We are expecting the imminent release of the 55th Cohiba Anniversary collection by S.T Dupont. It was launched Thursday 8TH July in Switzerland as they showcased the entire range of the limited edition cigar accessories.   The 55th Anniversary of the Cohiba brand had been earmarked for a massive celebration as told at Habanos World Days a few months ago...

Plasencia are fast becoming one of the most popular brands in the New World market for the UK. Our customers that opt for the New World options will be very familiar with our Padron, Oliva and Joya de Nicaragua cigars (to name a few) in our humidor at No.19. However, the recent emergence of Plasencia on our shelves has added a new...

Now more than ever before Habanos S.A. are making strides to introduce products to a wider audience. Whether that means collaborations or producing products for a specific market or retail sector, their growth continues a solid upward trajectory.   Habanos revealed the brand new Trinidad Robusto Extra Travel Humidor at the 2020 Virtual Travel Retail Expo. Like the H. Upmann...

We hoped there would be the customary three new Edicion Limitada for 2021 – Habanos could have been forgiven for not having the time and resources to deliver this year. In 2020 Habanos announced just one cigar for the Edicion Limitada collection – Partagas Legado. Thankfully, they have been able to put together the three cigars as well as a...

There is so much to watch and look through on Habanos World Days. The last post covered Cohiba’s 55th anniversary, but there is still a fair bit left to cover on the event.   The pairings section is fascinating and offers a specialist perspective on luxury cigars with high-end spirits. Each pairing is revealed by an award-winning sommelier featuring a...

That would be it in a nutshell to somebody that is...

The mystery is that its availability has been sporadic to say the least and when they are available, they tend to fly off the shelf nearly immediately, leading on to the myth for some of ‘do they...

Montecristo is one of the most recognisable cigar brands in the world and consists of two brands, one produced in Cuba for Habanos SA and the other in the Dominican Republic for Imperial Tobacco, giving the option of both a Cuban Montecristo and a non-Cuban Montecristo. Unlike other brands, Montecristo is not especially old, first being rolled in just 1935...

Cuba is a country synonymous with cigars, and the Cohiba is by far their most famous brand. But for all its acclaim and fame, the Cohiba is a rather young brand compared to the likes of the Romeo Y Julieta or the H. Upmann, with less than a century of history behind it. Despite this, it is a cigar brand...

“Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene…” In 1875, a partnership between Inocencia Alvarez and Manin Garcia established a cigar brand that would delight cigar connoisseurs all over the world.
