CigarSeeker Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 This cohiba Behike was given to me as a gift by a friend. Never really had one but it looks legit for the most part. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor2118 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Probabily okay, but it is virtually impossible to tell off a photograph. Have a read of this to see why: http://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/fakes.aspx Trevor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CigarSeeker Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Trevor, that was an excellent read. I tried smoking it and wasn't impressed with the taste/flavor. I stopped and will dissect it later. Such a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapaNolan Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 What makes your question its authenticity? Did he buy it in a gas station in Cancun? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CigarSeeker Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 What makes your question its authenticity? Did he buy it in a gas station in Cancun? No.. He has his own sources. If you look on picture #2, the side of the band. The word cohiba looks sloppy (the B in cohiba isn't even drawn out proper). The hologram on the bottom of the band instead of being a smooth hologram, it's embossed. Now after smoking a good 20 minutes in, it tasted like stale tobacco and a bitter after taste. I'm sure a Behike shouldn't taste like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaDisco Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 The cap looks very well done. The 'meh' flavor profile could have been a result of its traveling. Maybe it needed more humi time? I've had boxes go from blah to wow when left alone for several months. Terribly hard to predict what will or won't work though, and if you've got just one stick it's a crap shoot on when it is or isn't ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinz Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I'm not BHK expert, but I think the shadow from the nose on yours looks too big, as it obscures all of one dot and most of a second on yours, while my recent box has the nose shadow only obscuring a small portion of two dots. Here's a shot of mine: And the band example on CCW looks the same: http://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/brand.aspx?brand=Cohiba Either way, sorry it wasn't a good smoke!

TheMonk Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I would say it's a fake, but a pretty good one. Smoke it, and find out for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David88 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 As others have said it just looks a bit off but it is certainly a good effort. It will be interesting to see what you find when it is opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
