Humidor Update (2011 Part 1)

- click on photographs - 

CigarPhoto.Net is now 6+ months into cigar photography, smoking, reviewing, etc. Although we occasionally receive pre-releases from various manufacturers, 99% of what is aging in our humidors came through our personal wallet. Back in JAN2011 we unveiled this blog and our Humidors. Few months and many boxes later, humidors/coolidor are packed to gills. As I said in my Intro, cigar researching and ultimately purchasing is as equally enjoyable as cigar smoking. Attending events, participating in online forums and social media, expending circle of fellow cigar ‘aficionados’ surely didn’t help in keeping this hobby in check. I’m actively thinking about cabinet humidor purchase (Aristocrat or Avello ?) to add an extra cushion. While this is in works, please find recent bulk arrivals. There was obviously a lot of singles that were purchased / smoked immediately that were not photographed for blog’s humidor update. However, you can keep track of those purchases and experiences via Facebook Fan Page and / or Twitter. Below boxes / 5packs came through random sources: Ruben’s Smoke Stack, Federal Cigars, Fume Cigars, Hava CigarShop, Saints & Sinners, Cigar Mas Fino, and various online cigar communities. Enjoy !

Cohiba Behike 54

- click on photographs - 

From Habanos S.A.: Cohiba Behike, the most exclusive línea of the most prestigious Habanos brand, arrived in 2010 to the markets with three new formats: BHK 52, BHK 54 y BHK 56. Its extremely limited production incorporates, for the first time in the blend of its three vitolas, the tobacco leaf called “medio tiempo” that grants it exceptional character and flavor. Each and every one of Cohiba Behike Habanos also incorporates a band with two holograms for security identification.



Although I have a resting 5-pack waiting on standby, I personally have not smoke Cohiba Behike yet. Although I’m a strong believer of ‘every day is a special day‘ attitude, this one will break that rule of thumb for two reasons. First reason: $42 / stick will make most cigar aficionados think twice whether today is The Day. Second reason: most if not all blog reviewers who reviewed Cohiba Behike called for extra resting period. To address both, I will be waiting until 04JUN2011 to sacrifice this special stogie. Why 04JUN2011, check back in few months ! Until then, PUFF ON !
