The Ramon Allones Phoenicio 40 is a cigar released to celebrate the 40^th anniversary of the Phoenicio Trading, one of the biggest Habanos distributors. The cigar, presented last year at a virtual event that happened simultaneously with some tasting in some countries around the globe, was first available in a limited series of humidors.

The other item is a special guarantee seal, decorated with shiny silver foil, embossed spots, and invisible black-light ink.

These additions will be very helpful for customers interested in these releases since some Ramon Allones Phoenicio 40 Exclusivo Libano fake boxes have been already been spotted in some markets.

The Diplomaticos Bushido Cigar is a Regional Edition Cuban Cigar from the Asia Pacific area of the world. The Diplomaticos Bushido measures 7 1/4 inches by 50 Ring gauge. Its vitola is known as the ’109’, famous for its tapered head similar to that of a piramide but more rounded at the top. An almost totally forgotten Vitola amongst modern Cuban cigars.

The Bushido really is extra special because it was produced to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the first Japanese citizen visiting Cuba! The citizen was of course a Samurai (Bushido could translate to “the way of the Samurai”) and this message can be seen through the carefully crafted Cigar stick but also its outer packaging. Single sticks at No6 Cavendish.

Sancho Panza ΟΜΗΡΟΣ Regional Edition Greece & Cyprus 

The Cigar

This Cigar is made exclusively for Greece & Cyprus. Presented in Boxes of 10k, only 5000 numbered boxes have been made. 

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.
