Cohiba Behike 54 Cuban Cigars – Box of 10
Produced with leaf from the best five farms in Pinar del Rio, this is undoubtedly the most famous and well-known cigar brand in Cuba. It is produced in limited quantities each year and is highly sought after by aficionados worldwide.
A symbol of luxury and rarity due to the complexity of the manufacturing process, Behike first appeared in 2006 to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Cohiba brand.
The name Behike refers to the spiritual leader of the Tainos people, who were the original inhabitants.
Originally, only visiting dignitaries were offered these unique cigars. Eventually, the brand was made available to the wider world, and the rest is history.
What sets this cigar apart from other Cuban cigars is the use of medio tiempo filler leaf that grows at the very top of the plant, it gives a rich, complex and distinctive flavour.
Rolled in the historic El Laguito factory in Havana, the number 54 relates to the ring gauge of this particular Behike, which measures 5 5/8″. In the factory, it is known as a Laguito No 5.
Classed as medium to full strength, the cigar offers wonderful flavours of leather, spice and nuts with additional notes of leather and coffee. Smooth and satisfying the profile will alter as you progress building in strength towards an unforgettable finish.
An experience not to be missed.
