Meet the Tatiana Dolce Chocolate - a 5x30 ring flavored cigarillo packing sweet convenience in machine-made perfection. These slim sticks from the Dominican Republic come 50 to a box at $157.49, sporting Indonesian wrappers over aged binders and fillers. The slender build amps up flavor concentration, making every puff drip with dessert notes like melted chocolate bars and vanilla latte foam. Perfect for 30-minute smoke breaks or pairing with afternoon coffee.
The cold draw smells like Swiss Miss cocoa mix. Initial puffs deliver straight-up milk chocolate without subtlety - think Hershey's syrup on cheap vanilla ice cream. Smoke production stays modest, requiring deliberate draws. Ash holds firm for about 1.5 inches before dropping.
At the halfway mark, stewed fruit notes emerge beneath the chocolate blanket - imagine cherry compote swirled into chocolate mousse. The texture turns creamy, though some might find the sweetness cloying without coffee. Burn stays even without corrections.
Last inch brings caramelized sugar bitterness common in infused cigars. Chocolate shifts darker but gets overshadowed by accumulating sweetness. The nub turns warm fast - best to quit with 2cm left unless you enjoy tongue-tingling saccharine burn.
