In a light wrapper, one of my favorites from Mi Havana is a $7 smoke in a torpedo shape.
Although the builds are never consistent, some are too tight and some are more than loose, the flavor is.
An easy light leads to a smooth blend of moist wood with a tiny, tiny hint of fruit. Cherry almost.
There is a deep undercurrent of leather. The smoke is full bodied, be careful not to inhale or draw too often.
A hint of wood fire leads me to think the molds or the cure process itself are imparting a bit of flavor.
They are firm with a round body and a torpedo, pointed tip.
$7 at Mi Havana, Pomona ****
Post Script:
Mi Havana makes the same thing in a dark wrapper, natch. They also acquired the molds of a firm that went out of business so the line will be expanding. Today I saw some dark wrapper Robustos with a pigtail for a cap at $5.
So much to explore!
