2010
90 Miles – This new line from the folks at Flor de Gonzalez will come in 4 sizes with an Ecuadorian Habano Rosado wrapper. The name refers to the distance between Cuba and Key West.

Andiamo – a new line with two different wrappers from the folks who brought you La Perla Habana and Black Pearl.
Aurora 107 – this new blend is dedicating the 107th (?) anniversary of the La Aurora line.
Camacho Plus – a more novice-accessible Camacho. Press. Haven’t heard much more about this, not sure if it’s still coming out.
Cohiba Behike “BK” – a new three-size line from Habanos but not as limited as the original Cohiba Behike. Info here. Take a loan out on the house to pay for these bad boys…
