Cohiba Behike BHK 54

Tasting Notes:

Top 25 Cigars of the Year 2013 - #5

94/100

"A bold, leathery smoke with a solid earthy core and pleasant notes of coffee bean. This Behike is rich, flavorful and eminently memorable. Cohiba Behike BHK 54s are among the most expensive of Cuban cigars, but when they deliver this type of standout flavor, we believe they are worth the expense."

What we think:

The Cohiba Behike 54 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.
