The Tatiana Classic Vanilla cigar rolls in at $112.49 for a box of 25 parejos, sporting a 6x44 frame that hits the sweet spot between portability and smoke time. This Dominican Republic-made stick with Indonesian wrapper delivers exactly what it promises - a no-surprises vanilla experience that's become the go-to for flavored cigar newbies and sweet-toothed veterans alike. Miami Cigars nailed the consistency factor here, keeping things mellow enough for poolside puffing but flavored enough to stand out in the crowded infused market.
The cold draw punches you with vanilla extract sweetness before lighting. Initial puffs bring warm pancake syrup vibes - simple, sweet, and comforting. Smoke stays cool with minimal nicotine kick, burning straight as a ruler if you keep the humidity in check.
Vanilla bean paste intensity peaks here, mixing with faint toasted tobacco undertones. Watch for occasional caramel swirls, though the flavor infusion keeps complexity reined in. Ash holds decently for a machine roll, about inch-long before dropping.
Sweetness dials back slightly, letting subtle wood notes surface. Some boxes show slight bitterness if pushed too hard - better to savor slow. The glass tube packaging actually helps maintain flavor consistency between smokes.
Dominican binder/filler tobaccos form the base, chosen for their neutral canvas that soaks up vanilla infusion like a sponge. The Indonesian wrapper's thin veins help maintain structural integrity without overpowering the flavoring process. While production happens in Honduras, the real magic's in the post-roll infusion - a proprietary mix of natural and artificial flavorings that gives that signature bakery-case aroma.
