Behind every Vegas Robaina 5 Aniversario Humidor lies a distinguished commemorative release, celebrating half a decade of one of Cuba's most respected cigar brands. This limited edition collection was crafted to honor the fifth anniversary of the Vegas Robaina marque, which has long been associated with the legendary tobacco-growing traditions of the Vuelta Abajo region.
Release Information
Though originally planned for a 2002 launch, the 5 Aniversario Humidor officially reached the market in 2003. The production was strictly limited, with only 500 individually numbered humidors produced worldwide. Each humidor contains a total of 100 cigars, presented across five different vitolas, with 20 cigars of each size included in the collection.
Every cigar in this special release features a distinctive 5th Anniversary band, marking these smokes as part of this significant milestone celebration for the brand.
Construction
All cigars within the 5 Aniversario Humidor are entirely handmade, maintaining the exacting standards that Vegas Robaina has built its reputation upon.
