COHIBA BEHIKE 56

BEHIKE BHK 56 - 'VOTED BEST CIGAR OF 2010' by Cigar Aficionado. Rating: 97 - La Linea BHK

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.

Mitchell recommends: 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.
