Haiti: a little-known producer

Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the island of Hispaniola. Unfortunately, natural disasters and political unrest have long hampered Haiti’s development, even though the country enjoys ideal conditions for growing tobacco. Despite these challenges, a handful of passionate producers are keeping an exceptional artisanal craft alive and crafting cigars of remarkable quality, which are now recognised far beyond the country’s borders.

Tasting menu

Its bouquet is reminiscent of naïve art paintings and immediately transports us into its exotic world. When tasted neat, fantastic chocolate aromas fill the palate. These are followed by delicate, well-rounded woody notes.

Selected in the maduro variety for its roundness and balance, this corona is the ideal size for savouring this exotic experience to the full and at a leisurely pace. The size itself tells the story: this cigar is best enjoyed with patience. The wrapper, which feels slightly sticky on the palate, evokes an exotic kiss with hints of warm sand.

As you smoke it, the flavour profile gradually ‘warms up’, developing woody and toasty notes. The draw, which is fantastic and particularly smooth, perfectly balances the cigar’s robust character.

Once you’ve reached the three-quarter mark, a brief pause allows you to continue the tasting smoothly and prevents any excessive bitterness from developing. The further you go, the more the earthy and wild notes come to the fore, lending depth and character to the whole.

A cigar that is as rare as it is exceptional, and we are particularly proud to be able to make it available on the Swiss market.

A story about cigars

The first inhabitants of Hispaniola, the Taínos, were already growing tobacco long before the arrival of the Europeans. The BOHEKIO brand was named in honour of a Taíno chief of the same name.
