Key Features

• Type: Multi-brand Selección Habanos selection box

• Vitola / Size: Pirámides (pyramid format) — approx. 156 mm (6⅛″) × 52 ring gauge (typical for Selección Pirámides format) 

• Release Year: 2011 (box dated / Selección Habanos edition)

• Contents: One Pirámide from several Habanos brands (e.g. Cohiba, Montecristo, Partagás, Hoyo de Monterrey, Romeo y Julieta, etc.) — curated as part of the Selección Habanos multi-brand release series

• Production: Designed to be a premium gift or sampler set, emphasizing diversity in profiles yet uniform luxury presentation 

Flavor & Experience

• Strength / Body: Varies by brand, but generally medium to medium-full — the Selección box aims for coherence among pyramids from different lines

• Aromatics: Expect layered aromas of cedar, earth, leather, nut, and dried fruit, specific to each brand

• Smoke Profile:

  • The pyramid format tends to deliver a more concentrated draw in the early thirds, evolving to broader flavor transitions as the ring gauge expands

  • Each cigar in the box offers a distinct journey — from smoother, aromatic styles (e.g. Romeo y Julieta) to fuller, richer ones (e.g. Partagás)

• Estimated Duration: Each Pirámide may last approximately 60–90 minutes depending on pace and draw

Appeal & Significance

• The Selección Habanos line is a collectible concept by Habanos S.A., creating premium multi-brand gift sets or sampler boxes. 

• Selección Pirámides has been one of the iconic types within this line, highlighting the pyramid vitola across multiple Havana brands.

• Because it is a curated set from 2011, this edition holds both nostalgic and collector value, especially for fans who want to compare pyramids from multiple houses in one box

Storage & Enjoyment Tips

• Humidor Conditions: Store at ~20 °C with 65 – 70 % RH

• Acclimatization: Allow the cigars to rest 1–2 weeks after shipping to settle

• Pairings:

  • Cognac (VSOP / XO)

  • Aged rum

  • Medium-bodied single malt whiskies

  • Delicate red wines (e.g. Pinot Noir) that complement rather than overpower

• Smoking Advice:

  • Use a sharp, precise cut to preserve the tapered head

  • Warm the foot gently before lighting to promote an even burn

  • Because each pyramid gives a tighter draw initially, don’t over-draw — allow it to open gradually
