Cohiba Behike, I figured my wife's birthday was a good excuse to smoke something special. I would still take Siglo vi over Behike.

For about $45 each, that was quite a celebration.

I'm running out of tobacco, I've got about one bowl left of Dark English (I love latakia) and only a few bowls left of even the cheap junk Captain Black. It's hard to get even mediocre stuff in this county, back to no pipe smoking because cigarettes are just gross. AAGGH!

She was certainly not happy about her age but I had a perfect excuse.

Smoked the last of the cigars I got when I honeymooned in the Dominican Republic last year. From a little local factory that doesn't import into the USA. *Sigh*

I am not sure but it was a robusto size. Interesting toothy wrapper. Not exactly full bodied for sure but pleasant enough. I know others have rated it as full bodied but it isn't exactly a LFD double ligero. It is packed with spicy pepper tastes that fade in and out with sweetness and cedar. The draw was not breezy but it also wasn't tight. It is a decent cigar and I would recommend it with a few caveats regarding the burn being uneven and you need to touch it up once or twice.

Thanks! Good to know.
