Spain Goes Skinny With Regional Edition Por Larrañaga Coming Next Week
Most new Cuban cigars, especially Regional Editions, are considerably fat, but Spain is going in the opposite direction. Next week, retailers around the Iberian country will be receiving the Por Larrañaga Leones, a long, slim corona that’s the same size as the Cohiba Siglo III and the Montecristo Tubos.
Made exclusively for the Spanish market, the Por Larrañaga Leones measures 6 1/8 inches by 42 ring gauge and will retail for 18 euros each (about $19.30) or 180 euros per 10-count box, which works out to around $193. Only 50,000 boxes are being produced.
Like many Cuban releases, this cigar comes late, as the Por Larrañaga Leones were supposed to have launched in 2021. They are distributed by Tabacalera S.L.U., Spain’s official Habanos importer.
