Cohiba Behike BHK 56

90/100
- Cigar Aficionado

"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."

What we think:

The Cohiba Behike 56 is part of the BHK line from Cohiba which is probably the most prestigious range of cigars in the world. The Behike range are the only Habanos cigars to use the special fourth filler leaf, the Medio Tiempo, which is incredibly rare and hard to grow, with only a few leaves from each crop making the grade. This brings a unique intensity to the flavour which is seen as the "holy grail" for cigar smokers.

Behikes are released in extremely limited numbers each year, so if you have the chance to buy some, don't miss it.
