This good sized cigar with a smooth construction is a nice stick to look at. The one I picked up was a Toro, a good thick cigar. It was a warm day and a light wrap seemed to be what I needed.
Most people would call the a Connecticut wrap, it isn't. It is the same shade, but the leaf itself is Ecuadorian (according to research). For terms of being simple, I will just say it is a Connecticut. The Nicaruagan fillers add a nice balance to the overall flavor, to help keep it light, but not too light.
This cigar was evenly packed and well put together. The wrap itself was very smooth.
Despite not being too light, this is a very light cigar. When you smell and strike this smoke you are blanketed with a smoother creamy flavor. This cigar almost makes you feel cool on a hot day (which is what I had it on).
The nice mellow creamy flavor stays with you for a short while, leaving a little sweetness in the aftertaste. While smoking this it may remind you of a light wood flavor. I wouldn't say cedar. It was hard to put my finger on it, but it was there, so subtly.
The aftertaste stayed with you just long enough, not leaving early, nor overstaying its welcome. The aroma and aftertaste are just as grand as the cigar itself, and just as smooth.
For $10.60, plus tax, this cigar is a great one to sit down with and cool off.
Final Grade: A-
