More than two decades of Excellence - Habanos and their Exclusive Limited Editions

2024-06-12

It has been 24 years since the first Ediciones Limitadas- Limited Editions of Habanos were introduced to the market: Hoyo de Monterrey Particulares, Montecristo Robustos, Partagás Pirámides, and Romeo y Julieta Exhibición No. 2. The distinction and prestige of these launches come not only from their packaging design but also from the exclusivity of the Habanos they contain. Habanos Ediciones Limitadas- Limited Editions are produced in small quantities and unusual or unique vitolas within the brand. Additionally, they have a minimum ageing period of two years, and both the boxes and the Habano itself are identified with a band bearing the words "Edición Limitada" and the year they were launched.

Today, after 68 Ediciones Limitadas – Limited Editions under 12 brands, these editions continue to be among the most anticipated and appreciated specialties by premium tobacco enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.

The most emblematic brand of Habanos, S.A., Cohiba, has had 7 Ediciones Limitadas- Limited Editions marketed throughout its history, some of them iconic for the brand, such as Cohiba Sublimes Edición Limitada 2004, Cohiba 1966 Edición Limitada 2016, Cohiba Talismán Edición Limitada 2017, and the recently launched Cohiba 55 Aniversario in 2021. In the case of H. Upmann, the last Edición Limitada was presented in 2018 with the vitola H. Upmann Propios, which stands out for being the only one in the Habanos vitolario of medium ring gauge. For its part, Hoyo de Monterrey presented last year's Edición Limitada Monterreyes No. 4, the seventh for the brand since the 2004 launch of the vitola Epicure Especial, which became a reference within the Hoyo de Monterrey portfolio. As for Partagás, the launch of Partagás Legado Edición Limitada 2020 (Factory Name Hermosos No. 2) stands out, presented in one of the most modern stadiums in Europe, the Wanda Metropolitano stadium in Madrid. Romeo y Julieta Capuletos (53 ring gauge x 153 mm length) is the latest Edición Limitada within the brand’s vitolario, so appreciated worldwide. The latest and most recent Edición Limitada was presented in London. It corresponds to Habanos Bolívar, with its vitola Regentes, Edición Limitada 2021, characterised by its full strength, and rich nuances that distinguish the brand.

Among these 12 protagonist brands in the Ediciones Limitadas- Limited Editions, Trinidad stands out. It is precisely celebrating its 55th anniversary this year with the exclusive presentation of Trinidad Cabildos Edición Limitada 2024 (46 ring gauge x 162 mm length) at the first-ever in-person Habanos World Days, to be held on June 22nd in London. An exclusive and unique vitola within the Trinidad brand portfolio – whose name pays tribute to the Villa de Santísima Trinidad, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988 – which has chosen the name "Cabildos" for this new launch, in honor to the wealth of the famous villa and as a tribute to one of the first cabildos founded in Cuba during the colonial era.

Presented in a case designed exclusively for this launch, containing 12 Habanos that have been "Totally handmade with Long Filler" after a careful selection of their leaves (Wrapper, Filler, and Binder) harvested by the best producers in the Vuelta Abajo* area, in Pinar del Río*, Cuba*, where the world’s best tobacco is produced, and have been aged for at least two years.

Additionally, this great Habano incorporates, as usual, an additional band distinguishing the Ediciones Limitadas and the year, and a foot band designed to commemorate the 55th anniversary with the highest quality standards and NFC technology as a security and communication measure.
