"Excelentes": Cohiba's New 60 Aniversario Edición Limitada 2026 is Launching in March

[LizardGizmo]

The long rumored "BHK59"/"Atabey"/Fat Pyramid from Cohiba will finally be released in 2026 as a 60 Aniversario Edición Limitada.

Dimensions are 59 x ~140mm (5½″).

Its commercial name will be Excelentes. Its factory name will be - very appropriately - Mitos, or 'myth' in Spanish.

Unique to this cigar, the cigar features no ligero - all medio tiempo. It was originally designed as a new cigar for the BHK line, but Habanos ended up holding it for this year.

Here's a link link to 2024's thread with photos and more details:

I assume that Dr Evil will have crunched the numbers in the price department!

This cigar is called 'Alborada' and will only be available in the auction humidor. I was told the blend is mediocre.

Marco, have you heard anything else about Eternos? I saw this one last year but it seemed like its release type was uncertain/unclear at the time. 

It's great to see a 45rg cigar at that length.

Excelentes/Atabey without ligero...only medio tiempo?

Where is this information from?

That`s not right.

I believe it was directly from Danilo who manages the El Laguito factory.

This is correct. Danilo was very specific about the uniqueness of the blend when we tasted a prototype of the cigar in mid-2024. I spoke to him a few months ago and the blend remains the same. He’s very proud of this cigar - and it is very good.
