Bohekio Colors Robusto Gordo
The Bohekio Colors Robusto Gordo offers a milder expression of Haitian tobaccos, with an intensity described as mild. Its flavour profile combines notes of nut, a hint of bitterness and pepper, against an earthy, distinctive backdrop characteristic of the brand.
The blend is based on Oro and Corojo fillers grown in Haiti, wrapped in a Habano Colorado wrapper from Ecuador.
A wonderful introduction to the world of Bohekio and the still little-known character of Haitian cigars, in a more accessible form whilst retaining a genuine personality.
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.
