Italy meets the Cappriccio, the cigarillo with a coffee aroma

The trend is clearly visible in Europe. The market for flavored cigarillos is growing exponentially. It’s not only future connoisseurs, but also traditional cigar savants who are succumbing to the temptation of a cigar with an extra flavor. 

The Cappriccio is a medium flavored cigar with a carbon filter and a reduced tobacco impact. This makes the coffee flavor more prominent. Our new friends are available in metal tubes, packed per 20 or per 5.

Feel like having one now? Don't hesitate in putting them to the test!
