About

The Cohiba Behike 52 is considered one of the finest and most exclusive Cuban cigars ever made. Part of the ultra-premium Behike line, these cigars incorporate the legendary Medio Tiempo tobacco leaf — found only at the top of select Vuelta Abajo plants — which gives them an unparalleled complexity and strength. Available in very limited quantities worldwide, the Behike 52 is the benchmark against which all premium cigars are measured.

📜 History

The Cohiba Behike was created in 2006 as a tribute to the legendary El Behike, the supreme cacique of Cuba's indigenous Taíno people. The line became commercially available in 2010. The Medio Tiempo leaves used in the blend are extremely rare, found only in the top two leaves of certain plants in the Vuelta Abajo region of Pinar del Río.
