionados this cigar is a real treat having been made exclusively for the U.K.market and available in only 1400 numbered boxes. The "Magnifico" echoes the once renowned " Magnum" - a holy grail for cigar enthusiasts in the 60's and 70's.
Despite its provenance this is a relatively mild cigar which has been well made and constructed. I quite liked the size and fragrance but didn't care for the dry and rather bitter after-taste due to its comparative lack of age which should diminish with time.

Ref: 0997

It has a typically, rich earthy aroma and plenty of flavour for a cigar which will undoubtedly develop further with age. But with production limited to just 600 numbered boxes we recommend you take this opportunity to smoke / sample it whilst stocks last."

The tobacco leaves for these cigars including wrapper, binder and filler have been specially aged in bales for a minimum of 2 years. Sold in an attractive slide lid wooden boxes the cigar is a small corona gorda in length. It is too early to say what character the new cigar may have but if it is as good as the previous Epicure Especiales from 2004 we are in for a treat !
Well-made, medium-strength cigar appropriate for any time of day, the Obus was a delight to smoke. A good draw and an attractive wrapper was matched by a fresh, delicate, woody taste. Its distinctive floral aroma seduced me immediately. Rolled only last August, it may be a trifle early to judge its true quality but already I am marking this particular cigar as one that can only improve.
