Few cigars in the world command the same level of prestige as the Cohiba Behike. Universally regarded as one of the finest cigars ever made, it represents the pinnacle of Cuban craftsmanship, tradition, and exclusivity, and is a definitive demonstration of Cuba's tobacco preeminence.
In this new documentary by Kirby Allison produced in collaboration with Habanos S.A., we set out to explore the story behind one of the world's most exclusive and iconic cigars: the Cohiba Behike. Together, we’ll explore its rich history, the unrivaled craftsmanship in its creation, and its legacy as a global symbol of excellence and luxury.
In the first episode of our three-part series, we set out to discover the origin story of this icon. From the 2006 release of the Cohiba 40th Anniversary Humidor which introduced the world to the name "Behike" for the first time, to the decision by Habanos S.A. in 2010 to indulge connoisseurs with a standard production cigar of such exclusivity that, until that moment, had never been made before.
So, join Kirby Allison as we travel from London to Havana, Cuba, exploring the magic of one of the greatest cigars ever made, the Cohiba Behike!
Filmed in collaboration with Habanos S.A.
