Partagás Coronas Gordas Añejados and Hoyo de Monterrey Hermosos No 4 Añejados: an Edición Especial available in limited quantities | |
According to Habanos SA, the new line follows a concept introduced last year which features cigars that have already been rolled and aged in Cuba for five years or more in “perfect” conditions to ensure shades and complexity without the loss of organoleptic characteristics. The cigars become rounder and mellower to the palate through the ageing process, Habanos stated.
The Habanos Añejados are commercialised in their original boxes, with rings and labels added pre-launch. The date of the original rolling of the Habanos can be checked on the bottom of each box. A “Revisado” (checked) stamp indicates that the boxes have been opened and all the Habanos have been individually checked, Habanos said.
Partagás Coronas Gordas and Hoyo de Monterrey Hermosos No 4 Añejados will be available worldwide during the first quarter of 2016.
