Description
The LFD Solis Toro is a 6 1/2 x 50 cigar, which La Flor Dominicana calls the Toro Extra, pairing a sun-grown Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and Dominican filler from the company’s La Canela farm. Cigar Coop lists it as the only Solis size.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado scored this exact 6 1/2 x 50 at 90 points twice, in the February 7, 2023 Cigar Insider and the June 1, 2023 magazine, and rated it medium-full. Tasters found a brisk white-pepper opening that settled into dark coffee, walnut husk and a meaty savoriness, with a coconut accent ahead of an espresso close. Cigar Coop gave it 91 in September 2023, leading with earth and raw tobacco over cedar, dried fruit, baking spice and black pepper, the pepper and cedar turning bolder past the midpoint.
Who It’s For
- Pepper seekers drawn to sun-grown Habano leaf.
- Smokers stepping up from medium cigars, as reviewers place it at medium-full.
- La Nox fans curious about its daytime counterpart.
