Standard Production Cigars

Current Production Cigars

Current standard or regular production cigars are normal cigars that are in continuing factory production and are commercially available worldwide. Not every cigar will be produced every year, but they remain available for distributors to order and will be produced whenever supplies run low.


Discontinued Production Cigars

Discontinued production cigars are standard cigars that have been officially confirmed by Habanos S.A. as discontinued. They are no longer available for distributors to order.

Some cigars may not have been produced for many years before they are officially discontinued. Conversely, other cigars might be produced for another year or two after discontinuation to fill any standing orders and use up remaining packaging stock. Discontinuation dates on this website therefore reflect the official date of discontinuation, not final production.

Many discontinued cigars can be obtained (at a premium) in the vintage cigar market.


Habanos Selection Releases

In 2003, Habanos S.A. introduced the Habanos Selection ( Selección Habanos) releases. These boxes consist of a number of different cigars of the same size from different brands.

In the early 1960s several brands had regular selection releases, which were normally several different sizes of standard cigar presented in a single box.

La Casa del Habanos Exclusives

La Casa del Habano is a worldwide chain of franchise stores, the first of which opened in Cancun, Mexico in 1990. The name and logo are internationally registered trademarks of Habanos S.A. Some stores (mostly within Cuba) are operated by Habanos S.A. itself. Internationally, the way the franchises are run varies based on region: in some areas, the exclusive distributor for the region owns all the La Casa del Habano stores. In other areas the stores are franchised to individuals.

Cigars are regularly released that are available exclusively in La Casa del Habano stores. They are generally produced in somewhat smaller quantities than true standard production cigars, and normally wear a second brown band denoting their status.

Habanos Specialist Exclusives

Habanos Specialist Logo The Habanos Specialist programme was developed by Habanos S.A. around 2012. It is a designation given to independent tobacconists that meet certain criteria with regards to the range of Cuban cigars they carry, storage conditions, and staff training. It is administered by the exclusive distributors in their markets. There are around 500 Habanos Specialist stores worldwide.

Cigars in this category are exclusively available at Habanos Specialist and La Casa del Habano stores. They are produced indefinitely in somewhat smaller quantities than standard production. Since 2016, they have worn a special gold band that denotes this series, and tend to have higher end packaging.

Special Release Cigars

Habanos S.A. regularly releases a number of different types of special production cigars. They are generally limited in quantity, and are usually distinguished by new vitolas, different packaging, special bands, or the use of specially aged tobacco. They may form part of a regular series, or be a once-off commemorative release. They generally command premium prices on both the primary and secondary markets.

Unlisted Cigars

As a general rule, cigars that are not official, generally available productions from Habanos S.A. or Internacional Cubana de Tabacos S.A. are not listed on this website. This can include pre-production cigars, private commissions by an individual or dealer, or regular production cigars that are repackaged by a distributor or retailer as a value-add.


Limited Edition Series

In 2000, Habanos S.A. introduced the Limited Edition ( Edición Limitada) Series. This series comprises cigar vitolas that are not in current production.

Initially, the cigars were manufactured using two year old aged wrappers from the upper level of the plant, to produce a unique darker colour. Since 2007 all of the tobacco (wrapper, binder, and filler) is aged for two years.

Early years of the programme saw four or five different Limited Edition cigars released each year. In 2002 there were no releases, probably due to the late release of the 2001 cigars and the lack of suitable two-year old wrapper tobacco, as Habanos S.A. may have underestimated the success of the Limited Edition concept. Since 2005, there have been three cigars in most years (with a few exceptions).

Limited Edition cigars normally have two bands; the standard production band for their brand, and a second black on gold band with the text "Edición Limitada" and the release year. The band on the 2000 release did not include a date.

Regional Edition Series

In 2005, Habanos S.A. introduced the Regional Edition ( Edición Regional) programme. This series gives the distributors an annual opportunity to commission special exclusive cigars for their region.

In the initial program, the cigars could not be commisioned from the ten worldwide premium Global and Niche brands. Since the 2019 re-organisation of the brands, the niche brand category has been dissolved, and Cuaba and San Cristóbal de la Habana have become eligible for Regional Editions (the status of Trinidad is still unclear). In some cases discontinued brands have also had regional releases, and in one instance an entirely new brand was created. The cigars must be a standard current production factory size that are not already available in that brand. Since 2016, regions cannot have a cigar from the same brand two years in a row. Up until 2012, distributors were able to commission multiple cigars per year. This was subsequently limited to one cigar per region, although large distributors are still able to commission multiple cigars by specifying different regions within their territory.

Each release is initiated by the distributors, who approach Habanos with an idea for a release which Habanos will either accept or reject. The distributor specifies how many cigars they would like (minimum order of 25,000), and pays for the cost of the production up front. If they would like specialty packaging, then they are responsible for sourcing this. Habanos will produce three prototype blend options, and the distributor will pick the one that goes into final production. In some cases, a second batch of the cigars may be produced in the year after the inital release.

Regional Edition cigars normally have two bands: the standard production band for their brand, and a special red and silver band with the word "Exclusivo" and the name of the region in Spanish. In some cases, a special band is used in place of the standard one. Early releases used a generic band that did not state the region name. Prior to 2005, a number of distributors were able to commission exclusive cigars with no special bands or markings.

Habanos Collection

In 2001, Habanos S.A. introduced the Habanos Collection ( Colección Habanos) series.

This series consists of special large format cigars packaged in numbered boîte nature boxes in the form of a book. The 2001 release contained 10 cigars, but most releases since then contained 20 cigars. The number of books released has varied from 300 to 2,000. Normally, the cigars wear the standard band for their brand.

After the series had released ten cigars, the 11th edition in 2011 comprised three cigars from each of the first ten releases. The series then began again, with new cigars from each of the same ten brands in the same order as before.

Millennium Reserve

In February 1999, Habanos S.A. released the Millennium Reserve ( Reserva del Milenio) series to commemorate the Millennium.

The cigars were packaged in ceramic jars of 25 cigars, with special "Millennium 2000" bands. This series involved 10,000 Cohiba jars, 10,000 Montecristo jars, and 4,000 Cuaba jars; a total of 24,000 jars.  The initial release was approximately 17,000 jars, with the balance released in 2002.

The final released in late 2002 was due to a quantity of the original jars being rejected (mainly) due to lid imperfections. These boxes bear a OSU Nov 2002 release code.  These jars contain the 1999 production cigars, which were stored until replacement jars became available. There were also various other private commissions and special gift cigars produced with the "Millennium 2000" bands.

Aged Habanos Series

In 2011 Habanos SA released select range of aged regular production cigars including Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Dieux in 50s, El Rey del Mundo, and Vegas Robaina. The cigars were aged more than five years (up to ten years) and were identified by the addition of a special Añejados band, an internal notice, and a Revisado stamp on the base of the box. The cigars were only available in Cuba in fairly limited numbers.

imageimageimage

In late 2014, Habanos announced the release of a new Aged Habanos (Habanos Añejados) series.

These cigars are aged in their boxes for five to eight years before release. The boxes are stamped with the original roll date, along with a Revisado stamp to indicate that the cigars have been inspected. They wear a special Habanos Añejados band in addition to their regular one.

Initially, the cigars in this series consisted of two releases per year of unique and discontinued vitolas in global brands. In 2016 the program saw just a single cigar. Nothing further was released until 2019, when the programme returned for with an aged regular production cigar which came with a high-quality cardboard Añejados branded outer-box. In 2024 it was announced that the programme was to be replaced by the Vintage series.

Replica Antique Humidor Series

In 2006, Habanos S.A. introduced the Replica Antique Humidor ( Réplica de Humidor Antiguo) series.

This series comprises premium quality replicas of antique humidors, issued in very limited quantities, at a substantial price premium. They normally contain 50 cigars in a non-regular production size (it is often a recreation of a long discontinued vitola). The cigars normally have the standard bands for their brand.

An old El Ray del Mundo factory was converted to produce these and other special humidors.

Chinese Year Series

In 2019, Habanos S.A. introduced the Chinese Year ( Año Chino) series.

This series is composed of premium, large format cigars from Global brands. The cigars are released annually around the time of the Chinese New Year. They are launched in Hong Kong, but globally available thereafter. They are packaged in luxurious red and gold boxes of 8 or 18 cigars and have footbands depicting a Chinese zodiac animal. 8,888 pieces are usually produced.

Chinese New Year falls in late January or early February, while new Cuban cigars are generally announced at the Festival del Habanos in late February. The 'release year' of Año Chino cigars, therefore, is considered to be the year they are announced, which for these cigars is the year before the year that they celebrate.

The distributor for Spain, Tabacalera S.L.U., had released cigars with Chinese Year packaging prior to 2019, however these were a just a private repackaging of regular production cigars.

Commemorative Humidors

Commemorative Humidors are released to commemorate special occasions or anniversaries (generally at least one per year).

They are commercially available to the general public, in limited quantities, and at a premium price. They usually contain cigars in unique vitolas, normally with special bands unique to the humidor.

Although certainly a commemorative humidor, the Siglo XXI Millennium Humidor is given its own category on this website, as its 2,000 cigars overwhelm any list of commemorative cigars.
