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.
About this cigar: Experience the bold and complex flavours of the LE 2014 - Cohiba - Robustos Supremos. Notes of wet leather, roasted nuts, and sweet chocolate are complemented by a subtle red pepper zing. Although the finish may be short and the cigar young, its potential shines through.

About these cigars: Following the successful global launch of the 2024 Habanos Limited Edition Trinidad Cabildos Premier pack during Habanos World Days in London earlier this year, we are delighted to now offer the Trinidad Cabildos in the more traditional format of 12 cigars presented in very stylish slide lid wooden boxes.
These much-lauded cigars were unveiled in this format during an event in Doha, Qatar earlier this month. The UK is the first country outside this market to offer these illustrious cigars in this presentation.
The Trinidad Cabildos are presented in two rows of six cigars and, as with the Premier Pack, each cigar will have a foot-band that contains an NFC authentication chip. Known as an Ilustres in the factories of Cuba, this unique size measures 6⅜″ (162mm) x 46 ring gauge and has been made using the classic, approachable medium-bodied Trinidad blend.
It is the fourth Edición Limitada from the brand, following the Ingenios (2007), Short Robusto T (2010) and Topes (2016). These cigars have all been made totally by hand using long filler leaves, all sourced from the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba and aged for a minimum of two years
