Celebrating 24 Years of Habanos Ediciones Limitadas
It’s been 24 years since the introduction of the first Ediciones Limitadas—Limited Editions of Habanos, which included Hoyo de Monterrey Particulares, Montecristo Robustos, Partagás Pirámides, and Romeo y Julieta Exhibición No. 2. These limited editions stand out for their distinctive packaging and the exclusive nature of the Habanos they contain. Produced in small quantities, these Habanos feature unusual or unique vitolas and have a minimum aging period of two years. Both the boxes and the cigars are marked with a band inscribed “Edición Limitada” and the year of release.

To date, there have been 68 Ediciones Limitadas across 12 brands. These editions remain highly anticipated and cherished by premium tobacco enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
