Since it's my day off I may have the Demi Tasse as well a bit later on.

...your thoughts on the bhkk?

[Andy 84]

Incredible. Flavour wise it seemed to have everything; chocolate, nut, spice, leather, earthy/leafyness. I tried my usual slow draws as well as some little puffs as I find it easier to retro-hale a bit that way to get the full flavours and it certainly didn't disappoint. Unfortunately I didn't smoke all of it as I was up since 6 am the previous day, so I smoked it for just over an hour (with an accompanying 77 minute CD) and then I had to go to bed. I had only smoked half actually so I could probably have got another hour out of it! What surprised me most though was how good it smelt when lit, almost like it was perfumed! It was a really nice smell. My only complaint was that the burn was quite uneven and it did need correcting quite a bit. All in all I'd say its reputation is well deserved. Would I buy it again? Hmmm maybe, but if Cohiba made one half the size, at half the price, definitely. Anything that lasts over an hour is really too long for me.

Another bad burning BHK?!

Do we have any info of where these bad burning BHK's came from and see if there is any corrolation?..... To my knowledge all of Mo's have been excellent... Perfect infact.

Mo please correct me if I got that point wrong.

All of mine have burnt perfectly, All been the 54.

great that you enjoyed it!
Mine normally last an hour, give or take.
I mostly smoke outdoors.
Great feedback. Hoping to box buy in the next 2 wks

The bad ones all seem to be 52s

It's worth getting just for the lit smell! I forgot to mention the after-taste. This morning it's quite subtle, I haven't eaten anything yet but I can still taste the bitter sweet base flavour. It's a lighter taste than most cigars I've tried and quite pleasant.

Mine was from Cgars. BTO Jul 13. So one year old. To be honest the burn may have been somewhat down to me though as it was the first time I've used a jet lighter.

Just had breakfast [emoji106]

Smoking up inside a Costa? Now that's something I want to try later

[PeeJay]

Just smoking today instead of working would be nice!

Yes it's bad being at work and thinking about smoking.
I'm planning my smoke for when I finish here.

I just hope MY! favorite spot under MY! tree in MY! park is vacant.
I get very defensive over my smoking spots.

Can't really discuss the origins of the BHK's but I do know that some of the ones people have mentioned on here are definitely from different shops on different continents. I think its pretty disgusting actually, to sell a cigar of that prestige one would not expect to see a pattern of bad burning. I've half a mind to email Cohiba to tell them what we have seen. I have six left so hopefully these will be better. The odd bad burn is to be expected from any natural product (although I've never had a Sig 6 burn badly) but this is a pattern and I'm my opinion that is unacceptable. I'm going to look for a customer service email address and write to them.

The two I smoked were from different sources and different years.
