What It Tastes Like
Cigar Insider’s August 11, 2026 rating of this exact size picks up pecan and honey sweetness against chili-flake heat, plus some oak and cinnamon, finishing on cedar, and calls the strength medium-full. halfwheel’s undated review covered the 6 x 56 Toro instead: wood, earth, leather and salty pepper first, later nuts, berry sweetness and lemon, with strength rising toward full. A sponsored A.J. Fernandez feature hosted on Cigar Aficionado’s site rates it medium in strength, with earth, wood, spice and a little citrus.
