RoMa Craft Intemperance BA XXI Avarice

The Intemperance line was RoMa Craft Tobac's second act after CroMagnon, and it split into two complementary blends named after American constitutional history. The BA XXI references the 21st Amendment, which repealed Prohibition in 1933. Its wrapper is the rare differentiator: a Brazilian Arapiraca, a tobacco grown in northeastern Brazil that's distinct from the more common Mata Fina and brings a savory, earthy character unlike most Central American or Cameroon wrappers. The Avarice — a 4½ × 52 Short Robusto — is the most accessible size in the lineup.

What it tastes like

The Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper is the star here. It imparts a savory, almost barbecue-adjacent quality — reviewers frequently reach for smoked meat analogies — that's unusual in the cigar world. An Indonesian binder and a blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers fill out the profile with earth, leather, and cedar. Natural sweetness threads through the draw, and as the Avarice burns into its second half, the savory notes mellow and a vanilla-like smoothness emerges. Medium in body, this is a cigar that prioritizes flavor range over raw strength.

Who it's for

The Intemperance BA XXI Avarice is an excellent choice for experienced smokers who want to explore unusual wrapper tobaccos without being hammered by nicotine. The Brazilian Arapiraca is rare in the boutique market — if you've never had one, this is the entry point. Pair it with a rye whiskey or cold brew coffee and give the savory notes time to develop.
