So here are the pictures of the Behike. Hopefully I sized it well enough. From everything I read, it seems legit.

No hole that I noticed. The picture makes it look a lot more veiny than in person.

It has the little pig tail thing. Can't tell if it looks like it is 3 layers like what I read.

As I said in the other thread, I don't know you, your friend or if this cigar is authentic or not. For a small photo on a notebook computer screen, the band looks ok - but that alone should not be taken as definitive.

Maybe your friend is exaggerating the price, or can't remember it, or just got taken for an expensive ride.

Not saying that is the case here, but keep in mind that cigars can be rebanded to make them appear as something else. Do the measurements check out? Ring gauge can be up or down by a little bit (1/64 to 2/64 ish) as the cigars age and swell or shrink a tad.

If you haven't smoked a Cohiba, a Behike in particular, you wouldn't know what they are supposed to taste like. The hype would make one think it is impossible but I've actually had some pretty raunchy tasting authentic Cuban cigars, and they weren't Guantanameras or J.L. Piedras. I've also had some really good tasting fakes, so go figure.

Yeah, who knows in regards to the price. He could have been full of crap and trying to impress me or could have got had. Doesn't really matter, still an amazing gift.

How do you measure ring gauge? I probably wouldn't go through the trouble, but would be interesting to know. I will just smoke it and hopefully enjoy it.

Ring gauge is in 64ths of an inch, so getting really accurate would ideally utilize a caliper or micrometer. You could use a go/no-go circle gauge but have to be careful to not damage the wrapper leaf. If you have a machinist's ruler you can measure the diameter of the foot.

This page has a long explanation and a printable sheet that you can put the foot up to the various sized circles and get an idea that way

Remember to turn off scaling/shrink to fit page when you print and to use a ruler to verify that a few of the circles and the rule are actually correct before trusting the printout.

Looks like it may actually be legit. Good for you Hamk.

Measure the length, it'll be easier to know if it's a 52, 54 or 56. 4.7" 5.7" and 6.5" respectively.

Enjoy it no matter what it may be.
