What it tastes like
The Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Dominican-Nicaraguan fillers give a smooth, shade-grown profile: cream and cedar, toasted almond, light coffee, and a gentle toastiness. The toro adds a little more depth than the robusto while keeping the body in the mild-medium range. The burn is clean and the smoke cool, making this an undemanding cigar you can enjoy over a relaxed hour.
Who it's for
A great everyday or morning option for smokers who prefer mild-to-medium cigars over bold, peppery ones. Our cigar strength guide helps place where this sits on the spectrum.
