The Serino Royale 20th Anniversary Connecticut incorporates an Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf, while the Serino Royale 20th Anniversary Medio uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper, the Serino Royale 20th Anniversary Maduro utilizes an Ecuadorian habano oscuro leaf and the Serino Royale 20th Anniversary Maduro XX is covered in an Ecuadorian Habano 2000 wrapper.
