Cuban Cigars

The Hoyo de Monterrey Primavera celebrates the 2021 Chinese New Year and is available in very limited quantities. It is only the second time a cigar has been released by Habanos s.a. to commemorate the festivities and follows the popular Romeo y Julieta Maravillas 8 in 2020 (Year of the Rat).

Each of the 18 cigars presented in the stunning commemorative wooden lacquered boxes are dressed with a unique foot band which are branded “Year of the Ox”. The cigars measure
6 5/8” (167mm) x 48 ring gauge and the size is referred to as a Hermosos No.1 in the factories of Cuba. Only 8,888 numbered boxes will be produced for global release by Habanos s.a.

Hoyo de Monterrey is a light bodied Habanos brand named after a plantation in San Juan y Martínez in the heart of Vuelta Abajo. It remains one of the most famous Vegas de Primera to this day (first class tobacco fields) where somewhat fittingly for this cigar is still ploughed by oxen to this day so as not to compact the top-soil.

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.

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.

San Cristobal Mercaderes LCDH provides a medium to full-bodied smoke, with woody, toasty flavours and a sweet finish. Very unique flavours in your mouth.

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
