The Tatiana LaVita Cinnamon comes in compact 5x38 panatela format, wrapped in Indonesian tobacco with flavored sweet tips. This mild-to-medium bodied stick sells for $75 per box of 25, making it an affordable entry point for flavored cigar enthusiasts.
These panatelas wear reddish-brown Sumatra wrappers with visible seams. The decorative gold-and-red bands add lounge-style flair, though construction feels lighter than premium hand-rolls. Closed foot shows visible sweetener crystallization.
First Third: Immediate cinnamon sugar rush dominates, like smoking a churro. Sweetness coats lips with artificial vanilla undertones. Thin smoke production.
Middle Third: Spicy cinnamon bite emerges through caramelized notes. Burn stays even despite quick smoking time (25-30 mins). Mild nicotine buildup.
Final Third: Flavors turn medicinal with cherry cough syrup persistence. Papery aftertaste requires beverage pairing. Not recommended for nubbers.
Made in Dominican Republic with Nicaraguan binders. Flavoring process involves dipping cigars in cinnamon-cocoa solution. Machine-bunched for consistency rather than complexity.
Best paired with dessert cocktails or as cigarette alternative. Novices appreciate the flavored tips masking tobacco harshness. Experienced smokers might keep these for introducing friends to cigars.
