Cuban Cohiba Behike 56*

Behike BHK 56

With a limited annual production and the only Cuban cigar to include a fourth filler leaf (medio tiempo). It is without doubt the most exclusive 'regular' production cigar in the Cuban portfolio.

The number of a BHK stands for its ring gauge, so this stout model boasts a diameter of 56/64ths of an inch, which is one of the widest to be found in the entire Havana cigar group. It leaves plenty of room for the fourth component in the filler – the Medio Tiempo – that brings a startling intensity to the flavour.

Behikes have a limited annual production so when they are gone - that’s it for the year. That makes them a candidate for laying down, maturing and collecting and many customers are already making 10 year plans for laying down a quantity of BHK’s annually.

The BHK’s have a different blend to the 40th anniversary Behike (aged 5 years) as well as an extra Medio tiempo filler leaf which will give the cigar a very distinct flavour characteristic as this is a dark leaf from the top of the plant.

90/100

"Topped with a small, tight pigtail, this lightly colored cigar burns a bit crookedly, but draws well. It’s toasty and grassy with some drier notes of wood and hay, and richer notes of walnut and café au lait. The finish is rather easygoing..."
