Prestige and pride for cigar connoisseurs.
The first volume in the Habanos Colecciones series was unveiled in 2002 with the Cuaba brand, marking the series' initiation. Every subsequent year, the Spain-based Cuban company captured the global aficionado's imagination by spotlighting one of their unique brands.
While the inaugural edition was limited to 300 copies, subsequent editions expanded to a print run of 500. The skyrocketing popularity of the Cohiba brand and interest in prior editions led to a doubling of the print run to 1,000 copies in 2008. As of 2013, the series extended its circulation to 2,000 copies globally, which further increased to 3,000 in 2019. Despite the growing numbers, the series retains its exclusivity due to high demand.
In the world of cigars, Habanos Books have become a hallmark of elegance, prestige, and discernment. These limited editions, akin to finely crafted literature, offer an endless emotional journey, inspired by their book-like casing, which doubles as an exquisite decorative item for any interior. Thus, the allure to "read" and savor these unique collections remains ever-present.
