Tasting Journey

First Third

Creamy vanilla custard notes emerge through light cedar smoke. The Connecticut wrapper delivers a sweet hay undertone with zero pepper bite. Burn line stays razor-straight despite fast puffing - no touch-ups needed.

Middle Third

Nutty flavors intensify with cashew butter richness. Noticeable honeyed tea character develops, though some find the sweetness cloying after 3-4 cigarillos. Smoke output remains moderate - won't fog up your car interior.

Final Third

Minimal tar buildup lets you smoke past the band. Mild earthiness creeps in alongside lingering vanilla. Quick 15-minute smoke session leaves faint maple syrup aftertaste - pair with black coffee to cut the sweetness.
