Description
The Diamond Crown Julius Caeser Toro measures 6 x 52, combining an Ecuadorian Havana wrapper with a Dominican binder. Filler origin is reported differently: J.C. Newman lists Caribbean and Central American tobaccos, while Cigar Aficionado’s ratings record Dominican filler. It comes from Tabacalera A. Fuente, the Fuente family’s Dominican factory.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado gave the Toro 90 points in August 2014, calling it medium-bodied: sweet at first, then cinnamon and candied orange peel, burning slowly and drawing evenly. Its December 2019 tasting scored it 86 and rated it medium-full, woody with a tart edge, a hint of sweetness and a finish reminiscent of sawdust. Cigar Coop rated it 89 in August 2024, finding nuts, cedar, earth, lemon peel and black pepper.
Who It’s For
- Toro smokers who want this blend in a classic 6 x 52.
