The Mystery Torpedo – Cohiba’s 60th Anniversary Surprise?
The build-up to the 2026 Festival del Habano is already wild. With Cohiba celebrating its 60th anniversary, speculation is flying about what Habanos will pull out of the hat. And the latest whisper is as intriguing as it gets: a new Cohiba Edición Limitada, in a shape the brand has never done before.
The talk is of a short torpedo with a pigtail cap — an unusual format for Cohiba, combining elegance with a punchy, compact profile. Pictures have been floating around in certain circles for months, and some believed they hinted at a new “Behike 59.” But the word now is: there will be no Behike 59. Instead, those images were teasers of something else entirely — a one-off 60th Anniversary Limited Edition Cohiba.
Why This Rumour Has People Buzzing
Unprecedented format. Cohiba has never had a short torpedo with a pigtail in its official lineup. The silhouette alone would make it instantly iconic.
Behike confusion. The Behike name carries massive weight, so when those images leaked, many assumed “BHK 59” was coming. The rumour now is that Habanos has no plans to expand Behike. Instead, the anniversary cigar will stand alone — bold, unique, and mysterious.
Collectability written all over it. Anything Cohiba and “limited” sends collectors into frenzy. Add in an oddball size and 60th-anniversary branding, and this cigar could be one of the most hunted Cohibas of the decade.
Speculation on taste. A shorter, thicker torpedo could deliver Cohiba’s signature profile in a denser, more concentrated way. Smokers are already imagining whether this will be a flavor bomb or a more restrained celebratory smoke.
My Thoughts
If this rumour comes true, it’s a masterstroke from Habanos. Instead of tinkering with Behike, they would be creating a standalone 60th anniversary Cohiba that no one saw coming — and that immediately separates itself from the core lines.
A short, fat torpedo with a pigtail would be unusual, memorable, and highly collectible. It would fuel instant hype and, without doubt, sky-high secondary prices. I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes one of those cigars people talk about years from now: “Where were you when the Cohiba 60th was launched?”
Whether it’s real or just smoke in the wind, the suspense is half the fun.
