Cigarillos "Marco Polo" - a product that is well known to true connoisseurs of good tobacco. Many Russian smokers also had the opportunity to appreciate its excellent quality. Why is this product so good and what are cigarillos in general?
Detailed description
For those who first hear about such products, it is first necessary to explain that cigarilla is a special smoking pipe. It consists of a shell with cut tobacco inside. Some cigarillos are additionally equipped with a filter. This makes them somewhat similar to regular cigarettes. But not so simple. The cigarillos shell is of two types:
- Whole tobacco leaf. This product is similar to a cigar.
- Homogenized sheet or “foil” made from pressed and rolled into a thin layer of tobacco dust.
Marco Polo cigarillos are products that belong to the second type. As a filling for their production, tobacco is used in five different varieties brought from around the world. First, it is fermented, dried to the desired stage, and then cut and create a certain original blend. The crushed product is wrapped in a thin homogenized sheet of a pleasant chocolate color. And to mitigate the characteristic astringency, a special acetate filter is used. The Marco Polo cigarillos are produced by Prime Time International. It presents its products on the world market relatively recently. Created in America in 1993, it quickly began to gain momentum. Due to the excellent quality of the product and a fairly affordable price, this company has taken its rightful place among the recognized leaders of the American tobacco industry.
Product varieties
The manufacturer produces four different types of Marco Polo cigarillos:
- Classic. These products are preferred by connoisseurs of good original tobacco without any flavoring. While smoking such cigarillos, the charm of an exquisite blend is felt.
- Cherry The aroma of cherries partly softens the strength of tobacco.
- Vanilla The taste of sweet vanilla makes the smoking process itself especially enjoyable.
- Cappuccino. This aroma is especially liked by coffee lovers.
Each representative of this line has its own supporters. The manufacturer chose the most popular fragrances for his products. In addition, they combine perfectly with the taste of good tobacco, creating together a fairly balanced and harmonious composition. Any of these cigarillos will be a great addition to a quality strong alcoholic drink. It will be pleasant to smoke them alone to cheer up or in the company of good friends for a warm, relaxed conversation.
Unbiased opinions
Russian smokers are not very familiar with the Marco Polo cigarillos. The reviews of those who were fortunate enough to try them are mixed. Among the positive characteristics noted unobtrusive and very pleasant taste. Of course, because for the filling, a mixture of the five best varieties is used. In addition, tobacco burns slowly and this makes it possible to slowly enjoy its unique taste. Such a cigarilla can be smoked for about 20 minutes. But if you just put it in an ashtray, it immediately fades. This is very good and suggests that the manufacturer does not use any additives to enhance traction. But many buyers are still embarrassed by a cover homogenized sheet. Some even claim that while smoking, glycerol tastes in the mouth. But such an opinion is extremely rare. Almost all buyers note a low price of the product. However, some are not comfortable with its soft packaging.
Striving for comfort, many prefer rigid cardboard bundles. But this was the main idea of the manufacturer - to make packaging in the spirit of the Old World. Otherwise, the quality of the products is considered decent and quite acceptable for daily smoking.
Cigarillo Fortress
Before you purchase a new product, you need to know about it in more detail. What about the Marco Polo cigarillos? The nicotine content in them is unknown. On the pack it is not indicated. Nevertheless, it is safe to say that this figure is much higher in them than even in the strongest cigarettes. After all, the filling and casing of cigarillos are made of tobacco.
Therefore, such products must be smoked in a special way. It is impossible to drag on them like simple cigarettes. Strong smoke will not allow you to take a deep breath. Such items need to be smoked, like cigars, enjoying the aroma of smoke in your mouth. This is inconvenient to do on the go. Cigarillos are not created for this. They should be smoked slowly, taking a shallow breath. From the outside it may seem that a person is just blowing smoke. This is the classic way commonly used by cigar lovers. Nevertheless, such a product is often chosen even by women. Perhaps for them delicate aromas of vanilla, cherry and cappuccino are created.
