This one is pretty fresh, but I had to try one. It's also bigger than I would normally buy at 56 RG. I either misread the description or ordered the wrong size by mistake (Toro Grande instead of regular Toro).

It got off to a slow start, but eventually opened up into a nice medium+ with a tasty Habano spice from the wrapper and the woody, slightly creamy, slightly peppery Dominican & Nicaraguan filler working well together. With a little time to settle just a bit I think these will be excellent. Also I think the Robusto or Toro would be a bit better.

Well, another of my patented “I have no idea what the hell this is!” Toro size, no band, it was either an unlabeled second from years ago or maybe an “alternative”

Whatever it is it’s a flawlessly rolled mild/med to medium stick. Little black pepper on the retrohale, I’m bad at describing them but coffee leather and earth are in there. Probably cheap (natch). Thoroughly enjoying it, though.

Perfect construction and burn. Which makes me think it’s a second from a good brand.
