MikeinKS Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Cohiba Behike 56 - Purchased a box of 25 for what I now know is a VERY good price. Too naive and too excited, so I finished them off in about 10 weeks. I've since learned that this was probably about the amount of time they needed to actually settle before even having one through the gradual aging process. Joining here and reading through the forum is going to be quite the learning experience! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryVT Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Well MikeinKS, Hate to be bearer of bad news but they were fake. Behikes only come in boxes of 10. But that doesn't mean they were not good smokes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorgov2 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 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! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Too good to be true" is usually true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RupertPupkin Posted September 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2018 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 ? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 99call Posted September 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2018 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" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
