  • Brand: Bolivar
  • Year: 2020
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Campana
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm

  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 ⅞ Inches / 148mm

Británicas Extra

  • Year: 2017
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Británicas Extra
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 5 ⅜ Inches / 137mm
  • Inspired by the incredible success of the 2011 UK Regional Edition, the Bolivar Británicas Extra, this medium-bodied perfecto was not released until 2020. Thankfully it was well worth the wait for this long anticipated release. The bands that dress the cigar are faithful recreations of the type used during the late 1890's or early part of the 20th century, helping this cigar to look as good as it tastes.

  • As rich and full-bodied a Julieta No.2 (Churchill) size as you will find. These SLB boxes of 50 cigars were discontinued in 2010, with the boxes of 25 following suit in 2017.

  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 157mm

  • Ring gauge: 47
  • Length: 7 Inches / 178mm

  • Flavour: Light
  • Vitola: Laguito No.2
  • Ring gauge: 38
  • Length: 6 Inches / 152mm
  • A little known doppelgänger for the Cohiba Coronas Especiales with a similar, but lighter style. 20 years maturing in perfect conditions of temperature and humidity has allowed the full elegance of this cigar to be revealed.

  • Vitola: Petit Pirámide
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 5 Inches / 127mm

  • Vitola: Corona Gorda
  • Ring gauge: 46
  • Length: 5 ⅝ Inches / 143mm
  • Boxed in Havana in 2009, a year before the size was discontinued, this classic Corona Gorda has a freshness that belies its age. Light, elegant and larger than any of the current Rafael González, this is a real joy for fans of the blend. Although perhaps not the most modish of brands today, this remains a startlingly good Havana for those who enjoy a lighter style of Havanas.

  • Year: 1996

  • Ring gauge: 46
  • Length: 5 ⅝ Inches / 143mm
  • Corona Gordas have traditionally been a signature size for the Punch brand, with several versions, each with a different name or blend, being produced over the years. However, it is the Punch Punch which has survived the test of time and now stands alone in the current range. A classic medium-bodied Havana which has kept British cigar smokers satisfied for over five decades, these cigars are from 1996.
Topes

Topes

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Topes
  • Ring gauge: 56
  • Length: 5 Inches / 125mm
  • A welcome return for the extremely popular 2016 Limited Edition, but this time as a permanent addition to the classic range. A stout yet subtle and nuanced cigar brimming with Trinidad charm. Well worth looking out for.
Mille Fleur

Mille Fleur

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Mareva
  • Ring gauge: 42
  • Length: 5 ⅛ Inches / 129mm
  • The name translates from French into English as “thousand flowers” and, as you might expect, it is a cigar with a generously floral bouquet. The same dimensions as the more ubiquitous Petit Corona, this cigar has also been handmade and long-filler since its relaunch in 2002.

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Dalias
  • Ring gauge: 43
  • Length: 6 ¾ Inches / 170mm
  • Named after its smart presentation, this well made cigar more than lives up its surroundings. Sadly discontinued today, for many years it was compared to Cuba’s other full flavoured Dalias, the Partagas 8-9-8. A wonderful old cigar with an even longer legacy.

  • Brand: Ramón Allones
  • Year: 2000 / 2001

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Prominente
  • Ring gauge: 49
  • Length: 7 ⅝ Inches / 194mm
  • Although not as well known as the Partagas Lusitania the Gigantes is just as powerful and rewarding a Prominente as its more famous cousin.

Media Luna

Media Luna

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Marinas

Connossieur No.2

  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Bohemios
  • Ring gauge: 51
  • Length: 5 ¼ Inches / 134mm

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Hermoso No.2
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 157mm
  • 2004 was a vintage year for Ediciónes Limitadas. The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial and Cohiba Sublimes were released alongside the Romeo y Julieta Hermosos No.2. It has perhaps not received the same attention as the others, but this is a spectacular cigar in its own right and one that showcases the very best of Cuban tobacco.

  • Year: 2015

  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 141mm

Tacos

Tacos

  • Year: 2018
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Tacos Imperiales
  • Ring gauge: 49
  • Length: 6 ⅝ Inches / 168mm
  • The Tacos represents the 9th occasion that the Romeo y Julieta brand has been selected to be part of these prestigious and highly sought-after series of cigars. With the same ring gauge as a Double Corona but measuring an inch shorter this extremely rare size offers over an hour of rich and well-rounded, medium-bodied smoking.
Soberano

Soberano

  • Year: 2018
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Duke
  • Ring gauge: 54
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm
  • The Duke vitola (size) was first made famous by the R&J Duke from 2009 but is perhaps best known as the format of the Partagas Serie E No.2. This is just the second time that Bolivar has been selected to produce a Limited Edition and has proved very popular with lovers of full flavoured Havanas.
Regios

Regios

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Hermoso No.4
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 5 Inches / 127mm

Montecarlos

  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Deliciosos
  • Ring gauge: 33
  • Length: 6 ¼ Inches / 159mm

Maltes

Maltes

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Sobresalientes
  • Ring gauge: 53
  • Length: 6 Inches / 153mm
  • This rare size is known as a 'Sobresalientes' within the factories of Cuba, a word which translates as 'Outstanding' in English, and it's easy to see why. Big and bold, but also subtle and nuanced with a lightness of touch that surprises many people the first time they light one up.
Leyenda

Leyenda

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Maravillas No 2
  • Ring gauge: 55
  • Length: 6 ½ Inches / 165mm
  • The largest of the three cigars that comprise Montecristo's new Linea 1935, the Leyanda delivers an abundance of rich, flavoursome smoke over the course of the hour and a half or so it takes to enjoy. Not a cigar to be hurried and perhaps best enjoyed after a hearty meal.
Corona Claro

Corona Claro

  • Flavour: Light
  • Vitola: Corona
  • Ring gauge: 42

  • Vitola: Cervantes
  • Ring gauge: 42
  • Length: 6 ½ Inches / 165mm

  • Year: 2018
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Robusto
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 ⅞ Inches / 124mm
  • This classic vitola (shape) from the most prestigious Habanos brand is, for many smokers, the pinnacle of modern cigar-making in Cuba. Medium to Full bodied but the extra bale-aged tobaccos impart a depth and elegance that will draw you in and capture your attention for every minute of the half hour or so it takes to enjoy. A difficult to find but glorious cigar.
Epicure No.2

Epicure No.2

  • Brand: Hoyo de Monterrey
  • Year: 2016
  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Robusto
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 ⅞ Inches / 124mm
  • For many people the Epicure No.2 is a long-established favourite and a popular ‘turn to’ cigar. So it is perhaps a little surprising it has taken so long to see the first Hoyo Reserva. On the evidence so far from its delayed appearance in 2018, it has been well worth the wait.
No.2

No.2

  • Brand: H. Upmann
  • Year: 2014
  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Pirámide
  • Ring gauge: 52

  • Ring gauge: 47
  • Length: 7 Inches / 178mm

  • Year: 2007
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Mareva
  • Ring gauge: 42
  • Length: 5 ⅛ Inches / 129mm

Serie D No.4

Serie D No.4

  • Brand: Partagás
  • Year: 2005
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Robusto
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 ⅞ Inches / 124mm
  • The power and intensity is still in abundance but the extra aged tobaccos used in this cigar provide a rare smoothness and subtlety to the smoke. An iron fist in a velvet glove.
Espléndido

Espléndido

  • Brand: Cohiba
  • Year: 2003
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Julieta No.2
  • Ring gauge: 47
  • Length: 7 Inches / 178mm
  • For many years the Cohiba Espledido was the epitome of ebullience and luxury. Although modern tastes for cigar shapes may not regularly include Cohiba’s Churchill sized offering, there is no doubt that this regal cigar is still an enthralling hour and a half spent in the company of one of Cuba’s finest. From the very top draw.
Pirámide

Pirámide

  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Pirámide
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 156mm

  • Brand: Cohiba
  • Year: 2003
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Laguito No.2
  • Ring gauge: 38
  • Length: 6 Inches / 152mm
  • One of the original sizes of Cohibas that were launched in 1982, it is perhaps sometimes overshadowed by some of the newer and larger format cigars within the range. However, this slender and elegant looking cigar has enough power and depth to capture the attention of any cigar smoker. A cigar with the well-earned status of classic.
Royal Corona

Royal Corona

  • Flavour: Full

  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 ⅞ Inches / 124mm

  • Vitola: Sublimes No.1
  • Ring gauge: 54
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 154mm
  • Launched at the Corinthia hotel, London the Talisman was one of the fastest selling Limited Editions since the launch of the concept in 2000. Already spoken about as a classic cigar and one that seems sure to increase in value over time. A powerhouse of rich and complex aromas.

Tubos No.2

  • Flavour: Full

  • Ring gauge: 42
  • Length: 5 ⅛ Inches / 129mm

  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Julieta No.2
  • Ring gauge: 47

No.2

No.2

  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Pirámide
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 156mm
  • A classic Pirámide that has lived for many years, undeservedly, in the shadow of its better known half-brother the Montecristo No.2. Less punchy in taste, but distinctly aromatic with all the burning qualities that the shape bestows.

Magnum 50

  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Magnum 50
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 6 ¼ Inches / 161mm

  • Ring gauge: 46
  • Length: 5 ⅝ Inches / 143mm

Majestic

Majestic

  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Crema
  • Ring gauge: 40
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm
  • An inexpensive cigar for its size, the Majestic projects an image well above its price bracket. The taste is somewhat more intense than many Upmanns, but if you know what you are buying, you will be rewarded.
Coronas Major

Coronas Major

  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Eminente
  • Ring gauge: 42
  • Length: 5 ⅛ Inches / 132mm
  • H. Upmann was the first brand anywhere in the world to introduce the cedar lined aluminium tube for cigars. This was not the first size to be tubed, but it has been on the UK market since 1937, so it has passed muster with many smokers.
Connoisseur No.1

Connoisseur No.1

  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Hermoso No.4
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 5 Inches / 127mm

Connoisseur A

Connoisseur A

  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Genios
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm

  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Coronita
  • Ring gauge: 40
  • Length: 4 ⅝ Inches / 117mm
  • Another 1937 introduction. A short smoke with a decent ring gauge that offers you H. Upmann’s quality and taste when time is at a premium. A reliable size for over 70 years.

Coronas J

  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Cadete
  • Ring gauge: 36
  • Length: 4 ½ Inches / 115mm
  • Formerly known as the H. Upmann Petit Upmann, this small cigar has the distinction of being the one that President Kennedy bought heavily just before he signed the US/Cuban trade embargo. A great cigar for beginners with a presidential pedigree to boot.
Half Corona

Half Corona

  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Half Corona
  • Ring gauge: 44
  • Length: 3 ½ Inches / 90mm
  • The first 3 1/2 inch (90mm) Havana to be introduced since the Second World War. Its forebear, called the Half-a-Corona, was in its day the best selling Havana size by far.
Robusto (Añejados)

Robusto (Añejados)

  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Robusto
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 ⅞ Inches / 124mm

  • Length: 7 Inches / 178mm
Lusitania

Lusitania

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Prominente
  • Ring gauge: 49
  • Length: 7 ⅝ Inches / 194mm
  • A star size if ever there was one. There are few sights in the cigar world to match a Cabinet Selection bundle of 50 Lusitanias. Happily they come in smaller quantities too.
Double Corona

Double Corona

  • Flavour: Light
  • Vitola: Prominente
  • Ring gauge: 49
  • Length: 7 ⅝ Inches / 194mm
  • A mighty cigar with a surprisingly subtle and creamy flavour. It rocketed to stardom when the second issue of Cigar Aficionado rated a late ‘80s example 99 out of 100. Still a cigar to be reckoned with.
Regios de Punch

Regios de Punch

  • Year: 2017
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Hermoso Especial
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 4 ¾ Inches / 120mm

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Nobleza
  • Ring gauge: 52

  • Year: 2016
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Hermoso No.1
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 6 ⅝ Inches / 167mm
  • 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.
Capuleto

Capuleto

  • Year: 2016
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Sobresalientes
  • Ring gauge: 53
  • Length: 6 Inches / 153mm
  • Fittingly launched in Verona, Italy, the setting of Shakespeare’s tragic play which inspired the brand’s name back in 1875. The Capuleto is a sweet, refined and delicate medium bodied cigar. Named after Juliet’s surname (Capulet), it is an easy cigar to fall in love with.
Churchill

Churchill

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Julieta No.2
  • Ring gauge: 47
  • Length: 7 Inches / 178mm
  • Romeo’s time honoured star size. The vitola dates from the early 20th century. Churchill permitted his name to be used on it from the mid 1950s. Imposing, statesmanlike; a commanding size that rewards the smoker with richly developing flavours.

  • Year: 2016
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Topes
  • Ring gauge: 56
  • Length: 5 Inches / 125mm

  • Year: 2003
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Media Corona
  • Ring gauge: 38
  • Length: 5 ⅝ Inches / 142mm
  • Although the name had been used before, and has been used since, this size is unique which makes the smallest cigar of the collection one of the most interesting to many collectors. A spicy little treat. Medium to full.
Club Allones

Club Allones

  • Year: 2015
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Club Allones
  • Ring gauge: 47
  • Length: 5 ⅜ Inches / 135mm
  • A toothsome yet also somewhat rustic cigar, the Club Allones has its bold, full-flavoured blend expertly tempered by the bitter-sweet wrapper. It is also adorned with a specially created second band bearing the name of the cigar.
80 Aniversario

80 Aniversario

  • Year: 2015
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: 80 Aniversario
  • Ring gauge: 55
  • Length: 6 ½ Inches / 165mm
  • Not strictly a Limited Edition as the tobaccos are not aged in the same way, the cigars are not dressed with maduro wrappers and they are not adorned with the second band. Nonetheless it is a fantastic cigar and a great way to mark the 80th anniversary of the world’s most popular Havana brand. This cigar is already a collector’s item and is, unusually, presented in boxes of 20.
No.2

No.2

  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Pirámide
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 156mm
  • If ever one brand has come to dominate a particular vitola, this is it. The classic Pirámide or ‘torpedo’ size. Easy burning with a controlled release of faithful Montecristo flavours; many devotees look no further than this.
Selección Privada

Selección Privada

  • Year: 2014
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Magnum 50
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 6 ¼ Inches / 161mm

Petit Corona

Petit Corona

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Mareva
  • Ring gauge: 42
  • Length: 5 ⅛ Inches / 129mm

Grand Epicure

Grand Epicure

  • Year: 2013
  • Flavour: Light
  • Vitola: Montesco
  • Ring gauge: 55
  • Length: 5 ¼ Inches / 130mm
  • Sharing its size with the instantly popular Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill, it came as no surprise that the Grand Epicure quickly acquired a large and committed set of admirers. A charming cigar presented in SLB boxes of ten and dressed in a special band with “Grand Epicure” printed under the main logo.
Serie d’Oro No.2

Serie d’Oro No.2

  • Year: 2013
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Campana
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm
  • The wide girth of the Serie D’Oro No. 2, combined with the tapered end of this “Campana” sized cigar creates the ideal foil for the clear and distinguished “woody” Punch taste. This then helps to reveal some of the more robust aspects of the brand that are often overlooked.
520

520

  • Year: 2012
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Maravillas No.3
  • Ring gauge: 55
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 155mm
  • This was an entirely new size within the Habanos portfolio and was created to commemorate the 520th anniversary of the arrival of the Habano in Europe following Christopher Columbus’s discovery of Cuba in 1492. Montecristo was a fitting brand to choose given that it was and still is the best selling premium cigar brand today.
Robusto

Robusto

  • Brand: Cohiba
  • Year: 2003
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Robusto
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 ⅞ Inches / 124mm
  • This squat cigar, measuring just under 5 inches, can surprise people with the intensity of its flavour. Made using the Linea Classica blend of leaves, to a medium full flavour profile, the Robusto Reserva is a wonderfully constructed cigar that has maintained its consistency over the years.
Allones Extra

Allones Extra

  • Year: 2011
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Franciscos
  • Ring gauge: 44
  • Length: 5 ⅝ Inches / 143mm
  • The first outing for Ramon Allones as a Limited Edition which delivered a powerful and hearty reminder as to why the brand is such a firm favourite among connoisseurs of full flavoured blends. Best enjoyed after a good meal.
Short Robusto T

Short Robusto T

  • Year: 2010
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Short Del Valle
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 Inches / 102mm
  • A delicious, elegant little cigar ideally suited for late morning or early afternoon. However, not too many of these little treats were made, so snap them up if you get the chance.
Serie D Especial

Serie D Especial

  • Year: 2010
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Gordito
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 141mm
  • The Especial packed a serious punch when it was first launched in the UK with many early smokers noting a potential for long term ageing. The power will have somewhat rounded and mellowed over the years but there is still plenty of rich aromas left in the blend. It will continue to develop for many years to come
Grand Edmundo

Grand Edmundo

  • Year: 2010
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Cañonazo
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 ⅞ Inches / 150mm
  • Sharing its dimensions with the iconic Cohiba Siglo VI, this cigar is known as a Cañonazo in the factories of Cuba, which translates into English as “canon shot”. Light one up and find out why.
Pirámide

Pirámide

  • Year: 2008
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Pirámide
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 156mm
  • The first and so far only time that Cuaba has been selected to produce a Limited Edition and, in a move that surprised many, the first time a Cuaba was produced that was not in the double figurado shape. A collectors idem for sure.
C

C

  • Year: 2003
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Corona Gorda
  • Ring gauge: 46
  • Length: 5 ⅝ Inches / 143mm
  • A wonderful medium to full bodied Corona Gorda packed full of classic Montecristo taste. The cigar was released in Cabinet Boîte Nature boxes of 25 and is remembered fondly by all those lucky enough to have smoked them at the time.
Particulares

Particulares

  • Year: 2001
  • Flavour: Light
  • Vitola: Gran Corona
  • Ring gauge: 47
  • Length: 9 ¼ Inches / 235mm
  • The only one of the original releases to be remade and released. However, telling the two releases apart is straightforward enough as the 2001 editions include the date on the second ‘Edicion Limitada’ band. All Limited Editions from this point onward carry the date on this second band.
Robusto

Robusto

  • Year: 2006
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Robusto
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 ⅞ Inches / 124mm
  • This is a remaking of one of the original Limited Editions from 2000. Full of ‘tangy’ Montecristo flavour in what has become the World’s most popular Havana cigar size. In 2009 the Montecristo Robusto was revisited once again when the lighter styled Montecristo Open Master was introduced to the standard portfolio.
Robusto

Robusto

  • Year: 2012
  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Robusto
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 ⅞ Inches / 124mm
  • An elegant and subtle Robusto with all of the characteristic Light to Medium flavours associated with the Upmann brand. Presented in labelled boxes of 25 cigars, something of a rarity since 2009.
Pirámide

Pirámide

  • Year: 2000
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Pirámide
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 156mm
  • The classic Pirámides shape delivers rich, full bodied Partagas flavour, a popular combination upon its release. The vitola was later revived in 2005 with the introduction of the Serie P No.2 to the classic range of the brand.
Belicosos Finos

Belicosos Finos

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Campana
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm
  • A rich, deep earthy Belicosos that comes in Cabinet Selection bundles of 25 as well as standard labelled boxes. A great choice to follow a spicy meal.
Epicure Especial

Epicure Especial

  • Year: 2004
  • Flavour: Light
  • Vitola: Gordito
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 141mm
  • One of the few Limited Editions to go on to be introduced to the standard range, albeit not as a Limited Edition when it was added in 2008. A mellow, easy-going, light flavoured cigar.
Robusto

Robusto

  • Year: 2000
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Robusto
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 ⅞ Inches / 124mm
  • The most popular brand meets the most popular size of the time and creates an all-time classic. As with all of the 2000 releases this cigar was adorned with a second band bearing the words “Edicion Limitada”. It was not until 2001 that the year of release was added.
Magnum 50

Magnum 50

  • Year: 2005
  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Magnum 50
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 6 ¼ Inches / 161mm
  • Such a stir was created by this cigar that plans were quickly put in place to introduce it to the standard H. Upmann range. Just three years after its original introduction the Magnum 50 joined the Magnum 46 in the standard portfolio. The heavy girth adds a rich texture to the classic H. Upmann taste.
Double Corona

Double Corona

  • Year: 2003
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Prominente
  • Ring gauge: 49
  • Length: 7 ⅝ Inches / 194mm
  • An exceptionally well-balanced and rewarding cigar that delivers the medium to full bodied flavour associated with the Linea Classica, but is framed with a sweet top-taste from the aged wrapper. A delicious hour and a quarter of smoking pleasure.
Serie D No.5

Serie D No.5

  • Year: 2008
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: D No.5
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 ⅜ Inches / 110mm
  • This is another of the rare Limited Editions to have made the transition into the standard portfolio, just three years after its original release. The wide gauge and relatively short length makes this diminutive cigar a sketch in modernity and reflects the taste for wider cigars, even when time is restricted.
Robusto Supremos

Robusto Supremos

  • Year: 2014
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Magnifico
  • Ring gauge: 58
  • Length: 5 Inches / 127mm
  • An eye-catching, blockbuster of a cigar that has a subtlety and nuance in the blend that belies its shape. A hugely popular cigar from the minute it arrived in the UK and with a 58 ring gauge, remains the widest Limited Edition ever produced.
Double Corona

Double Corona

  • Year: 2001
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Prominente
  • Ring gauge: 49
  • Length: 7 ⅝ Inches / 194mm
  • Although there are four ‘2001’ releases none of them actually made it to market until the middle of 2002. Consequently there are no Limited Edition Havanas with a 2002 dated band and these are still referred to by most people as 2001 releases.
Escudos

Escudos

  • Year: 2007
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Gordito
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 141mm
  • This cigar is the same size as the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial. The “Escudos” was the name of the Portuguese currency prior to joining the Euro. Could this be a hint that these cigars originally had one eye on the Portuguese market? Regardless, a cigar enjoyed all over the world.
Exhibition No.2

Exhibition No.2

  • Year: 2000
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Prominente
  • Ring gauge: 49
  • Length: 7 ⅝ Inches / 194mm
  • The Double Corona remains one of the largest formats within the Havana cigar portfolio, although today the size is not commonly produced. As with all the Ediciones Limitadas produced before 2007, just the wrappers on these cigars have been aged for 2 years.
Petit Pirámide

Petit Pirámide

  • Year: 2005
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Petit Pirámide
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 5 Inches / 127mm
  • The Petit Pirámides maintained Romeo y Julieta’s perfect record of releasing a Limited Edition cigar every year since the concept was launched in 2000. The only brand to achieve it. A delicious, medium-sized figurado that, when first realised, some people found a little fuller-flavoured than expected.
Serie D No.1

Serie D No.1

  • Year: 2004
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Partagas 16
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 6 ¾ Inches / 170mm
  • Big, bold and full flavoured. Not a cigar for the faint-hearted or to be attempted on an empty stomach. Ideally suited for following a hearty meal and as a companion to a powerful drink or as the last cigar of the day.
Duke

Duke

  • Year: 2009
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Duke
  • Ring gauge: 54
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm
  • The same size as the Partagas Serie E No.2 the impressive Duke was well placed to deliver the rounded, subtle aroma of the R&J blend. It may have initially taken a little while to capture the imagination of UK cigar smokers but it became a highly sought-after and well respected cigar. The price has already doubled according to some sources.
Pirámide

Pirámide

  • Year: 2003
  • Flavour: Light
  • Vitola: Pirámide
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 156mm
  • A much-admired production from Hoyo de Monterrey. Without question one of the early highlights from the Limited Edition program and one which still commands a high price whenever they appear on the market.
Regalos

Regalos

  • Year: 2007
  • Flavour: Light
  • Vitola: Regalos
  • Ring gauge: 46
  • Length: 5 ⅜ Inches / 137mm
  • The Spanish word “regalos” translates to English as “gifts” and these cigars, a unique size within the Havana cigar portfolio, would certainly make a wonderful gift today for the discerning cigar smoker as they are now quite hard to find. The dark sweet wrapper was a hallmark of this cigar.
Short Churchill

Short Churchill

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Robusto
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 ⅞ Inches / 124mm
  • Upon its release in 2006 this cigar became the first medium flavoured robusto from Cuba. This modern shape also proved an ideal way to update the famous association of the Churchill name with Havana cigars. Hardly surprising then that it has gone on to become such a huge success.
Serie C No.3

Serie C No.3

  • Year: 2012
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Hermoso No.3
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm
  • Reminiscent of the 2010 Partagas Serie D Especial this was a very full-flavoured cigar when first released. It has had the benefit of a few years maturation and has settled down somewhat. However, it remains a robust, spicy and earthy smoke.
Pirámide

Pirámide

  • Year: 2001
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Pirámide
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 156mm
  • This is the first Cohiba Limited Edition to be produced and set the benchmark for all subsequent Limited Edition Cohibas that followed. Today it has become a much sought after and highly prized cigar. It was reproduced as a Limited Edition in 2006, although in boxes of ten rather than 25.
D

D

  • Year: 2005
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Dalia
  • Ring gauge: 43
  • Length: 6 ¾ Inches / 170mm
  • This is a classic Dalias size and so shares its dimensions with the Cohiba Siglo V and the Partagas 8-9-8. It is presented in neat 3-4-3 varnished SBN boxes of 10 cigars and has gained a reputation of being one of the best ageing Limited Editions. Hard to find now but well worth a try.
1966

1966

  • Year: 2011
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Cañonazo Especial
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 6 ½ Inches / 166mm
  • Cohiba’s first Limited Edition for five years. Named after the year the brand was originally established for Cuba’s late President, Fidel Castro, the cigars are presented with a distinctive pig-tail cap, like the original Cohibas and the new BHK Linea. Well worth setting aside an hour and a half of your day to enjoy one of these.
Hermoso No.2

Hermoso No.2

  • Year: 2004
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Hermoso No.2
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 157mm
  • Occasionally overlooked due to some of the large characters released alongside it in 2004, the Hermosos No.2 is nonetheless a fine cigar in its own right. It remains faithful to the medium-bodied Romeo blend and has, by many accounts, aged very well indeed.
Wide Churchill

Wide Churchill

  • Year: 2015
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Montesco
  • Ring gauge: 55
  • Length: 5 ¼ Inches / 130mm
  • Released in 2010, the Wide Churchill has come a long way in a short space of time. Nowhere is that better demonstrated than with the decision to honour the vitola with a Gran Reserva release, after only five years in the standard Habanos portfolio.
Magnum 48

Magnum 48

  • Year: 2009
  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Magnum 48
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 4 ⅜ Inches / 110mm
  • At just under 4 ½ in length this diminutive cigar still managed to deliver plenty of character and flavour over the course of the 25 minutes or so it took to smoke. The number in the name is in reference to the ring gauge.
Super Corona

Super Corona

  • Year: 2014
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Hermoso No.3
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm
  • Only the second time that Bolivar has been called upon to produce a Limited Edition. The cigar shares its name, although not its dimensions, with a previous Super Corona produced by H. Upmann. Although two millimetres shorter than a standard Corona, it boasts a heavier ring gauge than the standard vitola. A Super Corona indeed.
Serie D No.2

Serie D No.2

  • Year: 2003
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Robusto No.2
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 156mm
  • A rare size known as a Robusto No.2 in the factories of Cuba. One millimetre shorter and it would be known as the more pervasive Doble. Still a fine cigar after nearly a decade and a half in its box.
Sir Winston

Sir Winston

  • Year: 2017
  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Julieta No.2
  • Ring gauge: 47
  • Length: 7 Inches / 178mm
  • Named after one of the greatest Britons to have ever lived who was also one of the world's most famous cigar smokers. This august cigar carries the weight of responsibility with grace and charm. A cigar that reaches its full potential in gentle waves rather than a tsunami.
Petit Churchill

Petit Churchill

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Petit Robusto
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 Inches / 102mm
  • 2012 saw the arrival of the fourth and possibly last of Romeo’s famous Churchill line. Petit Churchills, joining the original, Short and Wide Churchills to offer a range of heavy girth vitolas for all occasions.
Romeo de Luxe

Romeo de Luxe

  • Year: 2013
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Capuleto
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 6 ⅜ Inches / 162mm
  • Presented in varnished boxes of 10 cigars the Romeo de Luxe projects a feeling of luxury from the moment you pick a box up to the time you place the finished stub of your cigar in an ashtray. A class act from start to finish.
Robusto

Robusto

  • Year: 2001
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Robusto
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 ⅞ Inches / 124mm
  • It could be said that this cigar is an antecedent to the Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill, a 2006 release and fellow Robusto size. From the Short Churchill came the Wide Churchill and then followed the Petit Churchill. An interesting footnote in the emergence of the Churchill linea.
Serie D No.3

Serie D No.3

  • Year: 2006
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Corona Gorda
  • Ring gauge: 46
  • Length: 5 ⅝ Inches / 143mm
  • In 2006 Habanos s.a decided to commemorate three of the most popular previous releases since the launch of the Limited Edition concept in 2000. This cigar was an extremely popular offering from Partagas in 2003 and many jumped at the chance to enjoy it for the second time along with those who missed out first time round.
Short Hoyo Pirámide

Short Hoyo Pirámide

  • Year: 2011
  • Flavour: Light
  • Vitola: Forum
  • Ring gauge: 46
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 135mm
  • With the same dimensions as the Montecristo Open Regata, this slender figurado is a light and aromatic addition to the Limited Edition family. Serves particularly well as a post-lunch companion during the summer months with a glass of white wine or champagne.
Particulares

Particulares

  • Year: 2000
  • Flavour: Light
  • Vitola: Gran Corona
  • Ring gauge: 47
  • Length: 9 ¼ Inches / 235mm
  • The same size as the iconic Montecristo ‘A’, this light bodied, delicate cigar offers well over two hours of enjoyment. Presented in individual coffin boxes within a dressed box of five cigars.
Petit Churchill

Petit Churchill

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Petit Robusto
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 Inches / 102mm
Sublimes

Sublimes

  • Year: 2004
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Sublimes
  • Ring gauge: 54
  • Length: 6 ½ Inches / 164mm
  • The 54 ring gauge of the Sublimes was remarkable at the time of its release and it became an instant favourite among cigar smokers. However, its reputation has continued to grow with each passing year and it is now rightly considered a classic. Author and journalist Nicholas Foulkes described it as “the best cigar of the century thus far” in his 2017 book “Cigars: a Guide”. An époque defining Havana cigar.
Lusitania

Lusitania

  • Year: 2013
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Prominente
  • Ring gauge: 49
  • Length: 7 ⅝ Inches / 194mm
  • Considered one of the truly great smokes in modern times, the Lusitania is a benchmark Havana cigar for many aficionados. This release does not disappoint. Sophistication and nuance have been added to the formidable and fiery reputation this cigar rightly owns.
No.2

No.2

  • Year: 2011
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Pirámide
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 156mm
  • The most iconic piramide on the market bar none. The Montecristo No.2 has been a benchmark cigar for decades and was the perfect choice for Cuba’s second Gran Reserva in 2011.
Siglo VI

Siglo VI

  • Year: 2009
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Cañonazo
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 ⅞ Inches / 150mm
  • Seven years after the release of the original Siglo VI this cigar launched the Gran Reserva concept. It won’t be easy to track a box of down these days as they were an instant success and remain popular among collectors to this day. If you have a box already, then congratulations!
Selección Superba

Selección Superba

  • Year: 2016
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Geniales
  • Ring gauge: 54
  • Length: 5 ⅞ Inches / 150mm
  • 60,000 Selección Superba were produced by the Empresa de Habana at their factory in San Antonio de los Baños in Havana Province. They are presented in 6,000 numbered boxes, containing 10 cigars each and quickly became another very collectable UK Regional Edition.
Cazadores

Cazadores

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Cazadores
  • Ring gauge: 43
  • Length: 6 ⅜ Inches / 162mm
  • A Lonsdale size, more or less, presented in bundles wrapped in silver foil. The name translates as ‘Hunters’, which means it should be at home here.
Belgravia

Belgravia

  • Year: 2015
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Montesco
  • Ring gauge: 55
  • Length: 5 ¼ Inches / 130mm
  • Sharing its dimensions with the R&J Wide Churchill and being named after a plush part of West London gives this cigar a particularly English feel. There is even a statue of Simon Bolivar in Belgrave Square, Belgravia, where the cigar was introduced for the first time.
Sobresalientes

Sobresalientes

  • Year: 2014
  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Sobresalientes
  • Ring gauge: 53
  • Length: 6 Inches / 153mm
  • The Spanish word “Sobresaliente” translates to “Outstanding” and is also the vitola de galera (factory name) for the size. It was first seen in 2007 as the Partagas Sobresaliente in the Replica de Humidor Antiguo. Only 200 humidors containing 50 cigars were made and the size remains extremely rare.
Gran Cano

Gran Cano

  • Year: 2013
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Gordito
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 141mm
  • After the success of the 2010 Short Robusto, this gordito provides all of the distinctive Flor de Cano flavours that proved to be so popular, but with an extra inch and a half of smoking time. Presented in unvarnished boxes of ten.
Petit Belicoso

Petit Belicoso

  • Year: 2012
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Petit Belicoso
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 Inches / 125mm
  • Now with one Regional Edition per region each year, H&F decided to pay homage to the first ever UK release from 2005. Although it is half an inch shorter, the ring gauge and brand remain the same. Both cigars were figurados and both delivered robust signature Ramon Allones flavour.
Medalla de Oro

Medalla de Oro

  • Year: 2011
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Dobles
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 155mm
  • Distinctive, medium-bodied and full of classic Punch wood notes. The flavours that this doble deliver more than match its gilded appearance. Presented in varnished SBN boxes of 10 cigars.
Británicas

Británicas

  • Brand: Bolívar
  • Year: 2011
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Británicas Extra
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 5 ⅜ Inches / 137mm
  • This is a figurado, which means the sides of the cigar are not parallel. But it’s not a classic double-figurado like most of Cuaba’s vitolas Instead. The correct term to describe its shape is a perfecto and there are no other perfectos in any brand made in Cuba these days. The consistent draw of this technically difficult cigar to hand roll became its hallmark and its robust flavours made it a classic.
Regalías de Londres

Regalías de Londres

  • Year: 2010
  • Flavour: Light to Medium
  • Vitola: Gordito
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 141mm
  • The second offering from Por Larrañaga, ‘Regalías de Londres’ translates into English as “Gifts from London”. However, the word “Regalías” has another particular meaning that relates only to Cuban cigars. From the 1850s and 1860s, Havana’s cigar manufacturers used it to describe cigars of the highest quality. This proved to be the case in this instance and the ‘gifts’ quickly disappeared.
Short Robusto

Short Robusto

  • Year: 2010
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Petit Robusto
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 Inches / 102mm
  • Inspired by the short-lived, handmade Flor de Canos produced between 1988 and 1992 and in particular the legendary ‘Short Churchill’. This cigar was a phenomenal success and great lengths were taken to faithfully recreate not only the original blend but also the original packaging, complete with the signature green ink hots tamp on the box.
Selección Suprema

Selección Suprema

  • Year: 2009
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Torre Iznaga
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 6 ⅝ Inches / 170mm
  • Just 2,000 numbered boxes of 10 were made of this cigar in an extremely rare size. Known as ‘Torre Iznaga’ in the factories of Cuba and named after an old tower standing in the city of Trinidad, Cuba. The cigar quickly built up a loyal fanbase.
Choix de L’Epoque

Choix de L’Epoque

  • Year: 2009
  • Flavour: Light to Medium

  • Vitola: D No.6
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 3 ½ Inches / 90mm
  • Although only 3 ½” (90mm) long this cigar has all the hallmarks of the Partagas brand. It is as rich, earthy, peppery and powerful as you would expect from Havana’s most popular full flavoured cigar brand.
Short

Short

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Minuto
  • Ring gauge: 42
  • Length: 4 ⅜ Inches / 110mm

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Maduro No.1
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 ⅛ Inches / 130mm

  • Year: 2016
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Corona Gorda
  • Ring gauge: 46
  • Length: 5 ⅝ Inches / 143mm

Exhibition No.4

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Hermoso No.4
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 5 Inches / 127mm
  • This was the nearest cigar to a robusto in Romeo’s range for a very long time; slightly thinner (48 ring gauge) but longer (5 inches). It remains a wonderful format for displaying all the flavour and nuance to be found within the Romeo blend.
Petit Julieta

Petit Julieta

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Entreacto
  • Ring gauge: 30
  • Length: 4 Inches / 100mm

No.3

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Coronita
  • Ring gauge: 40
  • Length: 4 ⅝ Inches / 117mm

No.2

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Mareva
  • Ring gauge: 42
  • Length: 5 ⅛ Inches / 129mm

Wide Churchill

Wide Churchill

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Montesco
  • Ring gauge: 55
  • Length: 5 ¼ Inches / 130mm
  • With a name like this it will come as no surprise that this is seen by many as a fine example of the modern trend toward wider ring gauge cigars.  One of four Romeo y Julietas to bear the famous Churchill name this is, naturally, the one with the heaviest ring gauge.
Petit Corona

Petit Corona

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Mareva
  • Ring gauge: 42
  • Length: 5 ⅛ Inches / 129mm

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Petit Belicoso
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 Inches / 125mm

No.1

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Crema
  • Ring gauge: 40
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm

  • Vitola: Magnum 56

  • Only one Limited edition has ever had a wider ring gauge than this impressive vitola. Its balanced and elegant light to medium bodied blend ensures there is no chance of being weighed down during the hour or so it will take to enjoy. Hard to find but worth the time to look for.

  • Year: 2003
  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Hermoso No.1
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 6 ⅝ Inches / 167mm

Belicoso

Belicoso

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Campana
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm

  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Corona
  • Ring gauge: 42
  • Length: 5 ⅝ Inches / 142mm

  • Year: 2008
  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Sublimes
  • Ring gauge: 54
  • Length: 6 ½ Inches / 164mm
  • A stunning cigar inspired by the legendary Cohiba Sublimes of 2004. It is often seen as the first in a triumvirate of heavy ring gauge Limited Editions to come from Montecristo over the next four years. For many connoisseurs this is the stand out cigar of the three.
Cedros No.3

Cedros No.3

  • Flavour: Medium
  • Vitola: Mareva
  • Ring gauge: 42
  • Length: 5 ⅛ Inches / 129mm

  • Year: 2001
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Corona Gorda
  • Ring gauge: 46
  • Length: 5 ⅝ Inches / 143mm
  • It is very unusual for a Partagas within the ‘Serie D’ range to have anything other than a 50 ring gauge. The original Serie D No.3, from the 1930’s, would have been 5 ½” x 50. However, whatever the name, the second Limited Edition release from Partagas was a feisty, full flavoured and intense smoke.
No.4

No.4

  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Mareva
  • Ring gauge: 42
  • Length: 5 ⅛ Inches / 129mm

  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Perla

  • Length: 4 Inches / 102mm
  • The smallest of Montecristo’s original, tightly defined range. A good pressed cigar with a flavour and aroma that develops during smoking. A faithful companion almost anywhere.
Petit Edmundo

Petit Edmundo

  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Petit Edmundo
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 4 ⅜ Inches / 110mm
  • Edmundo’s little brother blessedly burst onto the scene just ahead of the smoking ban, so that devotees of heavy gauge, intense flavoured cigars had a shorter alternative.

  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 155mm

  • Vitola: Gran Corona
  • Ring gauge: 47
  • Length: 9 ¼ Inches / 235mm

  • Vitola: Laguito No.1
  • Ring gauge: 38
  • Length: 7 ½ Inches / 192mm
  • Introduced in 1971 and sharing its dimensions with Cohiba’s Lanceros, the Especial offers a slightly more intense flavour in this elegant size.
Especial No.2

Especial No.2

  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Laguito No.2
  • Ring gauge: 38
  • Length: 6 Inches / 152mm
  • Another vitola that Montecristo shares with Cohiba. Slender ring gauges may not be in vogue these days, but 38 is sufficient to house the full Montecristo blend in a dapper shape.

Petit No.2

  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Petit No.2
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 4 ¾ Inches / 120mm
  • All the medium to full character of the classic No.2 in a shorter smoke. Considering the popularity of the classic No.2 the only question really is why it took so long to arrive, being released in 2013, 78 years after the original.

Media Corona

  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Half Corona
  • Ring gauge: 44
  • Length: 3 ½ Inches / 90mm
  • At just 3 ½” (90mm) long, this is as short a cigar as you will find being made in Cuba today. However, despite its lack of length it is still able to deliver plenty of Montecristo taste. Ideal for when time is an issue.
Joyita

Joyita

  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Laguito No.3
  • Ring gauge: 26
  • Length: 4 ½ Inches / 115mm
  • A cigar that benefits from being sipped rather than gulped, but one that rewards the more patient cigar smoker with a short, intense shot of Montecristo’s famous flavour.
Tubos

Tubos

  • Flavour: Medium to Full
  • Vitola: Corona Grande
  • Ring gauge: 42
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 155mm

  • Vitola: Forum
  • Ring gauge: 46
  • Length: 5 ⅜ Inches / 135mm

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Laguito No.5
  • Ring gauge: 54
  • Length: 5 ⅝ Inches / 144mm
  • The number of a BHK stands for its ring gauge, so this stout model boasts a diameter of 54/64ths of an inch, which leaves plenty of room for the fourth component in the filler – the Medio Tiempo – that brings a startling intensity to the flavour.
