Bohekio Maduro Robusto gordo
A clean, expressive attack, dominated by a very prominent, almost creamy sandalwood note, underpinned by deep toasty notes. The heart is decidedly earthy, with a hint of sulphur that lends tension and character without ever becoming overpowering. Compared to the Gordito format, the palate is rounder and fuller, with a more enveloping texture. The aromas, though powerful, appear more blended and integrated, giving an impression of coherence and maturity. The overall impression retains a strong personality, whilst gaining in harmony and depth.
The initial aroma gives an almost indulgent impression of sweetness, like a lightly caramelised treat blended with delicate vanilla. Lighting the cigar reveals a whole range of sensations: at first silky and light, almost caressing, with a smoke that envelops the senses without being overpowering.
As the burning progresses, this veil thickens and transforms: an earthy, almost rustic quality emerges. This earthy, almost mineral character evokes a rarer, more intriguing note that some associate with a hint of sulphur—not pungent, but rather like an ancient mineral signature, reminiscent of volcanic or rocky soil, which draws and captivates the attention.
The smoky flavour evolves from mild and sweet to a more rustic and earthy character

About Bohekio
Haiti: a little-known producer
Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the island of Hispaniola. Natural disasters and political turmoil have long held back Haiti’s development, even though the country enjoys ideal conditions for growing tobacco. Despite those obstacles, a few dedicated producers keep an exceptional artisanal know-how alive, crafting cigars of remarkable quality that are now recognised well beyond the country’s borders.
A “bohemian” name
The first inhabitants of Hispaniola, the Taíno, were already growing tobacco long before the Europeans arrived. As a tribute to that ancestral heritage, the three founders named their cigar brand BOHEKIO, after a Taíno chief.
The Taíno are also credited with the origin of the word “tobacco” and with the invention of the hammock. Christopher Columbus discovered this cultural legacy when he landed on Hispaniola in 1492, the first contact between Europe and the peoples of the Caribbean.
Today, BOHEKIO carries on that centuries-old tradition, honouring the historical roots of Haitian tobacco and the craftsmanship of a land that belongs to the cigar’s birthplace.
