Bandolero Premium is a meticulously crafted, limited-production cigar line by Selected Tobacco that stands out for its distinctive three-year aging in Spanish cedar humidors. Handcrafted in Costa Rica and matured in five types of cedar, every Bandolero Premium cigar exemplifies how extended cedar aging can integrate complexity, aroma, and elegance in the final profile. The Ecuadorian Habano 2000 wrapper envelops a robust core of Nicaraguan Ligero, Peruvian fillers, and a Nicaraguan binder, offering a balanced medium-to-full body and persistent, well-structured finish.
- Three-year maturation in five distinct Spanish cedars, unlocking depth and signature aromatic complexity
- Golden Ecuadorian Habano 2000 wrapper brings silkiness, baking spice, and subtle natural sweetness
- Nicaraguan binder and Ligero, plus Peruvian fillers for layered spice, roasted nuts, cocoa, and faint fruit sweetness
- Luxurious finish—clean, composed, and confidently aromatic, with seamless construction and polished transitions
- Each vitola tuned: Irónicos (spice, cedar), Bravos (nuance, balanced duration), Magníficos (creaminess, resonance)
- Limited to just 300 boxes per vitola, packaged in lacquered 25-count presentation boxes, ideal for collectors
- Handcrafted in Costa Rica under the Selected Tobacco standard—consistent draw, even burn, and aromatic retrohale
The blend’s three-year cedar regimen imparts a soft, honeyed woodiness and rounded texture, balanced by roasted pecan, dark cocoa, and trailing pepper. The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper contributes both brightness and elegant mouthfeel, while the combination of tobaccos from Nicaragua and Peru ensures aromatic lift, structure, and subtle fruit. Connoisseurs appreciate the clean transition between thirds, with each puff displaying the benefits of expert cedar aging—refinement, complexity, and aromatic length. Bandolero Premium is designed for aging but arrives at peak maturity; a standout in any curated humidor or as a celebratory gift for discerning smokers.
