Candido Giovanella Cacau Cocoa

This is an aromatic record flavored with cocoa essence in Imigrantes Fumos's Cândido Giovanella line; the catalog appears to list the same flavor under different names. The base is built on Brazilian-grown Virginia leaf with black Cavendish and Burley, cut in ribbon.

In the smoke, cocoa's dry, lightly bitter sweetness leads; Cavendish gives a sugary depth, and Virginia a bready base. Nicotine and fullness are moderate, and the smoke stays cool. It suits those who enjoy dark, sweet aromatics and want a low-nicotine smoke.
