Release Information
Although officially designated as a 2020 release, the Saudade reached retailers in late 2021. This timing is not uncommon for Regional Editions, which often experience delays between their official release year and actual market availability.

Regional Edition Series
As part of Habanos S.A.'s Regional Edition program, the Saudade was commissioned specifically for distribution in Portugal. These exclusive releases allow each appointed distributor to offer unique vitolas within established brand portfolios, creating highly sought-after cigars for regional markets.
