El Centurion is a Nicaraguan puro that shows off the García family's own farms from wrapper to core. The Toro, at 6.25 x 52, is dressed in a sun-grown Criollo wrapper that's been aged three years, sitting over a Nicaraguan binder and a complex filler of Criollo, Corojo, and Sancti Spiritus tobaccos.
What it tastes like
This one leans into rich, slightly sweet complexity. Cedar leads, joined by a distinctive honeyed note, baking spice, cocoa, and a measured pepper. The all-Nicaraguan blend gives it depth and that earthy Estelí character, landing at medium-full — substantial and layered but well-balanced. Construction is excellent, with an even burn and a comfortable draw that lets the flavors build.
Who it's for
The fuller body and layered profile make this a smoke for experienced palates who appreciate a true puro. Because every leaf comes from Nicaragua, it's an ideal example for our Cuban vs Nicaraguan comparison, and our cigar strength guide helps place where medium-full sits.
