Bandolero Firecrackers
Bandolero Firecrackers redefine the short-format cigar with a punchy, complex profile and rare long-aged tobaccos. This limited edition release fuses the acclaimed core of the Clandestino Serie C with the specially selected wrapper from the Aventureros Serie A line. Every cigar is the result of masterful aging and blending—five years for the tobaccos, two more after rolling—delivering surprising depth, structure, and a substantial experience despite its compact size.

- Blending heritage—built on the Clandestino Serie C core, enhanced by Aventureros Serie A Ecuadorian wrapper
- Medium-full body—packs complexity and richness into a quick-burn, full-flavored format
- Filler blend includes undisclosed tobaccos and Peruvian Seco for added nuance, balance, and aromatic lift
- Handcrafted in Costa Rica—precision construction, consistent quality, impressive draw despite the smaller size
- Long smoking time—unusually extended duration for its length, with flavors intensifying throughout
- Box count of 20—ideal as a bold collector’s box, special occasion treat, or travel companion
Lighting up a Bandolero Firecracker releases savory, powerful notes—creamy cedar, spice, earth, roasted nuts, sweet dark fruit, and hints of black pepper. Thanks to its extensive aging and blending pedigree, every draw offers balance, smoothness, and intensity, while the compact size retains the elegance and structure of larger premium cigars. These are sought out for their collectible rarity and consistent “big cigar” experience in a small format.

I’m a freak for Bandoleros. I had to get these little sumbitches and when I did, I smoked one ROTT, and because they were from
Oxford and shipped fast it smokes perfect. Amazing flavor – like it’s crazy how much flavor can fit into such a small smoke – and that it can last almost an hour? Wtf.

My order just came in and I could wait. Wow, what a flavor bomb. Nelson Alfonso does magical things with tobacco, and he did it again here. Hands down the best Firecracker I’ve had to date.
