Cohiba Behike BHK
Cohiba Linea Clasica
January 9, 2022
In addition to the Línea Clásica, the Línea 1492 and the Línea Maduro 5, Cohiba Behike will be the fourth series within the top brand Cohiba. Due to the limited availability of the tobacco used, these cigars are only available in limited quantities. For the first time in the world of Cuban premium cigars, a fourth inlay tobacco is used for Cohiba Behike, which is called “Medio Tiempo”. It describes the two leaves at the top of the tobacco plants that are grown under the free sun. However, not every plant forms these leaves and after careful selection and storage, only a limited amount is available for the production of the Cohiba Behikes.
The Medio Tiempo brings with it an enormous variety of flavors and distinctive strength that is unparalleled in the world of cigar.
The cigars are therefore aimed primarily at experienced and demanding aficionados.
Only a selection of the best tobacco from selected plantations in the San Luis and San Juan y Martinez regions in the Vuelta Abajo provides the basis for these special cigars.
In the Cohiba manufactory “El Laguito”, a group of the best torcedores has been specially trained to manufacture the cigars of the Línea Cohiba Behike.
The packaging and design of the Behike is also new and unique. They are only available in high-quality lacquered boxes of ten. The cigars have a completely redesigned ring with two holograms.

The cigar itself is a very impressive specimen, obviously well-constructed. There’s a light to medium chocolate brown wrapper that has a very strong barnyard smell with a bit of hay thrown in. The BHK is also very firm when squeezed, almost hard, really and feels almost too large to smoke when you put it in your mouth, what many would call a jawbreaker. It also has a small pigtail cap that has been perfectly applied.
The band is, quite simply, the most amazing band I have ever seen on a cigar in my life, and it truly must be seen to be believed.
The cigar cut easily, and the first third starts with an impressive amount of spice out of the gate, along with flavors of cedar, hay and earth. There is some sweetness as well, but not much of it, it is really more of a background note at this point.
