Cohiba Behike!

Hello Gents!

What do you guys think of the Cohiba Behike (regular line)? I know that CA has named the Behike 52 as the number 1 of 2010, but I wonder if this cigar is really worth it.
I have picked up a 56 in Toronto at La Casa del Habano, but....it came with a 93 dollar price tag. Has anyone else tried this cigar line?

-Regards and Long Ashes!

    I have tried each of the 3. They are absolutely worth it to me, but not at the price you mention. You can find them for $30 to $40 a stick. It's still a lot of money.

    I heard these cigars were great, like the cubans of old...and would get even better with a few years of age on them.

    I heard somewhere that unlike most blenders in Necaragua, Honduras, DR, Cuba never ages their cigars - they just roll 'em and ship 'em out immediately. Anyone know if there's any truth to this?

    That may be the case coming out of Cuba but the authorized distributer for each country will store them in their warehouses...I frequently get boxes that I know my B&M is ordering from Havana House here in Canada and they come typically with 1-3 years on them from the date stamp on the box...

    This is a cigar I would love to get my hands on, but can't imagine paying $50-$90 for one. I could handle $30-$40 for a single or two, but that's about it.

    Sort of. It's not that they don't age the cigars once rolled... not a lot of people do that. It's that the tobacco used in rolling is not aged like most places. They simply complete the curing process, and roll it up.

    I just saw these at Casa del Habano while in Mexico. They came with a $45 price tag and I just wasn't willing to drop that much on one cigar at the moment.

    Cohiba Behilke is one of the best cigar in the world...period. Do not be fooled by the negetive media about the Cuban cigar. As Diamond dog mentioned, good cigar stores age the Cuban cigars in their humidor for a while before they release them to their customers. Some regular Cuban line has some issue like any other cigars from Nicaragua, DR, Honduras and others. But the top Cuban line cigars are the gems, specially Behike. I just got five boxes recently and aging them. I got three boxes a year ago and after a year they are even smoother, more balanced and round flavored. Cuba has gone through a massive quality control process last couple of years and coming up with great cigars in terms of construction, aging and marketing. it is the matter of time when people will realize about the quality of Cuban cigar. In fact, Cuban cigars are still number one choice outside The United States.

    Behike is excellent but you can also smoke other Cuban with less money. try Cohiba Lancero, Siglo Line, Esplendido, Trinidad, San Cristobal La Habana, Don Alejandro Robina, Partagas series P no.2, H. Upmann Royal robusto, if you like mild to medium then Cuaba. there are many brands you can enjoy cheaper than Behike. The Cuban cigar has very distinctive taste, flavor and aroma.

    LOL...no my friend. DR has some good cigars as well. The Fuente makes some excellent cigars. DR's Piloto Cubano tobacco has also a very distinctive flavor. However, once Cuban cigars are available to the market, it will definitely throw a huge challenge to the other cigar maker countries. please remember great Davidoff cigars come from DR but when Davidoff start using Cuban tobacco again that would the best time in my life.

    There is also Padron from Nicaragua. their Family Reserve and 1926 line is also excellent smoke but they also use some wrapper from outside Nicaragua. Though some of them are 5-10 years aged tobacco but still can be little harsh. When they say certain years of aged, they never say is it the wrapper, fillers or the binder. I believe it is the fillers only. I always age them +1 year before I smoke a Padron. Padron also has a very unique taste, flavor and aroma. A true non-Cuban aged cigar is La Aurora vintage 2003: wrapper, fillers and binder all of them are from 2003. Many cigar makers use the term aged,vintage without clarifying it. Now a days the term vintage is a tricky marketing tools.

    I smoked couple of cigars blended with Cuban, Dominican, Peruvian, Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos. They were awesome smoke. Anything with good Cuban tobacco is awesome.

    behikes are the type of cuban cigar u could buy and age 30 years and then sell at auction. I would age a behike a min. of 7 years before I'd smoke it.

    I had a 52 about 6 weeks ago, granted it was good, but for $32ish a stick it is hard to justify. I would love to smoke one again and to smoke more, hopefully with age, but I wouldn't hesitate to rest these, nothing to make me go buy more right now for that price tag...just my 2c.
