Bohekio Maduro

We are proud to present this retail exclusive at Blue Smoke: we are delighted to be the only retailer currently stocking this exceptional brand.

The Bohekio Maduro wraps Haitian tobaccos in an Ecuadorian Habano Maduro wrapper, taken from the top leaves of the plant: offering greater strength, smoothness and spice, for a medium to full-bodied cigar. The binders and fillers come from the Supreme Tobacco farm in Haiti.

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

In Corona

Its band is reminiscent of naïve art paintings, and immediately transports us into its exotic world. On the cold draw, 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 the tasting progresses, 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 quick purge allows you to continue the tasting smoothly and avoid any excessive bitterness. 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 ensure its availability on the Swiss market.

In Robusto Gordo

A bold and expressive opening, dominated by a very pronounced, 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. The initial nose reveals an almost indulgent sweetness, like a lightly caramelised treat blended with delicate vanilla.

As the burn progresses, the smoke, initially silky and light, becomes denser: an earthy, almost mineral quality emerges, like the signature of volcanic soil. Rounded and fuller-bodied than the Corona, with powerful yet well-integrated aromas, the smoke evolves from sweet and mellow towards a more rustic and earthy character.

Pairing

A fruity white wine with the Corona; a vanilla black tea with the Robusto Gordo.

Two sizes: Robusto Gordo (12.7 cm, ring gauge 55), in boxes of 20, and Corona (15.2 cm, ring gauge 60), in boxes of 8 or bundles of 20.

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.
