When was the San Cristóbal de la Habana La Cabaña Edición Regional Cuba released and where was it sold?

Released in 2018 as part of the Edición Regional program, this cigar was distributed exclusively within Cuba, designated with the "Exclusivo Cuba" band. Unlike most Regional Editions created for international markets, this release targeted Cuban domestic consumers. The naming honors the Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabaña, the historic fortress guarding Havana's harbor entrance, maintaining San Cristóbal de la Habana's tradition of referencing Old Havana's defensive fortifications.

What are the flavor profile and strength characteristics of the San Cristóbal de la Habana La Cabaña?

This medium-bodied smoke delivers the marca's characteristic subtlety with greater complexity than standard production lines. Initial notes of cedar and toasted bread develop into coffee bean and cocoa, with a distinctive nutty sweetness emerging in the final third. The 50 ring gauge allows the blend to express more depth than the brand's traditional Laguito and Coronas Gordas formats. Construction quality typically shows firm draws with even combustion, though some examples benefit from additional aging to soften any youthful edge.

The cigars are housed in numbered varnished semi boîte nature boxes, with each container holding 10 cigars. The total production run was limited to 10,000 cigars, making this a genuinely scarce offering for collectors and enthusiasts.

Release Information

Although designated as a 2017 release, the La Cabaña actually reached the market in late 2019. This timing discrepancy between official classification and actual availability is not uncommon in the premium cigar world, where aging and quality control requirements can influence final release dates.

As part of the San Cristóbal de la Habana brand family, this Regional Edition represents the marca's commitment to providing exclusive offerings that celebrate Cuban heritage while delivering the refined smoking characteristics that discerning palates have come to expect from this respected label.
