The XVIII Habanos Festival is opening its doors today to host the largest international event for lovers of the world’s finest tobacco: the Habano. In this edition, the festival will pay tribute to Cohiba, the most distinguished and exclusive brand of Habanos that is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
At the press conference presided by Leopoldo Cintra González, Commercial Vice-President of Habanos, S.A. and Javier Terrés Ercilla, Vice-President of Development of Habanos, S.A., the year’s major launches were presented, such as the Cosecha Reserva 2012 from the Hoyo de Monterrey brand, in its famous Epicure No 2 vitola; the new Magnum 54 from the H. Upmann brand, that will become part of the regular product portfolio within the successful Magnum Range, and the special edition commemorative Cuaba 20 Aniversario and the Cohiba Medio Siglo.
Further to the launch in the regular portfolio, Cohiba has also released two important special editions. The first consists of a special edition of vintage-style humidors limited to 1966 numbered drawers, with the exclusive Cohiba Majestuosos 1966 vitola and in a unique format (58 mm ring gauge x 150 mm length).

Das ist eine faustdicke Überraschung - als erster chinesischer Autobauer hat Qoros bei einem europäischen Crashtest die Höchstnote geschafft. Bei der aktuellen Euro NCAP-Runde bekam der Qoros 3 Sedan die maximal möglichen fünf Punkte und shnitt damit bedeutend besser als andere chinesische Fahrzeuge ab. 2005 etwa war der Geländewagen Landwind spektakulär an den Sicherheitstests gescheitert. Knapp zwei Jahre später fiel der Brilliance mit seinem Modell BS6 ähnlich glatt durch. Im Euro NCAP-Crashtest bekam das Auto nur einen von fünf Punkten. Der Qoros wird zwar in China produziert, aber ist unter europäischer Leitung entwickelt und designt. Liegt das der Unterschied? Auf jeden Fall sind die Chancen des Qoros, der 2015 nach Westeuropa kommen soll, erheblich gestiegen.
Kennen Sie den Zustand Ihrer Fahrzeugbatterie? Die meisten Fahrer denken erst dann an ihre Batterie, wenn der Motor ihres Fahrzeugs nicht mehr startet. Dies kommt gerade in der kalten und regnerischen Jahreszeit häufig vor. „Extreme Temperaturen, unregelmäßige Nutzung, Kurzstreckenfahrten und das Fahrzeugalter wirken sich auf die Startkraft einer Batterie aus“, so Dr. Christian Rosenkranz, Entwicklungsleiter beim Batteriehersteller Johnson Controls. Er erläutert die vier häufigsten Gründe für einen Batterieausfall und gibt Tipps, wie Autofahrer Startprobleme vermeiden können.
