A Commemorative Celebration
Few cigars honor their origins like the Vegas Robaina 83 Birthday Humidor, a profound tribute to one of Cuba's most legendary tobacco figures. Released in 2002, this special edition collection was created to honor Alejandro Robaina on the occasion of his 83rd birthday, celebrating the man whose name became synonymous with premium Cuban tobacco cultivation.
This highly exclusive release was produced in extremely limited quantities, with only 83 individually numbered humidors manufactured. In a decision that underscores its collectible nature, the entire production run remained within Cuba's borders and was never distributed internationally, making it one of the more elusive Vegas Robaina releases for collectors worldwide.
Collection Contents
The humidor contains a total of 83 cigars, thoughtfully arranged across three different vitolas. Each size represented in this collection corresponds to standard production formats available in the regular Vegas Robaina lineup.
| Cigar Name | Factory Name | Quantity | Ring Gauge | Length | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Don Alejandro | Prominentes | 40 | 49 | 194 mm (7⅝″) | 17.86 g |
| Familiars | Coronas | 3 | 42 | 142 mm (5⅝″) | 9.29 g |
| Famosos | Hermosos No.4 | 40 | 48 | 127 mm (5″) | 10.86 g |
Construction and Presentation
Every cigar in the collection is entirely handmade, reflecting the traditional craftsmanship that defines the Vegas Robaina brand. The cigars feature the standard Band A design consistent with the brand's regular production offerings.
The humidor itself is a numbered edition piece, with each of the 83 units individually identified, adding to its appeal as a collector's item and preserving the significance of the birthday being commemorated.
