May 12 sees the launch of Cohiba Behikes new BHK cigars in unsurprisingly limited supply. And once they are gone, that's it until their next annual release.
 The highly-limited new release from Cohiba Behike |
The splendid Havanas are presented in boxes of 10. They will be much sought-after by top collectors, many of whom have apparently made 10-year plans to collect a portion of BHKs each year.
According to industry insiders, the BHKs have a different blend to the 40th anniversary Behikes which were aged five years.
Each cigar contains an extra Medio tiempo filler leaf - very dark and from the top of the plant - which gives the cigar a very distinct flavour.
The BHKs are being sold through select online dealers, and their quality and scarcity will make them a definitive collectible cigar for 2010.
Prices on the boxes are reportedly lower than expected - for instance around £269 for a collectible box of 10 - but these scarce stogies will accrue value once they're all snapped up by eager buyers.
