logo Generally

Cigars are grouped into the following categories in this website:



Current Production Cigars

Current production cigars are standard cigars that are in regular factory production and are commercially available on a continuing basis.

For full details of the Current Production cigars.......click here
 
These lists can be reorganised by clicking the link at the top of each column.




Discontinued Production Cigars

Discontinued production cigars are standard cigars that have been officially confirmed by Habanos SA as discontinued.

For older cigars, the date shown as discontinued does not necessarily indicate commercial availability up to that time, as many of these cigars ceased being made long before being officially discontinued.

Recently discontinued cigars tend to remain commercially available for only a short time.  Some cigars discontinued around 2002/3 have appeared with a box code a year after the date the cigar was officially cancelled, as the cigars were not boxed until later.

Many discontinued cigars can be obtained (at a premium) in the vintage cigar market.

Special Release Cigars

Special Release cigars are special production releases for an annual series or for a once-off commemorative release.  They are usually distinguished by new vitolas, different packaging, different or additional bands, the use of specially aged tobacco, etc.

They are generally available short term, in limited quantities, and at a premium price.

Unlisted Cigars

As a general rule.......non-commercial cigars, pre-production cigars, special commissions (of existing cigars) for a particular dealer, sample packs, regional packaging (jars, travel humidors, etc.), cigarettes, and the like.......are not listed on this website.

 


logo Limited Edition Series

In 2000, Habanos S.A. introduced the Limited Edition (Edición Limitada) Series for their premium brands.  This series comprises cigar vitolas that were not in current production.

Initially, the cigars were manufactured using two year old aged wrappers from the upper level of the plant, to produce a unique darker colour.  Since 2007 all of the tobacco (wrapper, binder, & filler) is aged for two years.

The 2001 year cigars were not released until early to mid 2002.

There was also a 2001 Limited Edition Vegas Robaina Prominente gifted to attendees at the 2002 Habano Festival, to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the Vegas Robaina brand.  Only 800 of these cigars were produced.

In 2002 there were no Limited Edition releases.   This was probably due to the late release of the 2001 LE cigars and the lack of suitable two-year old wrapper tobacco, as Habanos SA may have underestimated the success of the Limited Edition concept.

In 2006 (the fifth anniversary of this series) three of the most popular Limited Edition cigars were re-issued.



Limited Edition Bands

Limited Edition cigars have two bands.

The main band is normally a standard production band.

The second band is a special black on gold band.  The band on the 2000 release did not include a date.  Subsequent years have the year below the "Edicion Limitada" text.

logo Regional Edition Series

In 2005, Habanos S.A. introduced the Regional Edition (Edición Regional) Series.

The ten worldwide premium Global and Niche brands are excluded from this series.  This leaves the seventeen local and multi-local brands for these regional editions.  As these brands are not promoted worldwide, this series was seen as an ideal marketing method to promote them.  Despite this criteria, in 2007 a previously unheard-of brand, Edmundo Dante (a de-facto Montecristo) was released for Mexico.

The series comprises special limited production cigars made exclusively for a regional market, and are available for a one or two year period.  After this, Habanos has the right to add this cigar to the current production range.  The cigars must be selected from current production vitolas that are not already available in that brand.  Some of the newly introduced vitolas from the premium brands are also excluded.

Each release is initiated by the Regional Distributor, who underwrite the setup costs. Some distributors have elected to reissue in the second year.  Reissue cigars are identical but the box leaflet may have a statement "Its great acceptance encourages us to present this edition again..." or similar, depending on the country of distribution. 

Regional Editions currently now have a lifespan of 12 months, and have a minimum run of 25,000 cigars. They are usually released in August, September and October of each year.

From 2012, there will only be one Regional Edition per Distributor.



Regional Edition Bands

Regional Edition cigars normally have two bands.

The main band is normally a standard production band, but can be a modified / enhanced band, or a replica of an old band.

The second band is a special red & silver band.  Earlier releases used a common "Edicion Regional" band that does not include the region name.  Most releases use a standard band type, which states "Exclusivo", followed by the Region Name in Spanish.

Re-Releases

The above listing does not include re-releases.

Re-releases are not shown for two reasons.  Firstly, re-released cigars are (theoretically) identical to the initial releases.  Secondly, official information on re-releases is extremely difficult to obtain and almost impossible to confirm.

Where re-release information is available, it is noted in the status section for each cigar.

logo Millennium Reserve Series

bandIn February 1999, Habanos S.A. released the Millennium Reserve (Reserva del Milenio) Series to commemorate the Millennium.

They were issued in ceramic jars of 25 cigars, with special "Millennium 2000" bands.  This series involved 10,000 Cohiba jars, 10,000 Montecristo jars, and 4,000 Cuaba jars; a total of 24,000 jars.  The initial release was approximately 17,000 jars, with the balance released in 2002.

The final released in late 2002 was due to a quantity of the original jars being rejected (mainly) due to lid imperfections.  These boxes bear a OSU Nov 2002 release code.  These jars contain the 1999 production cigars, which were stored until replacement jars became available.
