Finally, one of the Cohiba greatest secrets came to light. Behike from Cohiba, taking the name of the doctor of the Taino Tribe for the 40th anniversary of the Cuban brand. Launched with a promise of setting a new standard among smokers, this cigar is all set to go on sale in mid June. Said to be the most expensive cigar produced by Cohiba), it has generated a lot of excitement and anticipation among cigar enthusiasts.

Simon Chase, a semi-retired director of the British cigar importers Hunters & Frankau, founded in 1790, said: There is a particular type of rare leaf in the Behike… there is something in the blend that makes it very interesting, very special. I’ve been in the cigar business fo 30 years… and I would say that this will make a very serious bid to become the best cigar in the world.

The rare leaf is a part of the tobacco plant called the medio tiempo, taken from the upper leaves of the plant, but which not every plant produces, making it rare.

These cigars come with an Elie Bleu designed humidor, made with the best decoration materials in the world; Galuchat, black ebony, mother of pearl, sycamore, cedar and ox bone. The humidor will also be personalised with its number, the cigars number and the owner’s name. Only 100 humidors, with 40 cigars each will be sold upon exclusive order of Habanos distributors for the price of 15000 euros each, double ringed and numbered from 1 to 4000. That’s why the best plants of Vuelto Abajo and growers were selected and manufactured by Norma Fernandez.
The cigars measurements are 52 ring gauge by 192 mm length (perfect combination of Siglo VI and Lancero respectively)
