Meet the VegaFina Classic Short Robusto, your new go-to compact smoke blending Dominican craft with Ecuadorian elegance. This 4¼" x 50 parejo packs almond creaminess and coffee undertones into its smooth Connecticut Shade wrapper, perfect for morning coffee pairings or quick smoke breaks. Rolled at the Tabacalera de García factory, it combines Colombian, Honduran and Dominican tobaccos in a mild-medium bodied package that keeps the throat happy through the final ash tap.
The cold draw serves bakery sweetness - think almond croissant crust. Initial puffs deliver creamy cashew notes with vanilla undertones, the Connecticut wrapper keeping bitterness at bay. Watch for sporadic pepper flashes on retrohale that disappear by the ½" burn line.
Woody tones emerge as cedar planks replace early nuttiness. Coffee bean bitterness balances the fading sweetness, while the ash holds firm beyond two inches. Moderate smoke output keeps this office-break friendly.
Caramelized sugar returns at the band point, now with mineral water crispness. The last inch intensifies to toasted oats without turning harsh. Ends cleaner than most Connecticuts - no tar buildup messing up the finish.
This Dominican puro mixes aged Piloto Cubano viso leaves (body) with Honduran Jamastran seco (sweetness) and Colombian Volado (combustion). The Ecuadorian wrapper grown under shade cloth develops thinner veins than typical Connecticuts, allowing tighter rolls without sacrificing draw.
