Since 2005, Habanos SA has released Regional Edition (RE) cigar series (Edición Regional). The worldwide Global brands (Cohiba, Hoyo de Monterrey, Montecristo, Partagas, & Romeo y Julieta) are specifically excluded from this series.
The Regional Edition cigars are special limited-production cigars made for specific regional markets on a (normally) once-off basis, for a 2 year period. After this, the cigar will be considered for inclusion in the current production range.
