Born from a dedication to territory-specific cigars, the Juan López Ideales emerged in 2011 as a distinctive Edición Regional Austria created exclusively for the Austrian market. This special production run was limited to just 2,500 numbered boxes, making it a genuine collector's item for enthusiasts of Cuban tobacco.
Vitola and Dimensions
The cigar presents itself in the Ideales format, known internally at the factory as the Petit Robustos. This compact robusto sizing delivers the characteristic richness of the robusto experience in a shorter smoking duration, ideal for those seeking concentrated flavor without an extended time commitment.
