It seems they're cooking something new. Has any of you ever seen or heard about a figurado behike?

Thanks @JohnS, looks better this way 😉

I can't be 100% sure but this comes from a serious source, I don't think they're fake fwiw.

Behike 57 ring gauge (thinking about it, could be 59, can't remember, but one of those two). Working name Cohiba Atabey. I smoked one in El Laguito in March. It’s a pet project of a director. The samples we had had no ligero, just more medio tiempo. Take from that what you will. It was a strong cigar.

 

The Cohiba Cacique I had was more interesting. The Behike 58, another parejo, due for official release next year.

Usually if Alex isn't aware of it itza fugazi. I might be mistaken but I don't think a pigtail figurado has been done before. My question is where were they banded, as EL hasn't had bands or boxes for years. John

What's the story on those?

I have seen, from legit sources, unbanded torpedo cigars being smoked at El Laguito. Allegedly they are suppose to be Behike blends, but these cigars were not banded.

BHK 58 maybe.

I think that's what the parejo in the picture is, this account already posted a few times about those but it was the first time I saw this figurado.

Absolute donkey dong. Can't believe Cubans are getting that big.

Hasn't had what for years?

Post Covid, EL does not band or box their cigars, they are done at another undisclosed factory. John

I have to say the 59s are great already even though fresh. I enjoyed it!

Was that as good as it looks?
