This 4" x 33 petite Dominican cigarillo packs big vanilla flavor at $1.91/stick in 40-count tins. Made at the Tabacalera de García factory that produces Backwoods classics, these machine-rolled sticks use local Pompona orchid extracts to create a dessert-like profile. The tin's floral aroma hits first - think vanilla cupcake frosting meeting tropical rainforest humidity.
Immediate vanilla extract sweetness dominates, with faint orchid floral notes. The cold draw tastes like licking a vanilla bean pod. Thin smoke output (typical for small ring gauges) carries aromas of baking sugar cookies.
Buttery characteristics emerge as the Dominican filler tobaccos warm up. Vanilla transitions from artificial to natural pod flavor. Watch for uneven burns - these machine-mades require frequent touch-ups.
Papery taste develops in last inch with mild nicotine tingle. Finish clean without bitterness, though sweetness becomes cloying. Best enjoyed in 15-minute sessions rather than full smoke.
