Spain's Por Larranaga Leones Arrives in Staggering Numbers

The scale of Spain's newest Edicion Regional is the story. The Por Larranaga Leones, a slim 6 1/8 x 42 lonsdale, is reaching stores with 50,000 numbered boxes of ten - roughly half a million cigars - one of the largest regional releases Habanos has ever authorized. At 18 euros it is priced like a daily Cuban rather than a trophy, which may be the strategy: the Leones technically belongs to the 2021 class, arriving years late like many pandemic-era Cuban projects, and a giant run guarantees shelf presence across Spain's La Casa del Habano network. Por Larranaga is a heritage marque with a sweet, honeyed house style and a devoted European following, and the lonsdale format is exactly where that blend shines. For travelers, this is the rare Cuban regional you may actually find at retail prices rather than auction multiples - at least until word gets out.
