RoMa Craft Tobac, led by Skip Martin, is a small-batch craft cigar maker producing bold, full-flavored blends at its Nica Sueno factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. Its acclaimed CroMagnon, Aquitaine, Intemperance, Neanderthal, and Baka lines have earned a devoted following among experienced smokers. Intemperance BA XXI was introduced in 2012 alongside the Ecuadorian Connecticut-wrapped Intemperance EC XVIII, BA standing for the Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper that defines the blend; the Vanity arrived in August 2014 as the BA XXI entry in a rarely seen 5 1/2 x 37 panatela sampler that also held the Intemperance EC XVIII Humility and the CroMagnon and Aquitaine Breuil, with that first run capped at 225 samplers. Because RoMa Craft has struggled to source Arapiraca leaf that meets its standards the line ships only intermittently, going on hiatus in 2022 before returning to shelves in November 2025.
A dark Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper over an Indonesian binder and long-filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, built in the Vanity (Panatela) format at 5 1/2 x 37. Hand-rolled at Fabrica de Tabacos Nica Sueno S.A. in Esteli, Nicaragua and blended by Skip Martin. As throughout the line, the wrapper stops just short of the foot, leaving a sliver of binder and filler exposed so the smoker briefly tastes the blend without the wrapper.
Medium to full-bodied — cocoa, coffee, black pepper, cedar, and earth from the Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper, with a smooth, even finish.
Alcoholic: a bold bourbon or an aged rum. Non-Alcoholic: a dark-roast coffee.
A rewarding after-dinner smoke. Allow 60 minutes.
