LCDH & Specialist Lines

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the La Casa del Habano franchise, and Habanos S.A. has announced an exclusive cigar for the worldwide network of Cuban cigar retailers.

The Juan Lopez Selección Especial measures 6 7/10 inches long (170mm) with a 52 ring gauge, a double robusto vitola known as the Fortunas.

The Bolívar Gold Medal will be returning to La Casa del Habano (LCDH) stores around the world, but it won’t be the same Bolívar Gold Medal as before.

Habanos S.A. has announced that the Bolívar New Gold Medal will be available exclusively to LCDH stores. It’s a size known as the Partagás 15, 6 1/2 (165mm) x 48. That’s the same length as the original Gold Medal, but the ring gauge has increased from 42 ring gauge.

Like the previous Gold Medal, the cigar is covered in golden foil that begins at the top of the cigar and the Bolívar band is placed over the foil at the bottom of the foil. A red LCDH band is placed below that. It will be offered in 10-count boxes.

Name: New Gold Medal
Factory name: Partagas 15
Dimensions: 6 ½” (165mm) x 48 ring gauge
Presentation: Labelled box of 10 cigars

The Partagás Aliados measures 6 5/8” (167mm) x 45 ring gauge and is presented in a beautifully crafted, clear lacquered wooden box containing 20 cigars that are each dressed with two bands. The first is the classic Partagas band while the second denotes the exclusive availability of this vitola (size) through the global network of La Casa del Habanos and Havana Cigar Specialist shops, the cornerstone for Habanos in most markets.

The Aliados is a unique vitola in the Habanos portfolio and is known as a Delirios in the cigar factories of Cuba. The taste of Partagas is immediately recognisable with rich, earthy notes delivered the moment this distinct Habano is fired into life. The character of the blend springs from a selection of filler and binder tobaccos grown in the Vuelta Abajo zone and

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.
