Flavor profile
Earthy · Creamy · Roast · Spice · Sweet
Project 40 (its full vitola name is 06.52) is Alec Bradley's smooth, value-friendly Toro, made at the J. Fuego factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. The blend pairs a reddish Nicaraguan Colorado wrapper with a Brazilian binder and Nicaraguan long-fillers. The 06.52 is a 6 x 52.
What it tastes like
This is an easygoing, well-rounded smoke. The Colorado wrapper brings cedar and a creamy, coffee-like sweetness, with only a light pepper in the background. It smokes right around medium — flavorful and smooth, with the kind of balance that makes it a comfortable choice for a relaxed session. Construction and burn are solid.
Who it's for
Project 40 is a great pick for someone who wants a flavorful Nicaraguan cigar without too much intensity, and it's friendly to the wallet too. If you're comparing it to other origins, our Cuban vs Nicaraguan cigars guide is a good read. Newer smokers can check the cigar strength guide to set expectations.
Log it and rate it in your humidor with the Casa DNC app. For a bolder all-Nicaraguan Alec Bradley, try the Alec Bradley Nica Puro Toro.
