COHIBA

Cohiba is the flagship brand of Habanos. 

It was created in 1966 for President Fidel Castro himself and was made at the then top secret, but now world famous, El LLaguito factory. At first, it was only seen outside Cuba as gifts for heads of state and visiting diplomats. 

Since 1982 Cohiba has been available in limited quantities to the open market. 

The name is an ancient Taino Indian word for the bunches of tobacco leaves that Columbus first saw being smoked by the original inhabitants of Cuba - the earliest known form of a Habano. 

The leaves for Cohiba are the "selection of selection" from the 5 finest Vegas de Primera in San Juan y Martinez and San Luis districts of the Vuelta Abajo zone. 

Uniquely amongst Habanos up to three of Cohiba's filler leaves , the seco, ligero and the rare medio tiempo, undergo an additional fermentation in barrels. This unique process produces a special aroma and flavour you will only find in Cohiba. 

BEHIKE BHK 56 - 'VOTED BEST CIGAR OF 2010' by Cigar Aficionado. Rating: 97

With a limited annual production and the only Cuban cigar to include a fourth filler leaf (medio tiempo). It is without doubt the most exclusive 'regular' production cigar in the Cuban portfolio.

The number of a BHK stands for its ring gauge, so this stout model boasts a diameter of 56/64ths of an inch, which is one of the widest to be found in the entire Havana cigar group. It leaves plenty of room for the fourth component in the filler – the Medio Tiempo – that brings a startling intensity to the flavour.

Mitchell recommendsBehikes have a limited annual production so when they are gone - that’s it for the year. That makes them a candidate for laying down, maturing and collecting and many customers are already making 10 year plans for laying down a quantity of BHK’s annually.

Tasting Notes

The BHK’s have a different blend to the 40th anniversary Behike (aged 5 years) as well as an extra Medio tiempo filler leaf which will give the cigar a very distinct flavour characteristic as this is a dark leaf from the top of the plant.

90/100

"Topped with a small, tight pigtail, this lightly colored cigar burns a bit crookedly, but draws well. It’s toasty and grassy with some drier notes of wood and hay, and richer notes of walnut and café au lait. The finish is rather easygoing..."

Had two of these sent to me by my brother who said they were special. I kept them until the time was right, and that time was on the balcony of the Rafters bar at the twenty ten course at Celtic Manor after playing the course. Glass of wine and a stunning view over the 18th was only eclipsed by the splendour of this cigar. My friend and I enjoyed a the smooth taste and the feeling of utter enjoyment as we puffed away. These are quite simply the best cigars I have had (so far) and so much so that when in Cuba last year felt the need to buy a box!! Worth every penny and for special occasions there's possibly not a finer smoke.
