Let's talk about the Deadwood Leather Rose Petite Corona - a 4"x43 petite corona that packs surprising intensity despite its compact size. Priced at $147.60 per box of 24, this Nicaraguan puro features a dark Brazilian wrapper that feels slightly oily to the touch. The sweetened cap gives it novelty shop appeal, though serious smokers might raise an eyebrow at the sugar-coated tip.
The sugar-coated cap dominates initially - think candy store rather than cigar lounge. Floral notes emerge through the sweetness, with rose petal aromas fighting against molasses-like undertones. Draw feels surprisingly open for such a narrow vitola.
Sweetness subsides to reveal damp earth and black pepper core. Retrohale shows unexpected complexity - cedar plank smokiness mingles with traces of clove. Burn line stays sharp despite the wrapper's oil content.
Nicaraguan ligero makes its presence known through increasing pepper spice. Dark chocolate bitterness balances residual sweetness. Becomes nicotine-heavy in last inch - novice smokers should tread carefully.
Rolled in Estelí using Nicaraguan Habano binder and fillers from Jalapa valley. The Brazilian wrapper adds visual drama but contributes minimal flavor depth. Construction quality matches Drew Estate standards - solid ash despite slim format.
