In this long interview, Henke looks towards his past and describes his background as an engineer student before he worked in tobacco.

He talks about his 8 years in a cigarette factory before moving on to cigars as well as the first blends he made for Griffin and Avo before meeting Dr Schneider from Davidoff. During this, he explains why he believes that Davidoff wanted to work with him in particular and what he would offer to the brand.

Henke also reveals how he came to work with Davidoff as well as the challenges he faced when making the first blends. He also details the innovations that he introduced to Davidoff and his factory in order to produce better quality tobacco in the fields for the cigars.

Furthermore, Henke explores his present by recounting a regular day, which for him starts at 5am. During this, he tells us about the time he spends in the factory as well as the importance of shaving!

Of course, Henke also talks to us about his favourite Davidoff cigars. Although he says that talking about a favourite is like comparing his own children, there are one or two blends that make him proud. Nevertheless, you'll be surprised by what he prefers to smoke the most!

We learn about Henke's passion for cigars as he tells us what they represent and compares the smoking experience to how the natives would use tobacco to communicate with their gods. Similarly, Henke tells us how the cigar is a true friend and the best time to enjoy one.

Finally, Henke touches on the future and how his legacy is important to him.

REMEMBER to comment! We'd love to hear what you think about this limited edition, other limited editions, and any other cigars you'd like us to feature on Bespoke Unit!

Yours,

The Bespoke Unit Team
