It is a conventual sweet and one of the symbols of the Arcos de Valdevez confectionery. It has a cylindrical shape (like a cigar with 8 to 10 cm long and 2 cm diameter). The wrapper is made of wafer and fiiled with sweet egg cream. The name is registered by “Doçaria Central” since 1963, remaining the recipe a well kept secret. Other pastries shops began manufacturing the “Charutos dos Arcos”, presenting variations on the original recipe: adding almond, orange zest, malabar gourd, etc.
