Bongani Cigars Now Available in 2 new sizes



Bongani Cigars, the first African cigar brand, now has two new sizes. The original Bongani robusto, which I reviewed, is now available in Bongani 458, a 4 x 58 size, and Bongani 658, a 6 x 58 size.

Bongani says the blend is slightly different from the original robusto.

The Bongani story:

Bongani means “Be Grateful”. Be grateful for life, family and friends. Be grateful for Africa, our people and Africa’s resources.

We brought a team of cigar rollers from the Dominican Republic to train our team of Mozambican cigar rollers to the same level of expertise as in the D.R.

The first team of accomplished cigar rollers graduated in 2017 and we are now training a second generation.

Our wrapper comes from Cameroon; it is one of the best cigar wrappers in the world.

We grow our tobacco in Manica Province in Mozambique and soon in Nigeria and also use some of the best tobacco from around the world.

Our cigars are aged in cedar from Ghana. This gives them a unique and rich flavour as Ghanaian cedar is very richly and heavily scented.
