A nice surprise from Africa comes into the greek market

THE BONGANI CIGAR

Bongani is the first African Cigar brand. The cigars are made in Mozambique.

Africa is very well positioned to produce excellent cigars as we haves rich soils, lots of water and sun and a long history growing tobacco.

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

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

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