RoMa Craft Baka Pygmy
The Baka Pygmy is the most robust and powerful model in the series. Pygmy refers to the short but incredibly strong tribes of the Central African rainforest, a name that perfectly matches the cigar's compact size. Although it's an extremely small cigar, its precise rolling at RoMa Craft's own factory, Nica Sueño, still carries the complete soul of the Baka series. For cigar smokers seeking the ultimate flavor intensity in short bursts of time, the Pygmy is the purest and most direct expression of Cameroonian tobacco.

Flavor Ladder
Initial taste: Due to its short size, the flavor bursts forth almost instantly upon lighting. The first notes that leap onto the palate are the signature natural sweetness of the Cameroonian wrapper and the aroma of cinnamon, accompanied by a subtle spiciness of white pepper, creating a very impactful opening. Mid-section: Entering the mid-section, the flavor profile intensifies dramatically as the burn rapidly approaches the core of the tomato. Aromas of roasted nuts, dark coffee, and leather intertwine. Despite its small size, it produces an exceptionally full-bodied smoke, exhibiting a medium-to-full body. Finish: In the final 15 minutes, the flavors intensify, revealing a bittersweet balance reminiscent of dark chocolate. Thanks to Nica Sueño's exceptional control over density, even at its small size, it maintains a stable structure in the finish, with a long, woody sweetness in the aftertaste.
Recommendation reason
- Ultimate flavor density: Pygmy is no ordinary small cigar. It packs a high proportion of premium tobacco into a limited volume, making each puff far more intense than other cigars of the same size, truly a "pocket cannon."
- The micro-carving technique for delicate tobacco leaves: Using extremely thin Cameroonian wrappers on small-sized cigarettes is extremely fragile, but RoMa Craft, leveraging its in-house production capabilities, achieves a very high yield rate. The flatness and draw resistance of each Pygmy cigarette undergo rigorous testing, reflecting an artisan-level micro-carving skill.
- A perfect slice of time: a complete premium tasting experience takes only 20-30 minutes. Whether it's your first espresso of the morning or a short break outdoors on a winter's day, Pygmy delivers the full, uncompromised flavor of Baka in a very short time.
RoMa Craft Baka Pygmy is a miniature flavor bomb, perfectly embodying the art of tobacco as "small but powerful" with its compact size.
