Phoenicia releases Ramon Allones Phoenicia 40. This 6½x54 Edicion Exclusiva will be released next week. On November 8th at a party in Beirut.

Ten years ago, Phoenicia Trading released the Ramon Allones Phoenicia 30. That cigar is now considered to be one of the best Edicion Regional releases ever. And Phoenicia CEO Walid Saleh aims for an even better Ramon Allones Phoenicia 40. 

Saleh was named Habanos man of the year 2007.

All the tobacco for this limited and exclusive cigar comes from the farms of the legendary tobacco grower Hector Luis. And the production takes place at the Portages Factory. Master roller Jose ‘Cueto’ Castelar is responsible for overseeing the production.

The total production is capped at 450.000 cigars. Most of them will come in boxes of 20. 21.602 boxes to be precise. That comes down to 432.400 cigars.

Of those humidors, the Journey is limited to 40 humidors with 40 cigars. The Phoenicians, Mediterranean, Volutes, and Horizon series are limited to 100 humidors of 40 cigars.
