The hot days of summer reward us with warm evenings, allowing for the enjoyment of a Cuban cigar while seeing the sun set and the stars arrive as night takes hold. 

 

Some insist only certain beverages such as single malt whisky are meant to accompany a fine Cuban cigar, but I disagree.  Ice water, quality coffee, espresso, dark beers, bourbons, ports and of course fine rums all have their place beside the very top shelf Cuban cigars. 

 

It is really the smokers choice and one can easily experiment to find their own favorite partner beverage.

 

My personal choices are McCallum 18yo, dark fresh roasted coffee anda simple  fruit forward Northern California Pinot.  Avoid cream based drinks as the cream messes with the taste buds needed for cigar enjoyment.


We are always glad to be of service

The Behike Band is changing...  
     

Cohiba Behike, the most exclusive l�nea of the most prestigious Habanos brand, modifies slightly in 2014 its exclusive band by replacing the hologram in its side with a new one with increased features. 

 

First photo is the OLD hologram, lower photo is the NEW hologram on back of band.
 

 
 

OLD band above & NEW band below

This new hologram increases the traceability possibilities and security features detection of the band. 
 

All the three formats: BHK 52, BHK 54 y BHK 56 will incorporate progressively this new hologram's design. The old and new band's hologram will coexist in the market during a few months.

  

Cohiba Behike, is produced each year in extremely limited quantities. Its blend incorporated for the first time the "Medio Tiempo", a leaf that attributes to the cigar exceptional character and flavor.

 

Behike is considered the ultimate expression of the taste and aroma of the Habano.

 

Since it was launched in 2010, the Behike bands bear the Cohiba Indian head in an embossed holographic paper, including an exclusive security hologram in each one of them.

This new band design established a new technological trend in the way the bands of Cohiba would look in the future.

 

Cohiba Behikes are the very top shelf Habanos available in the world. Presented in an artwork box protected by a velvet bag, they are presented in such a way as to be on par with the qualities found in the cigar itself, nothing but the finest.

 
This is a strong side Cuban cigar meant for the seasoned Cuban cigar smoker.  Deep rich flavors await the smoker along with subtle notes that are a delight to find in all three sizes.  Look for the new banding as product is replaced in our inventory through regular sales.

Reviews

 

 

Cohiba Behike 52

4 3/4 x 52 petit robusto

 

   Reviewer D Fraser

 

This is a repeat review of a cigar worthy of being tested again and again. 

 

Since their release this stogie has received accolades for being one of the finest cigars on the planet and while this sounds unreal, I agree with all that has been said to date.

 

The Behike #52 is the smallest of the line with a CA rating of 93 .  The BHK 54 has rated 94 and the BHK 56 has rated 90, so they are all a pretty good bet for smokers of premium cigars.

 

The rare dark media tiempo filler leaves used in this cigar really do offer the smoker a unique experience due to the special filler leaves called Medio Tiempo. Deep rich flavors treat the palette, like dates and figs, dark fruit meats that are not too sweet, combined with burnished leather, A strong dark finish offers dark coffee beans roasting and exotic spices. 

 

My overall rating for this cigar is 96/100. Time on inventory shelves has improved the smoking of this cigar greatly.

 

CA Magazine's most recent rating for this cigar was a 93/100 Aug 2012. They should review it again, I would like to see the results.

Just joking...
Your Chuckle for today
 

A husband and wife were having dinner at a very fine restaurant when this absolutely stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big open-mouthed kiss, then says she'll see him later and walks away.

 

The wife glares at her husband and says "Who was that?" "Oh" replies the husband "she's my mistress".

 

"Well, that's the last straw" says the wife. "I've had enough, I want a divorce!"

 

"I can understand that" replies her husband "but remember, if we get a divorce it will mean no more shopping trips to Paris, no more wintering in Barbados, no more summers in Tuscany, no more Jaguar in the garage and no more yacht club. But.... The decision is all yours".

 

Just then, a mutual friend enters the restaurant with a gorgeous babe on his arm.

 

"Who's that woman with Tony?" asks the wife. "That's his mistress" says her husband.

 

"Ours is prettier" she replies.

A man was driving when he saw the flash of a traffic camera.

 

He figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit, even though he knew that he was not speeding.

 

Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed.

 

Now he began to think that this was quite funny, so he drove even slower as he passed the area again, but the traffic camera again flashed.

 

He tried a FOURTH TIME with the same result.

 

He did this a FIFTH TIME and now was laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past, this time at a snail's pace.

 

Two weeks later, he got FIVE tickets in the mail for driving without a seat belt.

In the greatest days of the British Empire, a new commanding officer was sent to a jungle outpost to relieve the retiring colonel.

 

After welcoming his replacement, and showing the courtesies (gin and tonic, cucumber sandwiches) that protocol decrees, the retiring colonel said "You must meet Captain Smithers, my right-hand man. God, he's really the strength of this office. His talent is simply boundless". 


Smithers was summoned and introduced to the new CO, who was surprised to meet a toothless, hairless, scabbed and pockmarked specimen of humanity, a particularly unattractive man less than three feet tall.

"Smithers, old man, tell your new CO about yourself". "Well, sir, I graduated with honours from Sandhurst, joined the regiment and won the Military Cross and Bar after 3 expeditions behind enemy lines. I've represented Great Britain in equestrian events and won a Silver Medal in the middleweight division of the Olympics. I have researched the history of". ..

Here the colonel interrupted.

"Yes, yes; never mind that Smithers; the CO can find all that in your file". "Tell him about the day you called the witch doctor an "A Hole and a "Fake"".
