This is a repeat review. Has a only improved with humidor time. I think this is a hidden gem. Rich roasted coffee with leather and baking spices. Burn and draw on point. Will definitely pick more of these up.

6 months humidor time. It has only improved. Rich dark flavor but very smooth. Burn and draw spot on. Not any transitions to speak of but a very good cigar for the price. Note this is a primarily Brazilian cigar which I have not seen many of.

Decent but underwhelming.

Hard draw, but chocolate/coffee and earthy tones gives this a heavier flavor without being a darker cigar overall. Glad I got the toro because this one took a while, so don’t know if I’d get the larger size.

Very much enjoyed this!

A good tasting cigar, hints of chocolate, malt, caramel, cedar right at the start. Thruought the 1st 1/3 to half. Brown sugar, dark chocolate, malt, cream, pepper, cherries, caramel, cedar, The transitions are a bit abrupt and no one flavor stands out. The 2nd half got better with sweetness and chocolate standing out and the pepper easing. Sadly during the 2nd half the wrapper started to come loose, a touch of arabic gum and I thought all was good. I was wrong another area popped loose and then a 3rd.

first third: very chocolaty. Earthy notes as well. Cigar seems to be overpacked and burns very slow. Light spice on throat as well. 2nd third: more chocolate flavor. Final third: even more chocolate!!! Final smoking time: 1:59. Final score 83.

I know it says it's 6x60 but for some reason if seems like a 64 or higher. Just a big cigar. Make sure you're not low on butane because it takes some serious effort to get lit. I ended up using a triple jet torch. For a dark cigar, it doesn't feel to strong until you inch toward the final third. Then, boom; it gets intense. For the most part a very pleasant, albeit rich, flavor. Coffee that develops sweetness as you keeping going. I wouldn't get it again in this size, but I would definitely try it in anything smaller than a 52 ring gauge. It got pretty tiring (as in physically draining) to smoke by the end.

Draw was a little tight but a really good cigar.
