Seven months after it debuted during the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show, Supreme Tobacco Haiti has started shipping its newest release.

The new Bohekio Maduro is covered in a habano maduro leaf that is grown in the Dominican Republic, while the internal blend contains only tobacco grown in Haiti. The new blend is a follow-up to the company’s Bohekio line, which was shown off during the 2021 PCA Convention, and is made with a Dominican sun-grown habano wrapper.

There are three different vitolas currently available in the regular production Bohekio Maduro line, all packaged in boxes of 20:

  • Bohekio Corona Gorda (6 x 60) — $13 (Box of 20, $210)
  • Bohekio Maduro Robusto (5 x 50) — $10 (Box of 20, $200)
  • Bohekio Toro Gordo (6 x 55) — $11 (Box of 20, $190)

Both Bohekio lines are named for the cacique—or Taíno ruler—of Xaragua, an area that includes present-day Haiti and in which Port-au-Prince is located. Like all of Supreme Tobacco’s cigars, the Bohekio Maduro line is being produced at its Supreme Tobacco S.A. factory located in Haiti.

In an email, Sammy Ceran, sales director at Supreme Tobacco Haiti, told halfwheel that boxes of all three Bohekio Maduro started shipping to retailers late last week.

I have been smoking cigars for over eight years. A documentary wedding photographer by trade, I spent seven years as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star Telegram. I started the cigar blog SmokingStogie in 2008 after realizing that there was a need for a cigar blog with better photographs and more in-depth information about each release. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars. I am a co-founder of halfwheel and now serve as an editor for halfwheel.
