Orion21 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Thanks to Rob and the crew! First my notes then comments: First 3rd: - Cream - Citrus - Slight nutty spice - Ultra smooth with no harshness - Sweet smelling smoke Second 3rd: - Strength is building - Grassy spice - Citrus has been replaced with truffled cream - Tiny amount of brown sugar Final 3rd: - Spice picks up - Powerful and smooth, yet creamy - Making my lips tingle - Nicotine is kicking in - Young but incredibly smooth and balanced The Behike 52 I smoked tonight was an exceptional cigar. The construction was flawless and the wrapper felt like silk on my lips to the last puff. The wrapper was just incredible, by far the most beautifully constructed and highest quality tobacco I have had the pleasure to smoke to-date. The first third was medium in strength, but building to full by the end. The flavors and smoothness were incredible. It is a young cigar and felt like it, but it was so well balanced and smooth that I knew I was smoking something really special. This particular example completely validated the price ($30 US) and the hype this cigar has garnered in the press and online. What else can I say? 96 points. Pics: Behike 52 Pictures
headstand Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 First review of these to make me want to spend the money. Must have been the evolution and the brown sugar - love brown sugar. Thanks
riazp Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Great review Orion, Cant wait to try one of these one day.
Tyemv Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Great review. Wow 96. Great pictures. Curious what you might think about the 56.
str8dog Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Nice review Orion. Was planning to let my couple of 56's sleep a while, but now you've got me all impatient!
