Caprice
A small indulgence, taken short.
Gordito
105 mm · 58 ring gauge
The cigar
Each Caprice is made from Havana-seed Criollo 98, hand-rolled in East Java from tobacco that the volcanic soil of East Java has made its own.
Darker by intent. A Maduro wrapper, cured to a deeper sweetness, envelops a Gordito rolled short and thick. Spice opens, toasted nuts warm it through, and caramel rises to meet the cream.
The 24-carat gold leaf, laid by hand on every Mariposa, is the brand's signature. It stands as a quiet reminder that life isn't just to be lived, but to be celebrated.

Tasting Notes
-
First third
Spice opens the smoke, warmed through by a steady note of toasted nuts.
-
Second third
The spice softens as cream comes in, and a slow caramel sweetness builds underneath.
-
Final third
Spice returns alongside the nuts, the cream holds its line, and damp earth carries it home.
