Just been in Cigars Unlimited getting some Xikar crystals, and they were telling me about this new Cohiba that was launched at the Festival de Habano yesterday. As i have posted before i am a big fan of the Nubs, which are short with a very big ring gauge, which makes them smoke like a Churchill size - apparently the Cubans have taken not of the success of the Nub size, and brought out their own take on it, with a big 56 + ring gauge - it will be launches as a new line of Cohiba. Should be interesting, and v expensive. Its called the Behike Line, and expans on a limited release they did a few years back, but in bigger sizes.
On the subject of the Nubs, i just got a couple of Boxes from a mate in Miami - over here they are 8 quid a pop, but a box of 24 from teh US is only 80 quid, so only just over 3 quid each - i shall be getting some more, and am happy to get another box for the forum if anyone is interested.
