If you are in the market for more Cuban Regional Edition releases next to the upcoming Swiss release, you will have a few more to hunt down. The Bolivar Generales, a Regional Edition now available in Belgium and Luxembourg, features a unique Pirámides (6 ⅛” x 52) shape similar to the Montecristo No. 2. Priced at 25 euros each or 250 euros per box of 10, it commemorates the 60th anniversary of Laguito 1492 N.V., the distributor for Cuban cigars in that region. Only 10,000 numbered boxes are being released.
France will soon receive the Bolívar Evento 55, which is scheduled to hit store shelves in mid-July. It’s a 5 ½” x 52 Robusto Extra, a size known in the Cuban cigar portfolio as the Genios. Production is limited to 4,000 boxes of 50 cigars, priced at 35 euros per cigar and 1,750 euros per box. Beyond being an Edición Regional, the release celebrates the 55th anniversary of Coprova S.A.S., the distributor of Habanos S.A. products in France, with a secondary band marking the occasion.
For those who missed out on Spain’s La Flor de Cano Mágicos, there’s good news: vintage stock is being re-released under the “Fuera de Serie” program. These Short Robustos, measuring 4 ½” x 52, originally debuted at 8 euros each and are now priced at 20 euros, reflecting a significant price increase as they come with extra age.
Bulgaria has a new Regional Edition cigar as well, the Ramon Allones Rosa Búlgara, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Habanos distributor Kaliman Caribe Ltd. Limited to 6,000 boxes, this cigar measures 6 ⅜” x 52 and is priced at 48 euros.
