Monday was full of surprises for the fans of habanos in the UK. During an industry event at The Hyatt Regency Churchill Hotel in Portman Square, Hunters and Frankau, the official distributor of Cuban Cigars for the UK, presented for the first time the El Rey del Mundo La Reina, the new Edicion Regional for the British market, as well as House Reserve, a collection comprised of the most sought after Cuban cigars aged for up to fifteen years.
"AN AUTHORITY FIGURE IN THE CIGAR WORLD"
HUNTERS & FRANKAU - Founded in 1790, Hunters & Frankau was the first to introduce Cuban Cigars in Britain. Since then, the number of cigar smokers in the UK started growing rapidly year after year, making Hunters & Frankau the most trustworthy establishment to provided aficionados with the opportunity to spoil themselves with the Best Cuban Cigars on the market. Today, Hunters and Frankau is the one true official distributor of habanos for the English market and is, no doubt, an authority figure on the cigar world.
"A COLLECTION OF WELL-AGED RARE CIGARS"
HOUSE RESERVE HUMIDOR - Every year for the last century, Hunters & Frankau was wise enough to store a few boxes of our favourite cigars for ageing, from lustful Cohibas to irresistible Bolivars. Today, these cigars constitute Hunters and Frankau House Reserve, an exceptional collection of well-aged cigars. In particular, the habanos distributors announced that only 5,000 of these cigars will be released annually, under the Rare and Aged banner or in specially designed humidors. On top of the ageing, some of these cigars have additional noteworthy characteristics which can be distinguished into three categories; first releases, discontinued lines, or Limited, Regional, and Reserve editions.

"PAYING TRIBUTE TO THE BUSINESS' FOUNDING YEAR"
1790 SERIES - Part of H&F's House Reserve, the 1790 Series was created as to commemorate the business' founding year. This collection is comprised of only the rarest and most sought after habanos. Each 1790 release will be created inspired by a certain theme, such as limited editions, regional editions, or certain cigar brands.
The first 1790 Series is presented inside a beautifully designed humidor by made by Italian humidor makers DeART S.r.I. Massimo de Munari. The humidor is home to a total of one hundred and seventy cigars, all of which constitute the seventeen UK Regional Editions ever produced from 2005 up until 2017. Only thirty of these rare humidors were created, all of which are numbered and personally signed by Jemma Freeman, the Managing Director of Hunters and Frankau.
