It\u2019s a size that has been used for numerous other Edici\u00f3n Regional releases, but is perhaps best known for being used for the Cohiba Genios, part of the brand\u2019s maduro line.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond being an Edici\u00f3n Regional release, the cigars celebrate the 55th anniversary of Coprova S.A.S., the distributor of Habanos S.A. products in France. The secondary band features a special design that recognizes the occasion and the cigars\u2019 status as an Edici\u00f3n Regional. \u201cThis Regional Edition dedicated to the French market crowns more than half a century of passion, commitment, and transmission of the Habano culture in France,\u201d the company said in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>Production is limited to 4,000 boxes of 50 cigars, with pricing set at \u20ac1,750 ($2,008) per box and \u20ac35 ($40.16) per cigar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Images courtesy of Coprova S.A.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"Avatar photo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Patrick-Lagreid-Headshot-96x96.jpg\"  class=\"avatar avatar-96 photo\" height=\"96\" width=\"96\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/halfwheel.com\/author\/patrickl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Patrick Lagreid<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work \u2013 every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it\u2019s about so much more than the cigar \u2013 it\u2019s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I\u2019m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA&#8217;s Phoenix Mercury and the G-League&#8217;s Valley Suns. I was previously the PA announcer for the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League, and Goodyear Ballpark, spring training home of the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians.  I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I&#8217;m a voiceover artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"France will soon be getting a new Edici\u00f3n Regional release, as the Bol\u00edvar Evento 55 is scheduled to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37663,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[26290,26291,26292,370,5,26293,26294],"class_list":["post-37662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-france","tag-bolivar-cuban","tag-bolivar-evento-55-edicion-regional-france","tag-coprova-s-a-s","tag-cuba","tag-france","tag-genios","tag-habanos-s-a"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37662\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37663"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
