An e-mail from Habanos s.a: New Cigars

[TR]

two year old Trinidad and Cohiba....maduro cohiba yummy!!!!!!

I have trouble just keeping stock of current production that I like. As long as the wrappers are not like the ELs, I think that the maduros could be interesting. Although I wasn't the biggest fan of maduros when I was smoking non-cubans.

» 2005, 2006 in 2006 and 2007 in 2007.

» Anyone seen a Partagas P2 Tubos yet ?

Did this turn out to be a hoax or just never make it to reality or what? Really did want to see these.

[El Presidente]

The P2 Tubos are still scheduled to be released this year. I have not seen any to date.....which is not surprising when it comes to Tubos releases.

I forgot all about the P2 tubos. Man those would be awesome!

» Havana, June 29th, 2006. Corporation Habanos s.a. announced that a

» launching of a new line with Cuban Maduro wrapper within the Cohiba brand

» will occur next year. The statement was made in the Annual Marketing

» Meeting held by the Co. and its Exclusive Distributors from 26 -28 of June

» in Havana city. This announcement means the creation of a third line in its

» flagship brand, after the Classic and Siglo 1492 Lines. Habanos s.a. has

» the coherence with the international leadership of said brand, the Cuban

» Maduro wrapper used to dress these productions is five years aged. Thus,

» -official sources added- the Cuban Maduro Wrapper will have an extra

» ageing adding more uniqueness to this product.”

» 2007 new products will be premiered at the 9th Edition of the Habanos

» Festival, to be held in Havana, Cuba next February.

A few new things are OK but not at the expense of eliminating the great classics like the Partagas Coronas et. al.:-(
