Cohiba Behike 52 Cigar – Single

The Cohiba Behike 52 incorporates the rare ‘Medio tiempo’ tobacco leaf, harvested from the two top leaves of sun-grown Cuban plants. The filler combines Volado, Seco, and Ligero leaves sourced from Cuba’s Vuelta Abajo region. Limited annual production ensures exclusivity, with each cigar measuring 133 mm in length and a 52-ring gauge.

This medium-to-full-bodied cigar features Ligero leaves aged for optimal flavor. Initial tasting notes include leather, earthy wood, and cocoa, transitioning to vanilla, roasted nuts, dried fruits, and honey. A refined spiciness balances the profile, maintained by a consistent combustion rate and open draw.

Handcrafted construction utilizes a triple-seam cap and uniform bunching technique. The Behike 52’s blend includes Seco leaves from San Juan y Martínez farms and Volado leaves from San Luis. The Medio tiempo leaf contributes higher sugar content and oil concentration compared to standard viso leaves.
