Ken writes again: Punch ManTua

It takes a "special" individual to make a side hustle out of free cigars. 

 

 

Punch ManTua: Cuban Cigars with Serious Oomph

 

by Ken Gargett

I have previously discussed the plethora of programs put in place by Habanos for special release cigars ad nauseum. As well as the Limited Editions, we have Collections, Selections, Exclusives, Reserves, Grand Reserves, Millenium Reserves, Aged Habanos, Commemorative releases, Special Event releases, and more. It is, however, the Regional Edition Releases (Edición Regional) that have perhaps proved the most ubiquitous.

This program commenced in 2005, and in the intervening years we have seen hundreds of releases. Habanos controls the promotion, distribution, and export of premium Cuban cigars worldwide. The series works by regional distributors for Habanos commissioning special and exclusive cigars for their district. So, if say the Mexican distributors felt their market was keen for double corona from a particular brand, they could submit that and it would be prepared for them, although that is a most simplistic description.

It is then up to Habanos as to whether they accept the recommendation. The order must be for a minimum of 25,000 cigars and the cost of production is paid upfront by the distributor. The distributor can arrange speciality packaging, although two bands has become traditional. One will be a silver and red band, noting Exclusivo, and the name of the region. The other will usually indicate the brand.

Nice article @Ken Gargett, but the Punch cigar link at the end is not associated with the Cuban Punch. 🧐

As Rob loves to tell us, you and the “Interweb” are not compatible. 😂
