Meet the Tatiana Classic Chocolate - a 6x44 parejo-shaped stogie that's become the go-to choice for flavored cigar lovers. This box-pressed Dominican blend comes 25 to a pack, hitting that sweet spot between affordable daily smoker and cocktail-hour indulgence. The wrapper gleams with faint oil spots, typical of these Indonesian-grown leaves that've absorbed just enough chocolate infusion without getting sticky.
The cold draw tastes like a melted chocolate bar dipped in raw tobacco. Initial puffs deliver sweetened cocoa powder with airy vanilla undertones. Burn starts razor-sharp, producing feather-light smoke that leaves caramelized sugar residue on lips.
Dominican fillers emerge through the sweetness - think damp cedar with a nutmeg sprinkle. Chocolate transitions from milk to dark variety, though the artificial flavoring becomes more apparent. Watch for occasional canoeing if humidity drops below 65%.
Last inch brings unexpected heat with white pepper tingle on retrohale. The infused chocolate fades to reveal generic sweet tobacco core. Cut it before the nub unless you enjoy singed sugar lips. Total smoke time: 48 minutes average.
The Dominican-made roll shows visible seams but holds firm ash for 1.5". Glass tube packaging keeps wrappers intact, though some users report cracked foot seals in dry climates. Pair with sweet vermouth or black coffee to amplify chocolate notes without overwhelming the mild blend.
