Cohiba Behike 15 Aniversario Selection
Cohiba Behike 15 Aniversario Selection
Few names in the world of Habanos carry the weight of Behike. To mark fifteen years since this legendary line redefined what a Cohiba could be, Cuba has released the Cohiba Behike 15 Aniversario Selection — a tightly allocated collector's box first presented at the XXV Festival del Habano in 2025. For the serious aficionado, it is as close as one gets to owning the complete Behike story in a single case.
A complete Behike, side by side
Inside a handcrafted presentation box sit the four vitolas that define the range, each wearing a special band created for the anniversary:
- BHK 52 — where the Behike legend began, compact yet remarkably layered
- BHK 54 — the line's most poised and approachable expression
- BHK 56 — generous, deep and built for unhurried evenings
- BHK 58 — the newest and largest format, making its debut within this very selection
Why Behike stands alone
The heart of every Behike is the elusive Medio Tiempo — a leaf that emerges only at the crown of the plant and on barely one in ten plants at that. It holds the most concentrated oils and aromas the tobacco can offer, and it is what gives the Behike its extraordinary richness, power and length of finish. Hand-rolled by Cuba's most accomplished torcedores, these cigars represent the very summit of the Cohiba house.
On the palate
Flawless construction and an effortless draw frame a smoke that unfolds in three distinct movements:
- Opening: creamy and elegant, with toasted nuts, soft florals and a thread of vanilla
- Middle: the Medio Tiempo takes centre stage — earthy depth, dark cocoa and freshly pulled espresso
- Finish: a rising swell of black pepper, burnt-sugar sweetness and mature, cellar-aged tobacco
The four vitolas at a glance
| Vitola | Length | Ring gauge | Typical smoking time |

| BHK 52 | 112 mm | 52 (20.6 mm) | 30–45 min |
| BHK 54 | 144 mm | 54 (21.4 mm) | 60–80 min |
| BHK 56 | 166 mm | 56 (22.2 mm) | 80–100 min |
| BHK 58 | 178 mm | 58 (23.0 mm) | 100–120 min |
Good to know
What exactly is the Cohiba Behike 15 Aniversario Selection?
It is a 2025 limited-edition Cuban cigar box celebrating fifteen years of the Behike line. It gathers the four formats of the range — BHK 52, 54, 56 and 58 — each finished with a dedicated anniversary band.
What makes the Behike blend so prized?
It is one of the only Habanos to feature the rare Medio Tiempo leaf, present on fewer than one in ten plants. That scarcity, paired with master hand-rolling, places the Behike at the top of the Cohiba range.
What is special about the BHK 58?
Introduced for the first time in this anniversary box, the BHK 58 is the largest vitola of the line at 178 mm with a 58 ring gauge — offering the longest and most fully developed smoke Behike has to offer.
Is it genuinely limited?
Yes. Output was deliberately small and the edition was unveiled at the 2025 Festival del Habano, making it a genuine collector's piece.
