Good Morning all,

I am hoping someone can explain to me what "regional release" means.

I am only assuming that these are productions sent to a specific part of the world and not distributed internationaly?

Are they special vitola that are not normal productions?

Are they new productions soon to be a running style?

Are they made with anything more notable than any other quality product from Cuba?

Or is it strickly marketing ploy to increase interest in a particular brand.

Why "regional" are different areas of the world smoking different styles?

I am curious. I would appreciate any info as to the nature and reason for "reional release" cigars.

Thanks.

Trevor has a nice writeup about ERs on his site:

It won't answer all of your questions, but it's a good start.

Man, all the information on that page just continues to show how little I know about CC's. When I first started I thought there were maximum 3 or 4 brands and that there wasn't that much of a variety. Thanks for the link!

Correct (except for "internationally" which should have 2 Ls).

» Are they special vitola that are not normal productions?

They often are, but not necessarily.

» Are they new productions soon to be a running style?

I dont understand this question.

» Are they made with anything more notable than any other quality product from Cuba?

Theoretically, they're not. In practice, they seem to be higher quality than average, though.

» Why "regional" are different areas of the world smoking different styles?

Yes.

I believer the question is "will they become current production".

A: After 2 years has elapsed, Habanos has the option to put any RE into standard commercial production.

Gentleman, Thank You all for your responses.

A special thanks to Trevor for his most insightful website. I have just started to look it over. I can imagine it will have me engrossed for many hours to come. Kudos to you.
