The middle member of the world-famous Cohiba Behike 3-vitola line, the Cohiba Behike BHK 54 is an elegantly-packaged, thickly-cut, and full-flavored delight.
Cohiba Behike BHK 54 Overview
Building on the success of the iconic Cohiba Behike, the Behike 54 is known for its heavy Medio Tiempo tobacco taste and wide 54 ring gauge. As is the case with all three Cohiba Behikes, this 5¾-inch cigar is partially constructed from the rare and separated Medio Tiempo leaf, then bound, wrapped, and filled in Cuba.
Smoking a Cohiba Behike BHK 54
The Behike 54 has a thick and full taste that is well worth its rather high price. Notably, the wrapping smells of warm hay.
It has a thick ring gauge and the filling contains Medio Tiempo, a delicate leaf found at the top of very few Cuban-seed tobacco plants. This tobacco is fermented separately before being added to the cigar.
This particular leaf lends the cigar a rugged, slightly smoky flavor, yet ensures the draw is exceptionally smooth. The use of Medio Tiempo in a cigar is rare and this does increase the price, as well as providing flavor that’s distinct from most other Cubans.
The Behike 54’s Toro shape is clean, and the iconic BHK label by the cap is a reflection of this cigar’s continued excellence in both flavor and look.
Cigar Value
Although it is a fairly expensive Cuban cigar, the Cohiba Behike BHK 54 delivers a range of hearty, woody flavors. It provides a smooth, memorable pre-draw experience that is both original and satisfying.
Cohiba Behike BHK 54 Experience
This is a cigar for the knowledgeable and experienced cigar smoker. The flavor profile is not only earthy and robust, but also packed with delightful nuggety nuances, like the traces of cedar notes and the light taste of fine coffee beans.
