I found this at cigarcyclopedia.com and posted the link below if you do not have time to read this entire post. Not that we can do anything with these cigars anyway, for info. only.

CUBA’S PLAN FOR 2007

New European Cigar-Cult Journal rips the covers off of 2007

Los Angeles, January 8 – Want to know what the Cubans have in store for 2007? The new issue of the European Cigar-Cult Journal has the answers.

• One of the most eagerly-awaited 2007 releases from Habanos, S.A. is the third line of Cohiba, adding to the Classic and Siglo blends. The Journal has the preview:

> The new line will be called the Cohiba Maduro, featuring wrapper leaves of at least two years old.

> Three short sizes will be offered to start, to be introduced at the ninth Festival del Habano in late February, all of which will have a pigtail head: a fat robusto of 5 1/2 inches by 52 ring; a short robusto of 4 1/2 inches and 52 ring and a petit corona of 4 1/3 inches and 40 ring.

• What about the Edicion Limitada line for 2007? The Journal has the details of the three currently-planned shapes:

> Hoyo de Monterrey Regalos (5 3/4 x 46), in slide-lid wood boxes of 25.

> Romeo y Julieta Escudos (5 1/2 x 50), in wood boxes of 25.

> Trinidad Ingenio (6 1/2 x 42), in varnished boxes of 12.

• The extra-aged Reserva line will be continued in 2007 with a special edition of the Montecristo No. 4 (5 1/8 x 42) in boxes of 20.

• There will also be more Havana cigars in colorful tubes. In addition to the Cohiba Siglo II-III-IV-VI and some shapes of Romeo y Julieta, the H. Upmann Magnum and new Montecristo Petit Edmundo will get the tube treatment.

• Habanos is planning to prune its lines of less-popular shapes. The Journal reported that 44 cigars are slated to be discontinued, including the Diplomaticos No. 1 (6 1/2 x 42) and No. 3 (5 1/2 x 42), El Rey del Mundo Tainos (7 x 47), Partagas de Partagas No. 1 (6 5/8 x 43) and the Sancho Panza Sancho (9 1/4 x 47).

• Three collector’s items available now or in the near future:

> H. Upmann “Antiguo Humidor,” previously announced and reproducing an old-style box, holds 50 cigars of 6 5/8 inches and 49 ring. A total of 200 were made.

> A Montecristo leather-covered portable humidor holding 10 Edmundos (5 x 52).

> A new Coleccion Habanos “book-style” humidor holding 20 Trinidad cigars of 6 inches and 52 ring. Only 500 of these items were made and are generally available only at Casa del Habano shops worldwide.

Wonder how much those Reserva #4's will go for? I can't say I would actually pay it. Why pick the most produced cigar Cuba has to offer?

Good question Todd.

I wonder how much those maduro Cohibas will cost. I notice they will release the small sticks first in Feb. at the Festival. I am sure not to scare the shit out of everyone at the festival with the higher priced larger sticks. The normal line up is already bordering rediculously high, these will be even higher by 10-15% I would imagine.
