I was just perusing one of my favorite cigar sites www.vancouvercigar.com and was delighted to see that they have the new Cohiba Behike cigars already. Here is what they have to say:

• Cohiba Behike, the most exclusive line of Habanos, arrives in Canada with three new formats: BHK 52, BHK 54 and BHK 56.

• Its extremely limited production incorporates for the first time a specific tobacco leaf called “medio tiempo”, which grants exceptional character and flavor.

• Each Cohiba Behike Habanos has a band with two holograms for security identification.

• Also denominated Fortaleza 4, the Medio Tiempo is a very scarce leaf coming from the two upper leaves of the sun-grown tobacco plant. However, not all these plants produce both. Availability of Medio Tiempo will depend on the dedication, care and attention paid to each tobacco plant, considering the changing climatic conditions as well. Due to the foliar position in the plant, the flavor is concentrated with greater intensity in the leaves of “Medio Tiempo”.

•The three vitolas of the new Línea Cohiba Behike are:

- BHK 52 52 x 4 3/4 Factory name: Laguito No 4

- BHK 54 54 x 5 5/8 Factory name: Laguito No 5

- BHK 56 56 x 6 1/2 Factory name: Laguito No 6

The Vancouver Cigar Company has produced a straight forward (and more importantly free) e-book called Cohiba 101 (Cohiba 101 Download).  I downloaded it tonight and gave it a bit of a look over and was surprised about two things: #1) It was relatively pitch free (just good information) #2) I learned a couple of things about the Cohiba.  Also it seems that they actually used some of my reviews that I sent them (Bonus!).

This 101 e-book thing would have been great when I first started smoking cigars.

Cohiba Cigar Blog Entry By Shane

I attended a cigar club reception recently hosted by the Vancouver Cigar Company.  They had a few of these in stock and I have ordered them online from elsewhere but these were fresh out of the humidor.  The Piramide also referred to as a torpedo  is something new to Cohiba (last 3 years)

This is another great addition to the Cohiba family.  This was a complex smoke.  Rich and spicy, and noticeably consistent right until the end.  These are a classic smoke, and meet up to the Cohiba brand.  Like the Maduro 5 they are also great value per dollar overall.

I like an easy draw so that would have to be the only thing that I didn’t find totally satisfying about this one.
