Cohiba Behike 54 Cigar – Single

The Cohiba Behike 54 measures 143 mm in length with a 54-ring gauge. Released in 2010, it uses rare tobaccos from Cuba’s Vuelta Abajo region, including Ligero leaves known for concentrated flavor. The blend incorporates aged filler and binder leaves from San Juan y Martínez and San Luis farms.

Initial flavors present earthy tones with leather and cedar undertones, transitioning to vanilla and dark chocolate mid-cigar. The final third reveals roasted nuts and dried fruit nuances. Combustion remains even due to triple-seam cap construction, with smoke output reaching 25-30% above standard Cohiba vitolas.

• Wrapper: Medio Tiempo sun-grown leaf
• Minimum fermentation period: 3 years
• Humidity stability: 68-72% RH range

Production involves 15 dedicated torcedores at El Laguito factory, each rolling fewer than 50 cigars daily. The Cohiba Behike 54 undergoes six quality inspections, including draw resistance tests maintaining 1.5-2.0 psi airflow pressure. Boxes feature sequential numbering with UV-reactive security ink.

Storage recommendations suggest 65-68°F environments using Spanish cedar humidors. Pairing compatibility extends to aged rums over 15 years or single-origin coffee with 70-75% cocoa dark chocolate. Annual global allocation remains under 5,000 boxes across authorized Habanos distributors.
