  Bandolero Clandestinos

  The Clandestinos is a premium cigar that is part of the Bandolero brand. During the 19th Century, the Spanish crown had a monopoly on tobacco production and the making of cigars and other tobacco products. This control allowed them to charge exorbitant prices for cigars, which gave rise to bootleggers referred to as Bandoleros. These bootleggers had cigars made in countries not under Spanish rule and sell them at a much lower cost, which eventually undermined the monarchy’s monopoly. The Clandestinos cigar is composed of a light-brown Ecuadorian wrapper placed over a binder of undisclosed origin and a Peruvian filler. It is a full-bodied stick that offers up a complexity of flavors. Expertly hand crafted in Costa Rica, the Bandolero Clandestinos is the creation of Nelson Alfonso, a Cuban graphic designer who is recognized in the cigar industry for doing the artwork and packaging for the Cohiba Behike brand. Alfonso is also the founder of Selected Tobacco.
