Behike Schmehike

[AlohaStyle]

My very first Bhk 52 a long time ago was disappointing... not sure if it was because of anticipation, cuz I was freezing my ass off outside, or if it was simply the cigar. I have pretty much only smoked 54's since and enjoy them. There were a lot of people that didn't care for the 2011's and early 2012's... what is your box code? Also, are you positive they are authentic?

Either way, many people will be left underwhelmed due to the price per cigar and/or the "hype" of smoking a Behike. A cigar can be hard to live up to the name sometimes.

I like them, but they're not something I would buy again unless it was a steal of a deal. It's more a have it to have it and get it once type of a buy.

I'm also an occasional smoker so, it makes a bit more sense if I go big for a smoke every other week or so.

I'm a 62 guy, seems to work best for me and CCs

If you look at the millions of polls out there (stay away from the tips) you will find most people set between 62 and 65 RH.

Enjoyed the only BHK I've ever had, a B52 this fall. I was very whelmed. Delicious and wish I could afford to smoke them more

Frak. I have 2011.

And yes. 99% sure they are authentic. Bought from a LCDH

Hmmm. I may have to rethink my settings. Im scared.

 

[AdamJoshua]

Why are you scared, cigars are incredibly durable, it's not like they dry out in a day or a week or a month, unless of course you leave it out and there is 8% humidity, you are in the Philippines aren't you, I am not sure but isn't the humidity usually pretty high there any way?

 

[Sydgar]

super high. It averages at the 80s and spikes up to the 90s if it rains.

 

[boltman]

I do not have any cracking at 65. Maybe re calibrate your hydrometer to be accurate for sure

This guy gets it!

You might want to e-mail Bill Clinton. I understand he has perfected the technique.

 

[Sydgar]

I'm pretty sure my hygros are caliberated. I've salt tested them several times over the years.

But I already ordered a boveda calobration kit just to be extra sure.

 

[Hoshneer]

I think they are really good just not $30 good.

 

[davo]

I'll take a few off your hands if u like ?

 

[hdroadglide]

i totally and always agree with ara.

 

[ckay]

I think they are really good just not $30 good.

In reality how many cigars really are?

Haha. Too bad I live in the Philippines.

I think they're $30 good, I just can't bring myself to pay $30 for a cigar anymore. Too many great cigars at much better pricing.

That is probably a better way to put it. There is just so many cigars that are awesome.

 

[stukibuilt]

Does it live up to the hype? Not to me. Do I enjoy them? Absolutely. They are a great cigar, just not necessarily what cigar media or habanos would have you believe. Their construction is impeccable and they are really a luxury item (much like most cigars). You get a beautiful box that you can reuse as a dry box or for pocket items. The bands are really very cool, and you can say you tried one. If that isn't worth the cost of admission then I'd pass. For the same price or less you can land some great aged stock.

 

[Deadman's Point]

The old get in on the early release adage holds well for the Behike. The 2010-2011 stock I've had is amazing, while the later is inconsistent and sometimes quite unforgettable for the wrong reasons.
