Puros Y Vino Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I was in Rome this past September. While about on the town, I walked into many of the various "Tabaccheria" stores. Many carry cigarettes, Italian cigars and loads of lottery tickets. A few good ones have fully stocked humidors loaded with Habanos. One store in particular had BHK52's in stock. At 24Euros.... I decided to take the plunge. "When in Rome" they say. I have yet to see any in Toronto so I bit the bullet. My wife and I found a little bar/pub to relax in that night. We ordered a couple of drinks, I handed her a little RyJ Purito. For myself, I pulled out the BHK52. Since I was with the wife, a proper review could not be conducted. But here is what I recall. The construction was beautiful, almost flawless. The cold aroma was very rich and intoxicating. Cold draw was excellent. In terms of tasting, the cigar had dimension to it, flavours were rich and nutty and very enjoyable. Nonetheless, it did not my socks off. I smoked a Trinidad Robusto T later on during the trip and found it to be a much better cigar. Here's some photos I did manage to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charltonc Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I heard mixed reviews. I would rather smoke the trindad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickNick Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I heard mixed reviews. I would rather smoke the trindad. The 52 needs some time, IMHO. The 54 is where its at. Amazing smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckSARTech Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Yeah, those Trinidads have been great!!! Everyone seems to be iffy on these Behike's. I'm on the fence about even trying them - maybe I'll pick up a stick or two on my next Cuba trip, and go from there. Thanks for the review/thoughts, and the beautiful pictures. Some cities just have such....character. Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adic88 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 EURO24 is cheapppppppppp! Probably if you took a box, they'd even give you a box discount. A Behike 52 costs a bomb here in Malaysia, more than double what you paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turrbo Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I have a box of each one, the 52,54, and 56. I so far like the 56 the best. The only problem with the 56 is it's a little large for me, I like a 50-52 sized cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LCDH in Windsor has boxes of each. Singles available, as well as whole boxes of each too, I believe. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled in Cuba though.

mbrody Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Great photos, thanks for sharing! The one BHK 54 I tried was smokeable now, but definately not near it's HUGE potential it showed. Very potent cigar that exhibited amazing cohiba honey, cream, grassyiness and an unmistakable wasabi flavor which I attribute to the Medio Tempo, as I have never tasted Wasabi in a cigar before. It was also strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably if you took a box, they'd even give you a box discount.A Behike 52 costs a bomb here in Malaysia, more than double what you paid. Agreed! I bit the bullet and bought a 56 in London at JJ Fox. Lets just say it hurt my soul a little bit when I looked at the receipt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnt Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Oh, you can find them in Toronto. If you don't mind dropping $70-80 on a 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
