Limited Edition

Habanos, S.A. is presenting the Trinidad Robustos Extra (50 ring gauge x 155 mm length) travel humidor, designed for the Duty Free and Travel Retail channels.

This launch has been showcased during the Virtual Travel Retail Expo 2020, planned by Moodie Davitt Report and held from October 12th to 16th, 2020, which is being organised as a virtual event for the first time in its history.

The Trinidad Robustos Extra Travel Humidor – containing 14 Habanos – is elegant and practical, and is specially designed to be the perfect travel accessory for the Habanos enthusiasts. In addition, the Humidor complements the unique Trinidad flavour, sought after by smokers who prefer a medium-strength blend and heavy ring gauge Habanos.

The wrapper, filler and binder leaves specially selected for Trinidad Robustos Extra come from the renowned area of Vuelta Abajo * in the Pinar del Río * region, Cuba*. These Habanos have been made “ Totalmente a Mano con Tripa Larga “- Totally Handmade with Long Filler- by expert Cuban torcedores – cigar rollers-, thus achieving the distinctive aroma and quality of these Habanos.

long with more than 70 companies from around the world, Habanos, S.A. is present at the Virtual Travel Retail Expo 2020 with a virtual stand in the tobacco pavilion under the Gold category. Where, in addition to Trinidad’s Robustos Extra Travel Humidor, undoubtedly one of the most anticipated launches, other prestigious Habanos products are also being exhibited. Highlights include the new Romeo y Julieta Línea de Oro, the most premium of the brand, with three new vitolas, Dianas, Nobles and Hidalgos. As well as the H. Upmann Magnum 56 Jar, a product that was released last year at the Cannes Fair and is now available to enthusiasts of what is considered to be the finest tobacco in the world.

It should not be forgotten that the Trinidad name is a tribute to the town established in Cuba in 1514, called Santísima Trinidad, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988. Trinidad’s origins as a Habanos brand date back to 1969; as with the Cohiba brand it was only used for many years as a state gift for high-ranking foreign dignitaries. It was in 1998 that this brand was finally made available to smokers around the world, but in very limited quantities.

Beginning in 2019 with the Romeo y Julieta Maravillas No.8 (Year of the Rat), the Cohiba Siglo de Oro is the fourth release from Habanos s.a. to commemorate a Chinese lunar New Year (see attached).  

The Siglo de Oro measures 4 ½” (115mm) x 54 ring gauge and is an entirely new size within the Habanos portfolio (Vitola de Galera is Exitosos or “successful” in English). Only 18,888 boxes of 18 cigars have been produced with each box housing a scannable chip secured to the inner lid allowing for instant authentication and information. Each cigar is dressed with the standard Cohiba band and a foot-band denoting the “

It measures 6 1/8 (157mm) x 48, a size known as the Hermosos No.2, that is not part of the brand’s regular production offerings and has only been used for Edición Limitada and is offered in 25 count boxes.

The Cigar

The Hoyo de Monterrey Monterreyes No.4 joins the impressive list of previous vitolas selected to represent the brand for the prestigious Habanos Edición Limitada series. The last one was ten years ago in 2013 when the Grand Epicure was released, a cigar that still has an ardent following today and one that always attracts eye catching prices at auction.

Delayed from 2021, the Monterreyes No.4 is a Maravillas No.4 size 5 3⁄4” (145mm) x 55 ring gauge and is entirely new to the Habanos portfolio.

As with all Edición Limitadas since 2007, the tobacco used to make this cigar has been aged for a minimum of two years. This helps to create a more rounded and approachable flavour profile. The darker wrapper also provides a hint of sweetness that works exceptionally well with Hoyo de Monterrey’s distinct light flavoured blend.

These cigars are presented in a varnished Slide Lid Box of ten and have been made entirely by hand using long filler tobaccos sourced from Vuelta Abajo in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba.

Cohiba Ideales Limited Edition Book

This 2021 edition of Coleccion Habanos follows the 2020 H.Upmann Super Magnum Collecion Habanos. Cohiba Ideales is the largest of the three Cohiba releases, measuring 6 7/8’’ / 175mm with a 56 RG. This is the first time cigars of this size have been made at the Modernas factory and they are further distinguished by two additional bands: the Coleccion Habanos and a special Cohiba 55th Anniversary band. Each box of 20 cigars, out of 3000 produced, is uniquely numbered and luxuriously presented.

Description

From an open humidor of 20

The special Cohiba 50 Aniversario logo, designed to capture the brand’s different initiatives in 2016, stands out on the gleaming black lacquer cover of this case-humidor. Inside the cover, a small badge accredits the number within the exclusive production of 1,966 pieces making up the series.

The vitola Cohiba Majestuosos 1966 has special dimensions that are not repeated neither in any other Cohiba product nor in the standard range of sizes of Habanos.

This is a very special product for enthusiasts both of the Cohiba brand as well as Habanos in general due to its new format, heavy ring gauge, and exquisite full strength blend, which has been created for smokers who like complex intense flavours.
