REVIEW

This box pressed cigar comes to us for the My Monthly Cigars June box. With excellent construction, the wrapper is quite dark and has a cocoa hue with almost no veining. Interestingly, the wrapper tends to be darker on the foot and fades lighter towards a well placed cap. The preignition aroma is of a strong and pleasing combination of hay, cocoa and dried figs. A straight cut leads to a medium draw.

Into the introductory notes and a toasted bread and a dark roasted coffee merges well on the pallet. The retro is smooth and offers up an oily and sweet finish so early in the experience. About the ¼ mark and consistent in strength. The intro notes carry on merging with a dark cocoa that finishes intensely on a very long lasting finish. Although the burn is a bit crooked, it's burning well and offers a bright gray ash on a wavering thin ash fringe.

Into the 2/3 and buttery smooth! The finish is the center of this cigar as consistent notes are met with the mildest of bakers spice and raw sugar. Well passed the halfway marker and the burn line has corrected itself. The notes are consistent, offering an almost “coffee cake” experience. The finish remains the focal point alongside a very smooth and tasty retrohale.

Into the concluding 3/3 and a pepper (burn, cayenne) has made its way on stage, moving our experience to medium. The notes and general values of the cigar are consistent and delicious as the raw sugar starts to climb.. Finishing into the nub and still consistent with another climb in strength and pepper. A great cigar with tremendous mouth/palate taste from Torano Cigars.
