This box-pressed robusto delivers dessert-inspired indulgence at $9.45 per stick. Measuring 5"x50 with an oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, it promises French pastry vibes without the calorie guilt. Hand-rolled in the Dominican Republic, the dark-hued stick comes packed 24 to a box - perfect for smokers who prefer sweeter profiles with medium strength.
The cold draw whispers dark chocolate. Initial puffs bring singed caramel and black pepper that quickly settles into a creamy mocha base. Broadleaf's signature earthy sweetness emerges through even combustion - think charred marshmallow crust without campfire bitterness.
At the halfway point, bakers spices take center stage. Cinnamon-dusted espresso beans blend with toasted almond notes. The Sumatra binder contributes dried fruit undertones while maintaining steady burn line. Retrohale reveals hidden maple syrup nuances.
Last third amps up nicotine gently, introducing leathery depth to balance sweetness. Baking spices fade into dark cocoa territory with occasional licorice zing. Ash holds firm through final inches despite increased tar buildup. Ends before becoming cloying at 65-minute mark.
