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.

Good smoke. I just prefer the other two lines as they are a bit fuller.

If you know me, you know I'm always a fan of Ecuadorian Habano wrappers, as well as Mr. Nelson Alfonso. Beside being the curator of the most famous Cuban cigar, the Cohiba Behike, he does a phenomenal job with his lines: Atabey, Alfonso, Byron, and this one, the Bandolero Clandestinos. Coming in 4 different sizes I went with the one fitting my preference in the 4 3/8" by 60 ring gauge. The initial start of this cigar has a rich spice similar to cinnamon and a smooth smoke profile, creamy, like a sweet espresso. Mid way it does transition to a medium to full body profile with the smoke having a sweetness and bitter like a 1/2 sweet Cafe Con Leche. The finish on this cigar is my favorite though, the coffee profile changes from Cafe Con Leche to almost an espresso like note thanks to the oils from the wrapper and internal tobacco. I was able to smoke about 3/4 of the cigar with the ash still there, only to fall when I touched it against my ashtray. Paired with coconut water, coffee, coffee or cream liquor, or Amaretto would be my suggestions to compliment the cigar without taking away from the natural notes it provide.
