This torpedo-shaped stunner brings bold flavors in an eye-catching double figurado format. Measuring 5"x54, the Brazilian Arapiraca maduro wrapper glistens with oil under proper humidification. At $24.52 per stick, these Dominican-made gems come packed in ruby-red tubes ready for special occasions.
Initial draws deliver peppercorn spice that quickly mellows into earthy espresso notes. The Cameroon filler introduces subtle apricot sweetness around the 1" burn mark.

Cocoa powder and leather intensify while maintaining smooth airflow. Strength ramps up noticeably in last inch, better suited for nicotine-tolerant smokers.
The triple-cap finish holds firm through entire session. Ash maintains solid 1.5" segments when properly humidified at 65% RH. Draw resistance varies slightly between vitolas - our sample required one minor touch-up at midpoint.
