This compact powerhouse from VegaFina clocks in at 4.25"x50 with a $87 price tag for 10 tubos. Perfect for coffee breaks, it's rolled in the Dominican Republic using that silky Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper everyone's been talking about. The aluminum tubes make these robustos ready-to-smoke survivors in any humidor emergency.
First Third: Immediate roasted almonds and cedar notes with this sneaky cream undertone. Smoke production's decent but not overwhelming - perfect for indoor sessions.
Middle Third: White pepper wakes up your palate followed by this warm cereal vibe. Watch for subtle honey on the retrohale if you nurse it slow.
Final Third: Woodiness holds strong while bitter cocoa powder emerges. Cleans up nicely without that nasty tar buildup some shorties get.
The Colorado Claro wrapper glistens without being oily - textbook Dominican processing. Tight roll maintains consistent burn line, though I'd drybox for 30 mins if you hate tight draws. Ash holds impressively for a 4-incher.
Dominican Piloto Cubano filler from Cibao Valley's volcanic soil gives that signature smoothness. Cameroon binder adds just enough spice to balance the sweet Ecuadorian wrapper. Pro tip: Pair with light roast coffee to amplify the nutty notes.
