Meet the Tatiana LaVita Groovy Blue - a 5x38 machine-made panatela that brings tropical sweetness to the flavored cigar scene. Priced at $75 for 25 sticks, this Dominican-made smoke features an Indonesian wrapper infused with enough dessert-like aromas to make your local ice cream shop jealous. While hardcore traditionalists might scoff, its cocktail-inspired flavors and consistent construction make it popular among casual smokers.
The cold draw bursts with vanilla ice cream sweetness. Initial puffs deliver honey-glazed nuts and a distinct rum-soaked raisin character. The flavored wrapper leaves a sugary residue on lips.
Cognac notes emerge alongside milk chocolate. The retrohale carries faint cinnamon spice - more Christmas cookie than Cuban twang. Burn stays razor-sharp despite sweetened wrapper.
Cherry syrup dominates the last inch. Some detect artificial sweetener aftertaste. Smoke remains cool to nub thanks to open draw. Pair with coffee to cut sweetness.
The Connecticut-shaped Indonesian wrapper shows visible veins but maintains integrity. Firm pack minimizes relights. Cap cuts cleanly with guillotine. Smoke time: 35-40 minutes.
Rolled in Danlí, Honduras using Jamastran Valley filler tobacco. The Olor Dominicano binder handles combustion duties. Flavoring process involves multiple syrup sprays pre-roll.
