The name recalls the years 1717 to 1817, when Spain barred cigar making in its colonies and a bandolero smuggled leaf to roll it elsewhere. The cigars are rolled at Tabacos de Costa Rica, then aged three years in Madrid, Spain, in humidors lined with five kinds of cedar, a cedar “cocktail” that United's release compares to bourbon taking flavor from the barrel. Selected Tobacco introduced the line at the PCA trade show in New Orleans in April 2025, reusing three size names from Bandolero's Selección Especial range, and the release describes it as limited production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnited's April 2025 release gives the blend as an Ecuadorian Habano 2000 wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder, with Nicaraguan ligero and Peruvian filler, and calls it medium to full-bodied; our distributor's sheet lists the binder as Peruvian. The cigars come in black lacquered boxes of 25, and the bands carry the ring gauge and indigenous-style art, with a gold and pewter secondary band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bravos is a 5 1\/4 x 52 robusto extra. The Cigar Authority, a retailer, scored it 92.19 in June 2025 and found citrus, vanilla, almond, honey and white pepper. Cigar Coop scored it 88 in October 2025 with a “Don't Splurge” verdict, and rated it medium in strength and body, with cedar, earth, black pepper, cream and fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 1\/4 x 52 Robusto Extra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWrapper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ecuadorian Habano 2000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nicaraguan, per United's release (the distributor sheet lists Peruvian)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiller:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nicaraguan ligero and Peruvian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tabacos de Costa Rica, Santiago de Puriscal, Costa Rica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 cigars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffered by the single, the five-pack or the box of 25.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBravos Robusto Extra FAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Bandolero Premium taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e Selected Tobacco has not published tasting notes we could confirm.
