This petite 4⅝"x42 parejo from Tatuaje's Cabaiguan line packs Cuban-style craftsmanship into a compact format. Rolled at the famed My Father factory in Esteli, it features Ecuadorian sun-grown wrapper over Nicaraguan binder/filler tobaccos - a smooth operator priced at $6.75 per stick in 20-count boxes.
The cold draw offers sweet hay notes. Upon lighting, expect creamy cashew butter balanced by white pepper spice. Retrohale reveals distinct cedar undertones.
Flavors shift toward roasted coffee beans with toasted almond sweetness. Smoke texture thickens slightly, leaving a salted caramel finish on the palate.
Earthiness emerges alongside baking spices. Watch for subtle leather development despite some tightness in the draw during last inch.
Blended by Pete Johnson using Jalapa valley ligero for sweetness and Esteli seco for structure. The Ecuadorian wrapper undergoes extended fermentation to reduce harshness - a trademark of My Father's Cuban-inspired techniques.
