Behike 56

[Siglo-Man]

Well after adding the 54s to the collection as soon as I saw the 56s in stock (they usually last for 1/2 a day) I jumped on a box. And today they arrived making my Friday even better. Two sticks had small cracks at the foot but I went with the sealed box option rather then having the vendor open and pad them. I just like sealed boxes. They smell fantastic! Looking forward to one after work.

Does the third one on the left have a crack in the wrapper? If so you better go ahead and fire it up. Let us know how it is.

Yes! I need to see a review of how horrible this cigar is, so I am not tempted to buy them!

I can tell there is a crack even in my blind state. A real shame considering the price.

 

[J-Rod]

a shame about the cracks, but I'm sure they'll taste amazing! beautiful looking sticks!

This was the worst of the 3 sizes in my opinion.

I agree with Jayman, 56 then 52 and 54. They all had a different profile than the regular Cohiba line for sure which was good that it wasn't hype or BS but the 54 was a fine complex smoke IMHO.

 

[Siglo-Man]

Smoked the crippled stick last night and it was a great smoke. Foot cracks are really a non issue unless they start to get worse. 56 was very smooth and delivered a nice range of flavor through out the smoke. I have yet to have a 52 but I enjoyed the 56 just as much as my 54s... maybe a little more since it smoked longer. Really love these. A shame they are so expensive but hey..it is what it is.

Thanks for the follow up. :thumbs: Glad you enjoyed them. Now the question is...would you rather get 5 Siglo VI's or one Behike?

Congrats on your pick up. These pictures are about as close as I will ever be to one.

Edit: Sorry, poor spelling.

I dont want to be a sh*t-starter but I am assuming the price of the box was somewhere near a grand. Getting cigars at that price with cracks just doesn't seem acceptable to me. For about the same price you can get a Opus 22. What would happen if you opened up some coffins and found your chili pepper or BBMF with cracks in it?

Ummm cracks happen? Even with Opus X.

To be more clear, I was referring to the overall quality of construction of ISOM's.

Boxes can be found for a quarter of that..

Which isn't a problem anymore, its true that all rollers have bad days but the QA of the Cuban factories have gone way up.

BTW I can get a box of the Behikes here in Germany (and Germany is expensive) for around 300 (52) to 400 (56) dollars, anyone paying a grand for them is a fool.

They are both different experiences but now having both and it was a choice of the desert island scenario I'd take the Siglos, but back to reality I can enjoy both

I think I too will join the covet group. I have not got into that price point yet.

But, as you said, ENJOY.
