Hunters & Frankau House Reserve Series 1790 Collection Humidor - Number One
First humidor of the "Series 1790" collection.
At the launch party for La Reina, the latest regional edition exclusively for Great Britain, Hunters & Frankau, the exclusive distributor of Cuban cigars in the UK, also introduced the new "House Reserve" collection.
Every year since the turn of the century, Hunters & Frankau has been setting aside a portion of its Habanos boxes to age them into the "House Reserve" collection. These boxes are carefully stored under perfect temperature and humidity conditions until, two decades later, the first of these precious cigars are released for sale.
The "House Reserve" collection consists of two series: "Aged & Rare" and "Series 1790".
The first consists of cigars aged for a minimum of ten years and each box is marked with a 10+, 15+ or 20+ to indicate the number of years that have passed since they were rolled, boxed and shipped from factories in Cuba. However, it is not only their age that makes them particularly rare. Some of them have remarkable additional characteristics. They can be divided into three categories:
The First Releases, which are cigar boxes that arrived in the United Kingdom during their launch year by Habanos.
The Discontinued, which are cigars that are no longer in production in Cuba. These are mostly once popular cigars that, for various reasons, have ceased to be rolled. These cigars attract extra attention due to their rarity.
The Edición Limitada, Edición Regional, Reserva and Gran Reserva are cigars whose production was limited at the time of their release and whose rarity is therefore an integral part of their original concept.
All these cigars are stamped with a special seal "H&F - House Reserve - Aged & Rare".
The second, the 1790 series is the crown jewel of the "House Reserve" collection. Named in honour of the founding year of Hunters & Frankau, it consists of the rarest and most sought-after Habanos from the House Reserve. Each collection of the 1790 series will be presented in an exclusive humidor specially made for the occasion and will contain a thematic selection of Havanas.
The first collection in the 1790 series is the Number 1 humidor, which is presented here. Made in a limited edition of only 30 individually numbered humidors by the Italian company DeART, it contains 10 cigars from each of the 17 regional editions produced exclusively for the UK from 2005 to 2017. A total of 170 cigars from 8 different brands are displayed in this exclusive case. To do so, the two sons of Giovanni de Munari, founder of DeART, Alberto and Massimo have drawn on the company's more than 50 years of expertise to create this cigar cellar capable of holding all these rare cigars, of different shapes and sizes, without compromising the perfect storage conditions they require.
Each humidor is equipped with a humidification system and is signed by Jemma Freeman, Managing Director of Hunters & Frankau.
