Origin and Price
The Cohiba Behike BHK 52 is from Cuba. In Cuba, it costs $18.50, while in other parts of the world, it ranges from $30.00 - $45.00. It was unveiled in 2010 and has been consistently sold out.
Appearance
The cigar has a virtually seamless wrapper with some veining but no distracting ones. It's firm and evenly packed. It has a pigtail and a darker/redder sheen than a colorado shade leaf. It comes in a lacquered box in a velvet pouch, and the box is sealed magnetically.
Construction
Crafted by Cuba's best rollers, it has an elegant pigtail, perfect cuts at the foot, and a perfectly applied triple cap. The draw is perfect with the right resistance, and the burn is exceptional and consistent.
Flavor
- One third: Starts with a creamy, velvety smoke. Initial flavors are woodsy, earthy, and have slight coffee notes, with a hint of pepper on the finish and balanced saltiness. Hints of vanilla, cocoa, earth, cedar, and citrus appear.
- Two thirds: Primary flavors are chocolaty, woodsy, and coffee. Hints of citrus, vanilla, and sweetness like a thick cocoa or espresso with crema. Leather notes are detected around the halfway point.
- Three thirds: Continues to offer complex and pleasing flavors until the end. Transitions from sweetness to pleasant bitterness are seamless.
Value
Value is debatable due to the high price. But considering the experience, it's worth the money for those who can afford it. It offers a unique and rewarding experience.
Overall, the Cohiba Behike BHK 52 is a top - notch cigar, providing a 70 - minute journey of the senses, though it's not an everyday smoke because of its price.
