Once lit, this awesome blend provides a rich complexity of flavors and a potent but balanced smoking experience. The brand tells the story of the Bandoleros (or bootleggers) who undermined the Spanish monarchys monopoly on tobacco and tobacco products during the 19th Century. The Bandoleros produced cigars in other countries and then sold them at a much lower cost than the Spanish crown would allow. The Bandolero Traficantes cigars are handmade in Costa Rica.
