An exquisite Habano which has become a very collectable piece.
In 2008, the Punch Diademas Extra was scheduled to be released as an Edición Regional series. Unfortunately, there were significant delays, reportedly due to the fact that the first batch of gold foil used the wrap the cigar was lost, the second batch was of unusable quality, and finally, the last batch did not actually arrive until late 2009, and you could not actually buy the cigars until early 2010 in most places.
Interestingly, there have been some boxes with box codes from 2008 that have been found. What this means is that most likely, the cigars were already aged up to two years by the time they reached the open market. The vitola, officially a Diademas Extra, is the re-release of an older regular production size that was discontinued in 1980 and replaced with the slightly longer and smaller ring gauge Diademas Extra, which was also discontinued in 1988.
The Punch Diademas Extra (ER Italia) was a fairly limited release with only 1,020 boxes of 10 cigars rolled for Diadema S.P.A.
