GenerallyCigars are grouped into the following categories in this website:Current Production CigarsCurrent production cigars are standard cigars that are in regular factory production and are commercially available on a continuing basis.Full list of current production cigars. Discontinued Production CigarsDiscontinued production cigars are standard cigars that have been officially confirmed by Habanos SA as discontinued. For older cigars, the date shown as discontinued does not necessarily indicate commercial availability up to that time, as many of these cigars ceased being made long before being officially discontinued. Recently discontinued cigars tend to remain commercially available for only a short time. Some cigars discontinued around 2002/3 have appeared with a box code a year after the date the cigar was officially cancelled, as the cigars were not boxed until later. Many discontinued cigars can be obtained (at a premium) in the vintage cigar market. Full list of discontinued production cigars. Special Release CigarsSpecial Release cigars are special production releases for an annual series or for a once-off commemorative release. They are usually distinguished by new vitolas, different packaging, different or additional bands, the use of specially aged tobacco, etc.They are generally available short term, in limited quantities, and at a premium price. Full list of Special Release cigars. Unlisted Cigars As a general rule, non-commercial cigars, pre-production cigars, special commissions (of existing cigars) for a particular dealer, sample packs, regional packaging (jars, travel humidors, etc.), cigarettes, and the like are not listed on this website. |
Limited Edition Series In 2000, Habanos S.A. introduced the Limited Edition ( Edición Limitada ) Series for their premium brands. This series comprises cigar vitolas that were 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, & filler) is aged for two years. The 2001 year cigars were not released until early to mid 2002. There was also a 2001 Limited Edition Vegas Robaina Prominente gifted to attendees at the 2002 Habano Festival, to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the Vegas Robaina brand. Only 800 of these cigars were produced. In 2002 there were no Limited Edition releases. This was probably due to the late release of the 2001 LE cigars and the lack of suitable two-year old wrapper tobacco, as Habanos SA may have underestimated the success of the Limited Edition concept. In 2006 (the fifth anniversary of this series) three of the most popular Limited Edition cigars were re-issued. Limited Edition Bands Limited Edition cigars have two bands. The main band is normally a standard production band. The second band is a special black on gold band. The band on the 2000 release did not include a date. Subsequent years have the year below the "Edicion Limitada" text. Images of the Limited Edition bands. Limited Edition Releases Full list of Limited Edition cigars.
