The Ramon Allones Phoenicio 40 is a cigar released to celebrate the 40^th anniversary of Phoenicio Trading, one of the biggest Habanos distributors. The cigar, presented last year at a virtual event that happened simultaneously with some tastings in some countries around the globe, was first available in a limited series of humidors.

The other item is a special guarantee seal, decorated with shiny silver foil, embossed spots, and invisible black-light ink.

The Ramón Allones Phoenicia 40 is a 6 1/2 (164mm) x 54 double robusto that is known as the Sublimes vitola, a size shared with a number of other Ediciónes Regional as well as the Cohiba Sublimes Edición Limitada from 2004, the Montecristo Sublimes Edición Limitada from 2008, and the La Gloria Cubana Inmensos , a La Casa del Habano exclusive that debuted in 2010. It will be an extremely large release for an Edición Regional with 450,000 cigars split between boxes of 20 and 440 Elie Bleu humidors of 40 cigars. Those humidors will be split into five themes, with Phoenicians, Mediterranean, Volutes and Horizon each getting 100 units, while a fifth line called Journey will have a production of just 40 humidors.

Phoenicia says all the tobacco used is coming from Hector Luis Prieto’s farm and the cigar will be rolled at the Partagás factory, formally known as Carlos Baliño.
