This petite Dominican smoke comes in 10-count tins with four packs per box, making it one of the most portable Connecticut shade options. At 4"x30 ring gauge, these featherweight cigars clock in under $1.50 per stick - ideal for construction workers needing quick smoke breaks or office dwellers sneaking out for 20-minute sessions. The vanilla-infused Connecticut wrapper feels thinner than your average cigarillo but holds up surprisingly well during combustion.
The initial third hits with papery smoke production - think burning newspaper with vanilla sugar coating. Mild white pepper emerges at the halfway point, though you'll need retrohales to detect it. Surprisingly smooth for Dominican filler tobacco, with minimal nicotine accumulation even when chain-smoking three back-to-back.
Rolled at La Aurora's machine-made production line rather than their premium hand-rolled facilities. The hybrid process uses Dominican Olor filler with Indonesian binder - an unusual combo explaining the tea-like astringency. These get less aging time than core Leon Jimenes lines.
