Let's cut straight to this 6x50 toro with its signature sweetened cap that's been sparking debates in cigar circles. Priced under $10/stick in 10-count boxes, Fat Bottom Betty delivers a Nicaraguan-filled, Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro-wrapped smoke that walks the line between infused and traditional. The real story here is how that sugar-kissed tip plays with earthy undertones.

Burn Breakdown
First Third
The sweetened cap hits immediately with vanilla frosting and brown sugar notes. Smoke production stays moderate - about 30-40 visible puffs before the first ash drop. Watch for:
- Distinct cocoa powder undertones by the 15-minute mark
- Subtle black pepper retrohale that intensifies past the 1" burn line
Middle Third
As the sweetness retreats, expect:
- Roasted hazelnut dominance (60-70% through)
- Visible oil rings every 3/4"
- Average smoke temperature: 25-30°C (cooler than typical maduros)
Final Third
The nicotine kicks up at 45-50 minute mark. Flavor shifts toward:
- Burnt caramel edges
- Minerality similar to Cuban-style saltiness
- Average total smoke time: 75 minutes
