Casa Ejemplo Minis Vanilla Cigarillos

The gentlest thing in our cigar range

Short, filtered and sweetened: three choices that all point the same direction. This is the cigarillo people buy when they do not really want a cigar, and it is the one most likely to suit someone who finds tobacco harsh.

What the filter does

It cools the smoke and gives a firmer tip to hold, which makes the draw noticeably smoother than the unfiltered Club Minis. It also removes some of the directness of the tobacco, which is the trade.

The vanilla

A casing applied to the tobacco rather than a flavour in the leaf itself. It reads as sweet and creamy, and the room note is pleasant enough that people nearby tend not to mind it — which is not true of most tobacco products.

Ten minutes, not an hour

At 85mm this is the shortest smoke we stock. It suits a coffee break or the walk home rather than an evening on a terrace.

Keeping them

Sealed pack, cool cupboard. Flavoured cigarillos dry out like any tobacco, and a dried one tastes mostly of the casing.

If you want more tobacco

The Club Mini Cigars are unfiltered and unsweetened, and a step closer to a real cigar.
