What can I say. WOW! I love the Behike!
At first, I psyched myself up for a freight train plowing through my living room. Perhaps because of that, I was overprepared for its strength. While it is a full body cigar with the Medio Tiempo leaf, it doesn't present that way. It is very smooth. However, it is NOT one to have on an empty stomach. Keep some food in you, go at a smooth pace, and you'll be good to go. I was pleasantly surprised at this smoke.
As for price and availability, that's where this one will get you. It is rarer for sure, and the price point reflects that. Definitely one for me to reserve for extra, extra special occasions.
I have tried two of them from different cabinets. Both had a very lose draw for my taste. It’s a nice cigar, but it doesn’t add up to it‘s image and price. I have never since bought another one.
I do not know why people are so crazy about the BHK, I have tried all 3 of them, just for. The seek of trying, why I should pay extra premium for a regular line, the cigar has a good taste and slow burn, for me this is one time cigar, I trying to convince to try it again, but NO

/Cigar Reviewer André
I have only had a couple of this great cigar. I will let others wax lyrical on the virtues and delights of smoking a hundred pounds of leaf - but what am I saying? Of course it’s worth it? A spa trip or lunch at a pizza chain costs as much and I know well how I would rather nourish my soul! Also - with all the fuss about the BHK - you have to have tried one just to say you have tried one. Did I think it was amazing? No - it was very nice and smooth but I spent too much time worrying about how I should probably be enjoying it more. Maybe money can’t buy happiness.
