I was just perusing one of my favorite cigar sites www.vancouvercigar.com and was delighted to see that they have the new Cohiba Behike cigars already. Here is what they have to say:

• Cohiba Behike, the most exclusive line of Habanos, arrives in Canada with three new formats: BHK 52, BHK 54 and BHK 56.

• Its extremely limited production incorporates for the first time a specific tobacco leaf called “medio tiempo”, which grants exceptional character and flavor.

• Each Cohiba Behike Habanos has a band with two holograms for security identification.

• Also denominated Fortaleza 4, the Medio Tiempo is a very scarce leaf coming from the two upper leaves of the sun-grown tobacco plant. However, not all these plants produce both. Availability of Medio Tiempo will depend on the dedication, care and attention paid to each tobacco plant, considering the changing climatic conditions as well. Due to the foliar position in the plant, the flavor is concentrated with greater intensity in the leaves of “Medio Tiempo”.

•The three vitolas of the new Línea Cohiba Behike are:

- BHK 52 52 x 4 3/4 Factory name: Laguito No 4

- BHK 54 54 x 5 5/8 Factory name: Laguito No 5

- BHK 56 56 x 6 1/2 Factory name: Laguito No 6

Is it just me or do you collect and save Cohiba cigar boxes too? Well I
personally think that all Cohiba cigars are the smoke of the gods, so the
cigar boxes to me are just as valuable (And apparently to people on ebay
too lol). You see, Cuban cigar boxes are pieces of art as far as I’m
concerned. Did you know that even the stickers and labels on a cigar box
is placed by hand. Talk about attention to detail. I just think that the
Cohiba cigar boxes (Actually all cigar boxes) are highly underated when it
comes to overall packaging of a product. Cigar boxes are not only
beautiful what have practical use for your Cohiba cigars such as the cedar
(that you can use to light your cigar as wood is THE choice for lighting a
cigar) and the box itself that can keep your cigar babies cool. So my hope
is that you are collecting your cigar boxes because what kind of person
throws real art away anyways?

Please excuse my excitement, but the 2008 Habanos Collection is dedicated to my favorite brand, the Cohiba! I literally fell out my chair when I heard about this one. Habanos (Where they officially make Cuban Cigars) just announced that they Sublimes Extra is the vitola chosen for the Cohiba Habanos Collection. That is like one of my favorite sizes of all time!

As I suspected, the case would resemble a book shaped style (Part of it’s history) and this time, it represents the Volume No. 8 of this Special Series. This package would carry 20 Sublimes Extra Cigars to symbolize the brand as one of the greatest smokes ever.

What really stands out in this release is that it quiet adequately represents the Cohiba, Habanos says that all the Cohibas in this package are guaranteed to have excellent draw and gorgeous aroma. Can’t wait to get my hands on these babies!
All I have to say is thanks Habanos. Every year, you guys just seem to pull through - KUDOS!
