Cuban Cigars – Producciones Especiales
Producciones Especiales: Limited-Edition Habanos Special Productions
“Producciones Especiales” is not a single cigar series, but the Cuban umbrella term for special productions that fall outside the regular range. These include numbered humidors and cabinets as well as porcelain and glass jars. They are generally produced in limited quantities, with reissues unlikely. The literal translation “special production” may sound a little industrial. In reality, these are exclusive rarities, usually featuring particularly elaborate designs.
How to Properly Check Limited Editions, Condition and Provenance
Important selection criteria include limitation numbers that attest to their rarity, impeccable condition including a certificate of authenticity, and the trustworthiness of the retailer. As a certified Habanos Specialist, Cigarworld exclusively offers verified genuine products directly from Cuba.
Habanos Jars and Anniversary Humidors
Ceramic Habanos Jars are particularly sought after, as their microclimate provides excellent conditions for aging. Anniversary humidors from major brands such as Cohiba or Trinidad are released only for special occasions and contain formats that are not available in the regular range.
Montecristo Le Crépuscule by S.T. Dupont
The model from Montecristo is in a league of its own. This exquisite piece by Parisian luxury brand S.T. Dupont, bearing the poetic name Le Crépuscule (English: twilight), is limited to just 200 pieces worldwide. The warm colors of the sunset adorn its lid, while the design also incorporates motifs from Alexandre Dumas’ adventure novel “The Count of Monte Cristo.” But its true treasure lies inside: 50 Montecristo L’Esprit cigars. Distinctive roasted, fruity, woody and spicy notes characterize these expertly blended cigars.
La Festival del Habano with 325 Cigars
The La Festival del Habano humidor, on the other hand, is more like a piece of furniture – and quite a remarkable one at that! This unique Cuban piece features 13 drawers and was crafted from okoumé, mahogany, cedar and beech. The crown and globe are more than decorative: the humidor comes filled with 325 premium cigars in eleven different formats from El Rey del Mundo. A piece of Habanos history and perhaps the most extraordinary way to store cigars.
Producciones Especiales are the charming exceptions in the meticulously organized Habanos universe. They are true collector’s pieces for aficionados who are prepared to pay a little more for their passion than the average smoker. In return, they also receive accessories that turn every smoke into a private gala.
