Sounds like you've FINALLY come to the right place @MikeinKS. You may have gotten burned on those Behikes but at least you've finally found this great community and can now learn from the vast knowledge that's assembled here. I think I learn something new here almost every day. Welcome and best of luck on your next purchase. I suggest picking up something from the 24:24 here or the online store. Cheers!

Thank you all for the replies.  A little honest "harshness" never hurts.  I'm going to try to download some pics of the box.  The bands had the hologram and everything.  The smokes were perfectly uniform and incredibly smooth.  Lots of body and no bite.  I've ordered the New to Cuban Sampler and will have a really hard time waiting for it to arrive and then being disciplined enough to let them settle a bit.  If this is the worse burn I get, I'll be a happy man.

I really hope you didn't get too burnt. Price is often an indicator too - real 56s don't go for less than US$70 each. "Too good to be true" is usually true.

Wow! That is all I can say about this box of Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2. Rob described them as dusky maidens and they look and smell amazing... UEB ABR 18

Best “bang for the buck”

Just came in today from our host from a recent 24:24. I hear production on these this year is solid. Looking forward to seeing how they smoke. ☺️ Wrappers are gorgeous and construction is top notch! Choix ?

I actually prefer this packaging, can't stand all those piano lacquer boxes. This box reminded me of the golden days of SKA and 2tone records, to which 'The Specials" were signed to

Funnily enough, the UK once again looks like Margeret Thatchers "Ghost Town"

I received my prize today.  Much thanks to our generous host! ??

Nice... So are these boxes older or newer? I would assume older, but also if you don't mind, how about show us a pic of the cigars.

There's a group of guys here that I know who consistently buy the exact same fake Behike's. They look good and apparently smoke good. I haven't had the stomach to tell them, sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Surely they must know if they keep buying them. Especially being active forum members here. Right? lol I would just buy the bhk custom rolls

My first ER since the RA 898, simply coudn't resist.

 

This cab surely ticked all the right boxes . . . Half-wheel, one of my favourite formats, and from the brand which made me fall in love with cubans ( the cigars i mean )
