Cohiba Behike 52

The Cohiba Behike 52 (often referred to simply as the BHK 52) is widely considered the ultimate expression of the Habano. As the most exclusive and highly sought-after cigar in the world, it represents the absolute pinnacle of luxury smoking.

The World's Most Exclusive Cigar

Launched to massive global acclaim in 2010, the Behike 52 instantly secured legendary status by winning Cigar Aficionado's "Cigar of the Year" with a staggering 97-point rating. Crafted in the Laguito No. 4 vitola (4 3/4" x 52), it is rolled in strictly limited quantities each year at the elite El Laguito factory in Havana. What truly sets the Behike line apart from every other cigar on the market is the incorporation of the exceedingly rare Medio Tiempo leaf in its filler blend.

The Magic of the Medio Tiempo Leaf

The Medio Tiempo consists of the two top leaves on a sun-grown tobacco plant. However, these leaves only sprout on a small fraction of tobacco plants, making them incredibly rare. Because they absorb the most sunlight, they develop exceptionally concentrated oils and rich flavors.

By masterfully blending this rare leaf with the finest tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region, the Behike 52 delivers an unbelievably complex and perfectly balanced profile. Right from the first draw, the cigar offers an incredibly smooth, creamy texture. As the smoke progresses, it reveals deep layers of earth, rich roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and a beautifully refined hint of cedar and spice. Despite its robust flavor, it remains elegantly balanced, never turning harsh.

A True Collector's Item

Due to the scarcity of the Medio Tiempo leaf, production of the Behike 52 is highly limited, making it a true collector's item and the ultimate gift for any cigar connoisseur. It comes beautifully presented in a luxurious, black lacquered box of 10.

FAQs

1. What makes the Cohiba Behike 52 so expensive and rare? The rarity and price are driven by the use of the Medio Tiempo leaf—a rare top leaf that only grows on a small percentage of tobacco plants. This leaf provides a unique richness and complexity that cannot be replicated, forcing Habanos to strictly limit annual production.

2. Did the Behike 52 win Cigar of the Year? Yes. In 2010, the year of its release, the Cohiba Behike 52 was named Cigar Aficionado's Cigar of the Year, achieving a nearly perfect score of 97 points.

3. Does this cigar need to be aged? While phenomenal straight out of the box, the Behike 52 ages magnificently. If stored properly in a humidor, resting them for 3 to 5 years allows the complex flavors to further meld and sweeten.
