这款好友的LCDH版本是2018年9月上市的，当时是在波兰的华沙举办的一次雪茄活动中推出的。雪茄名为Escogidos，西班牙语是“精选”，每盒10支装，49环径，7.125英寸。这个尺寸在古巴雪茄厂里被称为Pacos。这个尺寸是同圣克里斯托瓦尔（San Cristobal de La Habana）的 El Morro（埃尔莫罗）一样的，也与当年发布的潘趣香港地区限量版大卫爵士（Punch Sir David）尺寸一样。

好友精选的首发仪式是哈伯纳斯公司在德国、奥地利、波兰地区的经销商德国第五大道贸易公司（Fifth Avenue Products Trading GmbH）组织的。

当年，好友精选LCDH是哈伯纳斯公司发布的第二款专卖产品。第一款是在保加利亚推出的圣克里斯托瓦尔的普拉多（Prado），但这款普拉多是既可以在哈瓦那之家买到，也可以在哈瓦那专家店（Habanos Specialists）买到。

哈瓦那专家门店计划是2011年推出的，当时是对不符合哈瓦那之家零售门店要求（主要是营业面积要求）的零售门店，归类为哈瓦那专家店。

2018年时，全球的哈瓦那专家店有930家，而哈瓦那之家门店有144家。

The Cuban Hoyo de Monterrey Escogidos is launching on Wednesday at a cigar event held in Warsaw, Poland, and will be sold exclusively through La Casa del Habano shops, the international network of official Habanos retail stores. The standard secondary band identifies the cigar as a La Casa del Habano exclusive.

The party is taking place at an event space located in the Krakowskie Przedmieście, one of the most historical streets in Warsaw known for its old churches, buildings and monuments. It was organized by Fifth Avenue Products Trading GmbH, the official distributor of Cuban cigars for Germany, Austria and Poland.

The word escogido translates to “chosen” or “selected” and refers to both the exclusivity of being chosen as a La Casa exclusive, as well as the tobacco sorting and selection process.

Packaged in 10-count boxes, the Hoyo de Monterrey Escogidos measures 7 1/8 inches by 49 ring gauge (also known as a Pacos in Cuban factories), the same size as the San Cristobal de La Habana El Morro, and the newly announced Punch Sir David, a Regional Edition cigar made for the Hong Kong market.

Hoyo de Monterrey Escogidos is the second La Casa exclusive announced so far this year. The San Cristobal de La Habana Prado will be launching in October in Sofia, Bulgaria. This cigar will also be a La Casa del Habano exclusive, but will also be available to Habanos Specialists.

There are approximately 144 La Casa del Habano shops across 65 countries, and each year Habanos S.A. produces cigars that are made especially for those retail locations.

The Habanos Specialists program began in 2011 as a designation for cigar retailers who don’t meet the stringent space requirements of a La Casa del Habano; as of February, there were 930 Habanos Specialists around the world.
