The Casa Magna Colorado Pikito punches above its weight class as a 4¾" x 42 Nicaraguan puro, packing full-bodied flavors into its compact parejo shape. Priced at $359.70 per box of 55 sticks, this Nestor Plasencia-rolled firecracker delivers the jalapa valley terroir through its Ligero Colorado wrapper. Perfect for those 45-minute smoke breaks when you want maximum impact without the time commitment.
First Third: Immediate espresso bean bitterness tempered by pancake syrup sweetness. Noticeable pepper spice lingers on the tongue between draws, with cedar wood notes emerging as the burn line stabilizes.
Middle Third: Dark chocolate dominates as the Jalapa wrapper oils intensify. Watch for transitions between burnt caramel and roasted almond flavors around the halfway point. Smoke output doubles - keep your ashtray close.
Final Third: Volcanic soil minerality cuts through accumulating nicotine strength. Retrohale reveals smoked meat undertones, though some testers report bitterness escalation requiring early retirement at the 40-minute mark.
Rolled at Segovia Cigars S.A. using tripa larga method. The dark wrapper leaves undergo 18-month fermentation, explaining the concentrated sugars that fight through the earthy base. Box code hunters report 2021 productions showing improved combustion over earlier batches.
Dry-box for 48 hours before smoking to tame the wrapper's natural oiliness. Pair with cold brew coffee or Mexican coke to contrast the cigar's sweetness spiral. First-time smokers should try the single vitola before committing to the 55-count bundle.
