Cohiba Behike 54

Cohiba Behike 54 – Cuba’s Most Prestigious Cigar

The Cohiba Behike 54 is widely regarded as the finest expression of Cohiba’s legendary BHK line, the most prestigious cigars produced by Habanos. Introduced in 2010 and hand rolled exclusively at El Laguito, the historic Havana factory that has crafted Cohiba since the brand’s creation in 1966, the Behike 54 is built in the Laguito No.5 vitola at 144 mm (5.7″) with a 54 ring gauge, wearing the instantly recognisable triple BHK band.

Its defining ingredient is the ultra-rare medio tiempo leaf, an extra small leaf found only at the very top of certain Cohiba plants and produced in strictly limited volume. Medium bodied with roughly 45 minutes of smoking time, the Behike 54 balances the precision of the 52 with a fuller, rounder canvas for its flavours to develop.
