Candido Giovanella Alemo Cacau

Cândido Giovanella is a brand produced in the Curitiba region of Paraná and considered one of the oldest pipe tobacco names in the Brazilian domestic market; the maker is Imigrantes Ind. e Com. de Fumos Ltda. Alemão Cacau is the cocoa-flavored version of the brand's "Alemão" line. Its base is sun-dried, lightly toasted golden Brazilian Virginia leaf and black Cavendish; a measured cocoa flavoring is applied on top. The cocoa leaves a dry, chocolatey background rather than a heavy syrupy sweetness. Being light in nicotine and mild on the palate, it suits smokers in their early pipe years and those looking for an everyday smoke. It's usually sold in bulk or in airtight aluminum packaging.
