Cohiba’s BHK 58, a “Behemoth with Good Manners”

Is the Cohiba Behike 58 the cigar of the year?

At over One Grand a “stick”, it better be!

Recent coverage from the Financial Times suggests so. The Behike 58, aka BHK 58, a hefty, 7-inch, 58-ring gauge cigar, has been making a splash since its release at Havana’s Habanos Festival, impressing with its creamy, chocolatey notes and balanced finish. 

The Behike —the name means a doctor or chieftain of the Tainos, the indigenous tribe of Cuba—, was launched in 2010 and celebrated its 15th anniversary at this year’s Festival del Habano in Havana. 

At an auction during the festival in February, a humidor of 400 Behikes raised €4.6mn, setting a new record for a humidor sale: €11,500 a cigar, showing once again the crazy prices people are willing to pay for cigars, and cementing the line’s status as the gold standard in luxury cigars.

Miami’s Design District: from “Dump” to Shopping Mecca

Craig Robins, CEO of Design District co-owner Dacra, began accumulating buildings in the area in the late 1990s, transforming a patch of largely abandoned furniture showrooms that were "unrenovated and a dump," he said. Robins estimates that he paid around $15 million for about half of the Design District… Based on the district's roughly 1 million square feet, that suggests the entire property would have a valuation of around $4 billion.
