Cohiba Behike 56

You might want to reconsider doling out one of these precious smokes to anyone, let alone a beginner smoker. The Cohiba Behike BHK 56 is such a fine cigar that it deserves to be appreciated by those who accept the best of the best and nothing else.

The biggest of its kind at 6 1/2 inches by a girthy 56 ring gauge, this cigar is somewhat of a behemoth. Classified as a double robusto, the 56 imparts a layered profile of flavors. From nuts and cinnamon, to earth and wood, and further to that of an espresso bean, these smokes unfold with every draw as you make your way through it. This one in particular will last you a long while.

While its milk-chocolate wrapper denotes somewhat of a milder cigar, the strength is still there. It is truly somewhat of a perfect cigar–a present from the most famous brand of them all, wrapped to a perfect pigtail tie at the end. Cut it and enjoy.
