Bandolero Traviesos Belicoso

Bandolero Traviesos Belicoso (5″ x 50) is a medium-to-full-bodied cigar handcrafted in Costa Rica by Selected Tobacco, the boutique house led by Nelson Alfonsofamed for his work on the Cohiba Behike brand. This petit belicoso features a chestnut-brown Ecuadorian wrapper, with a binder and filler blend that remains undisclosed, adding an air of mystery to its construction.

Its flavor profile is layered and dynamic:

• Cold draw: Sweet hints of molasses and maple syrup
• First third: Hearty wood and mahogany aroma, evolving into citrus and dark chocolate
• Second third: Rich espresso dominates, with lingering dark chocolate and wood on the retrohale
• Final third: Mocha and raisin notes envelop the palate, finishing with tantalizing wood and espresso
