Cohiba - Behike - BHK 56

 
Strength:  medium
Origins:  Cuba
Wrapper:  Habano
Shape:  straight
Length:  6.75"
Ring size:  56
Approx. cost:  $25
Bdawg says:  The BHK 54 size of this cigar was Cigar Aficionado's #5 cigar of 2013.  The BHK 52 was Cigar Aficionado's cigar of the year in 2010.  All Cohiba Behikes are made with a bit of medio tiempo tobacco, small leaves that grow at the very top of some Cuban-seed tobacco plants. That filler component is used as a special ingredient in the Behike blend.

The wrapper is medium golden brown, oily, and very well constructed.  It features a pigtail cap.  The draw is slightly tight producing a whitish gray ash.  The flavor is smooth, leather, coffee, and cashews.  The burn was slow and even.  Very nice!
