Cohiba Behike 56

Cohiba Behike 56 – The Grandest Size in Cuba’s Most Exclusive Line

The Cohiba Behike 56 is the largest and boldest ring gauge in Cohiba’s legendary BHK line, the most exclusive and prestigious cigars produced anywhere in Cuba. Hand rolled at El Laguito, the historic Havana factory that has crafted Cohiba since the brand’s founding in 1966, the Behike 56 is built in the Laguito No.6 vitola at 166 mm (6.5″) with a substantial 56 ring gauge, finished with the instantly recognisable triple BHK band and pigtail cap.

Like its siblings, the Behike 56 is defined by the ultra-rare medio tiempo leaf, an extra small leaf harvested only from the very top of select Cohiba plants in strictly limited quantity. Medium bodied with a generous 75 minutes of smoking time, its wide format gives the medio tiempo character the longest, slowest stage on which to unfold.

🍂 Tasting Notes

• First third: honeyed sweetness and soft cedar open gently, with a faint touch of earth.
• Second third: the profile turns creamier, with butter, delicate citrus and a floral, rosewater like lift on the retrohale.
• Final third: salted nut richness and lingering sweetness close a long, measured finish threaded with cedar.
