At the close of the XXV Festival del Habano in Havana, Cuba, Habanos S.A. officially launched the Cohiba Behike BHK 58. The BHK 58 is the largest and fourth size of the famed Behike line. It debuted on the final gala night at the festival and was themed around the 15th anniversary of Behike.
The Behike BHK 58 measures 58 ring gauge x 178 mm length (58 x 7), the largest Behike size to date. Behike stands out from the rest of the Cohiba line in that it incorporates high priming media tiempo into the blend.
The BHK 58 joins the BHK 52, BHK 54, and BHK 56 sizes in the line. The line and the first three sizes made their debut at the XII Festival del Habano. As typical with Habanos Festival releases, no pricing or release date for the Cohiba Behike BHK 58 is known.
The Behike line is also getting some packaging changes. The name of the vitola will now be incorporated on the footer band. NFC technology has also been integrated into the bands and boxes to ensure authenticity and prevent counterfeiting.
The gala event also featured the annual charity auction, which included the highest bid in history for a humidor. That humidor was a Behike-branded humidor, and it went for €4,600,000.
