These Dominican-made cigarillos pack full-sized flavor into a compact 4" x 25 format. Wrapped in silky Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf, they deliver surprising complexity for their petite frame. The cold draw hints at caramelized sugar before lighting, promising a smooth ride ahead.
First Third: Toasted cedar and almond butter dominate, with wisps of vanilla bean. Smoke production stays moderate - no thick clouds here. Draw requires firm pulls but stays consistent.
Middle Third: Transition brings dry cocoa powder and cashew notes. Retrohale reveals faint white pepper tingle. Ash holds firm at ¾" despite the slender format.
Final Third: Earthiness intensifies with damp forest floor character. Nicotine buildup becomes noticeable at nub stage. Perfect 25-minute smoke duration for quick breaks.
The tripa larga blend uses aged Piloto Cubano leaves, impressive for this size. Wrapper veins nearly invisible - obvious quality control. Box date codes show 6-month minimum aging before shipping.
