RoMa Craft Baka Bantu
Baka Bantu is one of RoMa Craft's most exotic and challenging creations. Named after the Baka, a Pygmy tribe in Central Africa, and "Bantu," representing the broad Bantu language family across Africa, the name itself reveals its core essence—a Cameroonian wrapper. This cigar breaks the industry's preconceived notion that Cameroonian tobacco is "only suitable for light blends." Processed in-house by Nica Sueño, it perfectly blends this delicate tobacco with the robust character of Nicaragua, presenting a dynamic and balanced aesthetic.

Flavor Ladder
Initial notes: Upon lighting, the characteristic natural sweetness of the Cameroonian wrapper is quickly released, accompanied by woody aromas and a hint of cinnamon spiciness. Due to the short size of the Bantu, the flavor evolution is extremely rapid and direct. Mid-section: Entering the mid-section, the signature power of RoMa Craft begins to emerge. Dark roasted coffee beans, nutty and earthy flavors intertwine with the initial sweetness to create a medium to full-bodied complex flavor, with a thick and oily smoke. Finish: The finish reveals a captivating aftertaste of leather, black pepper, and dried fruit. Thanks to the rigorous structural control of the Nica Sueño factory, the smoke maintains a suitable temperature even at the end, with a clean finish and a distinct woody sweetness.
Recommendation reason
- Pinnacle of in-house production: Due to the extremely thin and fragile wrapper of Cameroonian cigars, the rolling process demands exceptional skill. Bantu is entirely produced in RoMa Craft's own factory and handcrafted by top rollers, ensuring that this delicate tobacco maintains perfect combustion and draw resistance despite its large ring gauge and high-density packing.
- A revolutionary style: Unlike the mild Cameroonian cigars commonly found on the market, Baka Bantu is a "powerful and structured" creation. It retains the delicate sweetness of African tobacco leaves while infusing it with the brand's unique hardcore soul, making it an "advanced version of Cameroon" in the eyes of connoisseurs.
- Ultimate flavor efficiency: The short Robusto size of 4 × 52 is the perfect choice for the modern pace of life. It concentrates an extremely high level of flavor evolution within 35-45 minutes, making it ideal as a quick reward after a busy day or as a midday companion for seasoned citrus lovers.
