  Light-cone QCD sum rules are employed to compute the strong coupling
constants: g_{B^* B^* pi}, g_{B_1 B_0 pi} and g_{B_1 B^* pi}, where (B,B^*) and
(B_0,B_1) are negative and positive parity (0^-,1^-) and (0^+,1^+) \bar qQ
doublets. The couplings are calculated both for finite values of the heavy
quark mass and in the infinite heavy quark mass limit, deriving sum rules for
m_Q \to \infty.
