Habanos: two novelties and two classics

We have selected four Habanos that can form a good set to keep in mind over the next few months, including two of the latest novelties in Cuban cigars and two more well-known vitolas.


The most habitual aficionados to visit the cigar cellars of our country know that they can choose among Cuban cigars of "the usual" and also choose some of the vitolas that have appeared in recent months as a magnificent selection to enjoy one of their most hedonistic pleasures.


We taste Habanos with the conviction that the delight or pleasure we feel when we light up and fill our mouths with smoke is a true tasting, just as it is done with food or beverages, because the sensations perceived in the mouth cavity can be perfectly integrated into pleasant sensory perceptions.


Delighting ourselves with a Havana cigar is something sometimes as intimate and personal as when we do it alone with ourselves it can also refer to our puffs and the blue smoke of our Cuban cigars as in other moments when we do it in good company.


Most of us look for something in our cigars that is not purely material, something elusive, that is why those who could respond to surveys conducted years ago today would surely do so in the sense that "it cheers our soul and spirit" the fact of being together with our cigars from the moment we choose the desired vitola in the corresponding cellar, when we make the cut, when we light it and, of course, in each of our aspirations.


Therefore, the first of our Habanos of reference for this occasion is the one that is considered the best seller worldwide in recent years, the Partagás Serie D No. 4, because it is a vitola that gathers in itself everything that today's aficionados demand the most, since its format, called Robustos de vitola de galera, has a length (124 millimeters) and a thick filler (50) that in a not excessively long smoking route, the draw is one of the best to facilitate the aspirations.


The second of them is the Trinidad Vigía, a brand that honors one of the most significant colonial cities of the island of Cuba, and which is a cigar launched in 2015, with a splendid reception since then by the lovers of Cuban cigars.


But I have also added to the first two the Diplomáticos Colección Privada II, a Regional Edition exclusive for Mexico that arrived in the cellars a few months ago, which many Mexican smokers and foreign visitors have enjoyed, and which is made in the same factory where the famous Montecristo cigars are produced.


And the last of this quartet, which is not the least appreciated and outstanding, arrived in Spanish tobacconists just a few months ago under the name of Montecristo Wide Edmundo, as it is one of the most modern works of the brand, with a unique format (125 x 54) that offers a splendid shot and the assurance that the dense smoke will fill the mouth cavity with pleasant flavors.
