This petite Dominican stogie packs surprise heft in its 5x30 frame - think espresso shot of creamy satisfaction. The Angelito's Connecticut Shade wrapper glistens like aged parchment, a visual promise of the smooth ride ahead. Rolled tighter than a resort lounge cocktail napkin, it burns slower than you'd expect from a cigarillo.
Cold draw brings sweet hay and pencil shavings. Initial puff releases warm buttercream through the nose - shockingly smooth for Dominican tobacco. Ash holds firm like Havana Club rum cake.
Cinnamon toast crunch emerges at inch mark. Retrohale tingles with white pepper despite the mild rating. Burn stays razor-straight even when rushed.
Last third introduces wet stone minerality. Sweetness dials back to reveal oaky base notes. Tiny ring gauge means it quits before nicotine builds - perfect 25-minute commitment.
Keep at 65% RH max - that slim format turns spongy fast. Pair with demitasse coffee to amplify sweetness. Box date matters; let rest 3 months minimum to tame Dominican spice.
