UPDATE 2/17: We smoked the Monte. Review here.
Habanos s.a. is set to launch a new line called "Habanos Añejados" that will arrive in stores as "pre-aged" for five years or more before leaving Cuba. According to their press release:
The launching of Habanos Añejados takes place with two vitolas: Romeo y Julieta Pirámides Añejados (52 ring gauge x 156 mm long) and Montecristo Churchills Añejados (47 ring gauge x 178 mm long). Both are new products presented as a special edition in limited quantities which make them unique. In both cases, the Habanos have undergone an ageing process of between 5 and 8 years.
