Behikes it will have a limited annual production so when they are gone - that’s it for the year. I think that makes them a candidate for laying down, maturing and collecting and many of my clients are already making 10 year plans for laying down a quantity of BHK’s annually.
The Linea BHK swept all before it when the three sizes were introduced in 2010, and yet it was the smallest, the BHK 52, that was awarded the prestigious Cigar Aficionado "Cigar of the Year" in the same year. A stunning and unique taste from Havana.
The Linea BHK cigars include two extremely rare and exceptional leaves from Cuba, the very top two leaves which are found on the sungrown plants. These leaves are known as "Medio Tiempo" and have a much higher concentration of oil.
The Vegueros began separating Medio Tiempo leaves during the harvest (when they could find it), processing and aging medio tiempo separately. When it was ready, they began using it in the blending room, and now it’s one of six leaves that go into all Behike BHK cigars.
The BHK’s have a different blend to the 40th anniversary Behikes (aged 5 years) as well as an extra Medio tiempo filler leaf which will give the cigar a very distinct flavour characteristic as this is a dark leaf from the top of the plant.

"...Each puff of this pigtailed robusto imparts a cinnamon and graham cracker sweetness with underlying earthiness and a woody finish..."
