Upmann factory take shape to create a unique Habano to satisfy the pleasure of the most demanding smokers. The emblematic Montecristo No. 2 vitola has been the one chosen for this unique production that makes the Gran Reserva of Montecristo.

Its name originates in the literary tragedy of the same name written by William Shakespeare. With the passing of the years, Romeo y Julieta has become one of the best known and appreciated Habanos brands, to a great extent due to the prestige that the “Churchills” vitola has contributed to it. The name “Churchills” brings to our minds a whole imagery of the Habano and its history. Winston Churchill was one of the most devoted smokers of the Romeo y Julieta brand. Since his visit to Havana in 1946, his name was not only used in Habanos rings, but granted to one of the best known vitolas of the brand and of Habanos: Churchills of Romeo y Julieta brand. In 2006, a new vitola called ShortChurchills was added to the portfolio of the brand which, with the evolution of consumer habits, rapidly became a very successful one. In 2010, Habanos, S.A. presents a new vitola in the Romeo y Julieta portfolio that includes historical name Wide Churchills. We hope that this format, unique in the Habanos range because of its dimensions, will be rapidly accepted by the smokers. When smoking this heavy ring gauge, the brand enthusiast will have the possibility to appreciate its balanced and aromatic blend, prepared with selected leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region. Today Romeo y Julieta enjoys great prestige throughout the world and offers one of the most extensive range of sizes in Habanos brands, all totally hand made with long filler, now enriched with the Wide Churchills vitola. This new vitola will delight the true enthusiasts of Romeo y Julieta in an exquisite combination of passion and excellence.

Even though this deluxe habano was the buzzword of the 12th Habano Festival from the opening night, only attendants to the closing gala dinner had the chance to smoke it for the first time. Behike is said to be Cohiba’s best-kept secret and it truly makes good on that assertion because this deluxe habano –which it’s been the talk of the town- will have a very limited production that will make it a valuable possession of only the most exclusive collectors of Cuban premium cigars. This special item should cost some 40 percent more than the price of a Cohiba Siglo VI, one of the most sought-after cigars among smoking connoisseurs, depending on the market. One of its greatest exclusivities is that the Behike is made with the so-called medio tiempo or Fortaleza 4 leaf, pretty rare because it can only obtained from the two top leaves of the sun-grown tobacco plants. However, not all plants generate those two top leaves. It all depends on the dedication, hard work and painstaking care of growers in each plantation and with every plant. But that’s not all; it’s also dependant on changing weather conditions, so that’s why the availability of medio tiempo cannot be used for regular productions. Based on its position, the medio tiempo leaves concentrate intense taste and strength to the utmost, something that makes the Cohiba Behike a collectible item and a cult habano. Moreover, its vitolas consist of three thick-ring habanos and a blend of its own, something that no Cohiba or any other habano brand has ever had. The vitola names will be BHK 52: ring gauge 52 (20,64 mm) X 119 mm long, BHK 54: ring gauge 54 (21,43 mm) x 144 mm long, and BHK 56: ring gauge 56 (22,22 mm) x 166 mm long. To top it all off, their exclusive 10-unit cases –made of precious wood, completely lacquered and in black color- are also newcomers in the large habano family since no Cohiba or habano brand has ever used this format before. The Behike band adds for the first time embossed holographic paper and an exclusive hologram that authenticates these one-and-only habanos. These barely revealed details have only whetted the imagination and the desire to puff on a Cohiba Behike, named after the Taino aboriginals sorcerers. There’s no doubt that the Cohiba Behike is right now the most exclusive line in the large portfolio of Habanos S.A., the world’s leading company in the sale of premium cigars both in Cuba and in the rest of the world. 1 2 3 HABANOS COLLECTION 2009: SAN CRISTÓBAL DE LA HABANA O’REILLY For those Habanos enthusiast’s who seek special productions which instantly become collectible items due to its craftmenship and limited availability, we introduce the Volume IX of the “Habanos Collection”.
