Limited Edition

The Robustos Supremos is the first Cuban Cigar to have a 58 ring gauge, making this Cigar currently the thickest Cuban Cigar in living memory.. The Robustos Supremos follows in the footsteps of the Cohiba Behike and Pirámides Extras in utilising the new Cohiba Hologram band.

Regular Production
00-hoyo-de-monterrey-le-hoyo-de-san-juan

As of 2014, the Le Hoyo de San Juan will be biggest ring gauged Hoyo de Monterrey in current production. What's interesting about this release however, is that the Cigar would be part of the Le Hoyo series, that is dominated by thinner ring gauged Cigars.

The San Juan will follow the trend of recent years of large bands with the name of the Cigar embossed underneath the logo. Examples of this band styling include the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure de Luxe and H. Upmann Connoisseur A.

The San Juan will be available in slide lid cabinets of both 10 & 25 cigars. Pricing is unknown but I'd not be surprised that they won't be cheap!

Partagás Serie D No. 6

The Partagás Serie D No. 6 is the newest addition to the recent trend from Habanos of introducing small, stubby Cigars. Hopefully the Serie D No. 6 will build on the success of the H. Upmann Half Corona. Released in 2011, the H. Upmann Half Corona proved a hit with aficionados as it delivered in flavour regardless of it's size.

Trinidad Vigia
00-trinidad-vigia-thumb.jpg

Of all the 2014 releases, I find the Trinidad Vigia one of the most interesting. Mainly because only a few years ago the Trinidad line was dealt a blow with both the Robusto Extra and Robusto T being discontinued. There were also at the time of the discontinuations rumours that the whole Trindad brand were to be axed. With the introduction of the Vigia, does this indicate that there is still hope for a Trinidad resurgance and Habanos S.A. takes this premium brand seriously?

Switzerland - Ramon Allónes Perfecto - switzerland.png Swiss Regional Edition

The specifics of this Swiss regional release is unknown as of yet. What we do know is:

  • It is a Ramon Allones, utilising the same white band design as found with the Ramon Allónes Allones Extra.
  • It looks to be a perfecto shaped cigar.
  • What the cigar will be finally called is unknown. I have called it Ramon Allones Perfecto for now, but that's just an unofficial name I have given it.
  • The actual ring gauge and length of the cigar is unknown, although it looks like a slightly larger Bolívar Británicas.

United Kingdom - Por Larrañaga Sobresalientes - united-kingdom.png United Kingdom Regional Edition

Announced during the week of the 2014 Habanos Festival, the Por Larrañaga Sobresalientes will be the largest ring gauged Regional Edition made specific for the British market. An interesting vitola in the fact that it has an odd numbered fifty three ring gauge that is difficult to pronounce. It's not the first Sobresalientes Regional Edition however, as in previous years we have had the Ramon Allónes Sidon and Bolívar 681 for both Lebanon and Bulgaria respectively.

Cheers Mike

You normally don't start seeing them until 3rd quarter of the year. Often later.

As long as I can get my hands on the LGCs I'll be happy

Also, hope that the Trinie Vigia is 100 times better than the 2010 LE , the short Robustos! What a waste of good Tobacco that was in my opinion!

Posted

Keen as on the Cohiba, HdM and I'd really love to try that RA perfecto

Posted

I'm just hoping we get a Canadian regional this year and don't get skunked again.

I've heard rumors of a Raphael Gonzales Minutos but nothing to validate it yet.

As for the EL series, I like trying them, but have bought very few boxes over the years. If I remember correctly, I've only bought the '12 Parti C3 and the '07 Trini Ingenios.

Maybe that's what I heard as well. Either way, it will be a $17+ itty-bitty that better be good or it will be in the store rooms until 2057 or the next big warehouse flood. (Poor poor Simones)

The one that leaps out over all the others for me as one that I'd like to try is the Boli SC.I love Hoyo in general but a 54 ring is a step too far for me and a 58 on the Cohiba is just ridiculous IMHO.

I can't seem to get along with PL as a marque in general so the UK regional won't interest me but I like the idea of the Hermosas #4,size wise.

I imagine that the German RA 898 is going to go well too.

Why do I feel like this Cohiba is going to be the beginning of the end for small-gauge CC? I mean, there are some interesting NC blends coming out in the past 5 years or so and I can't try most of them because the RG are all too gd big!

Wow! If only Stevegriff knew when they were rolled and released!

And how they'd be priced!

Posted

i'm actually (unhealthy-ingly) excited about the H. Upmann Reserva.

i hope they'll do a Sir Winnie or Connie A Gran Reserva a bit down the line, though... kinda like how i'm hoping for an RyJ Gran Reserva of some sort. one that's a completely different Vitola.

Holy Smokes, that Cohiba LE is a beast!!

Jaw breaker! Way too fat. How much will it cost with 2 bands and the Cohiba name? Wayyy too much! Are the Cubans getting into gimmick cigars? Add serie D 6 ? I dont get it at all. Pass.

The Partagás Coleccion Habanos Serie E No. 1 on that list is actually the 2013 release, I think, although it has yet to surface and I haven't heard anything about the 2014 (presumably Hoyo), so who really knows.

Would have to agree here. Might be looking a little absurd chowing on this stogie with your mates at a BBQ. Cigars for me are about relaxing and enjoying. Getting your mouth around this baseball bat is far from my idea of enjoyment!
