Anyone ever had the pleasure of smoking one of these bad boys or even purchase one for their collection. I guess that it would be almost impossible to get one as they were all sold in humidors of 40 I believe, so maybe the only way to obtain a stick is to buy it off of a humidor owner (who is most likely so rich they wouldn't care about a measly $600 for a stick)?
After my current cabinet and the 4 cabs in my garage, I have only one cab left. I have never had nor seen one outside of pictures. Very few people have smoked an official one. Plenty have them but still have full cabinets. Last time I checked there was still one for sale for the original price in Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, that was about six months ago though.

I may well be wrong but I'm not sure if that would count as an "official" Behike. Any word James or David? I never heard of anyone yet smoking a numbered cigar out of a cabinet. I would imagine somebody has.

I don't know Nino personally and I don't doubt that what he is smoking there is a Behike size, probably rolled by Norma Fernandez, but I would doubt very much that it came out of that cabinet. Besides Jimmy Ng has cigars far more rare and valuable than mere Behikes.
Edit. I should say, that what I do know of Nino is that he is a great guy who possesses a rare combination of knowledge and generosity of time and effort to provide enormous insight into the world of Cuban cigars. If Nino says thats a Behike, I believe him. I still don't think it came out of that cabinet though.

It came out of the cabinet before it went into the cabinet...
