Description

What It Tastes Like
With no dated independent review of this size found, the guide is the maker’s: Lure describes leather, baking spice, dried fruit, milky coffee and orange peel at medium-plus strength.
In another size, Cigar Coop’s William Cooper scored the 6 x 52 Big Lou toro 89 on June 11, 2025, picking up pepper, earth, cream and cherry, with strength reaching full late.
Who It’s For
- Robusto smokers who want more girth without adding length.

- Newer smokers ready for more flavor and strength, a group Lure says this blend is meant to serve.

About the Corojo Oscuro Line
Cigar Coop calls Corojo Oscuro Lure’s first blend, and Lou Cross said in an October 2025 Smokingpipes interview that the brand debuted on Black Friday 2023. Cigar Coop’s March 2025 report credited Tabacalera Pagés with production; in that later interview Cross said Lure is rolled at La Tabacaria in EstelÃ.
