What It Tastes Like
No independent outlet has reviewed the Toro, so these notes borrow from the 5 x 50 Robusto with the same blend. Cigar Insider gave that Robusto 91 points on October 25, 2022, describing a festive run of gingerbread and warm spices, molasses-like sweetness and a sweetened-tea close. Blind Man’s Puff tasters picked up salted dark chocolate with leather and black pepper in the opening third and a touch of cinnamon near the end, while Cigar Czars felt the strength build through the back half.
