TABACALERA LAUNCHES MONTECRISTO CARMEN HUMIDORS FOR SPAIN

 

Tabacalera commemorates the 250th anniversary of the completion of Real Fábrica de Tabacos de Sevilla with an exclusive humidor: Montecristo Carmen 250th Anniversary Royal Tobacco Factory of Sevilla.

It is a limited and exclusive edition for the Spanish market made in collaboration with ST Dupont and La Cartuja de Sevilla – 250 humidors that each contain 100 Habanos. The cedar of its entrails and the walnut of its bark are works by ST Dupont. La Cartuja de Sevilla puts the finishing touch to these humidors with the beautiful reproduction of the tobacco factory on its lid.

The vitola de galera chosen for this humidor is Pacos (ring gauge 49 x 180 mm), never used within the brand, and is called Montecristo Carmen. The cigars have been made in the H. Upmann factory in Havana by a group of five of the most expert cigar rollers. The cigar is dressed with two special rings that accompany the main one of the brand, one of them with the name of the vitola and the other with the design of the main facade of the factory. In addition, each humidor is accompanied by a carefully edited book that deals with the Montecristo brand, the history of the factory, the Sevilla cigar makers, the myth of Carmen and the collaborators who have made this collector’s item possible.

The exclusive Montecristo Carmen 250th Anniversary edition of the Royal Tobacco Factory of Sevilla is available at a price of EUR 30.000,– per humidor.

That is quite a beautiful box despite being the cost of a new Subaru.

Cedar entrails and walnut bark....

The two special rings run 500 Euros a piece.

You can put all the lipstick you want on a pig, but it is still a pig.

€100 per band sounds about right.

Interesting to me because CCW has a longstanding policy of not listing the 'unofficial' distributor repack releases.

This doesn't appear to be a Regional Edition, but also is not a repack in that it's a custom size. The bands and humidor certainly look like something added by the distributor and not Tabacuba.

Reminds me of the days when vendors could commission whatever they wanted from the factory managers.

There was another interesting one earlier this year with the China Duty Free Romeo Wide Churchill humidors, which were apparently only available through Infinion but had the seals and appear to have been packed in Cuba.

It seems that the policy on private commissions has been relaxed.
