Diplomatico No.2

Diplomatico is one of Cuba’s relatively newer brands. Released back in 1966, Diplomatico was launched and marketed as a milder and cheaper alternative to the Montecristo range. The brand was created for the French market initially, but it wasn’t long before they became popular in the rest of Europe and worldwide. The original release of the Diplomatico [...]

2011 Regional Editions - Preliminary list

A little later than last year, the preliminary list of the Regional Editions of 2011 has surfaced. Long as always, the list includes 23 vitolas in total, from 12 different brands and for 17 regions.

La Gloria Cubana Glorioso - RE United Kingdom

The La Gloria Cubana Glorioso was released in 2008 as part of the Regional Edition program for the UK. The Glorioso was the first ever regional to be released by the brand, so Habanos had to put together an attractive package for this demanding region. The popularity of La Gloria Cubana has been fading in the [...]

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Dauphin

I have recently taken a liking for thinner ring gauge cigars, after smoking some delicious panetelas,lonsdales and coronas. These sizes are no longer considered “favourite” sizes, with Habanos axing them every year to make space for the current fashion, that dictates cigars should have a ring gauge larger than 50. We are being fed with these new releases [...]

Mini Herf, Thursday July 22nd

Meeting up for a herf every time a friend from abroad visits Ireland tends to become a fashion, or maybe an excuse to meet up for a smoke. Aussie Smitty smoked with us last week and he is a great character. This week, another BOTL from abroad is visiting Ireland for a few days, Arild [...]
