Description
The Madre Tierra Habano Toro is a 6 x 52 toro wrapped in Ecuadorian Habano leaf, with a Dominican binder and Dominican filler according to the maker. It is one of nine Toro blends the maker lists, all made in the same 6 x 52 size.
What It Tastes Like
Stogie Press scored the Habano Toro 93 points on September 9, 2023, and judged it medium in strength. Their reviewer picked up leather and spice at the start, along with fruit, flowers and walnut. By the midpoint the fruit had turned more citrusy and a little cream softened things. The last third brought extra spice and a nutty finish that stayed after each draw. The sample came from the company, which is common for reviews.
Who It’s For
- Habano wrapper fans who like Ecuadorian leaf over Dominican tobacco.
- Smokers moving past mild cigars who want a medium-strength Habano to try next.
- Anyone sampling the Madre Tierra range, since the matching 6 x 52 frame makes wrapper comparisons easy.

Pairing and Storage
A medium-strength Habano like this one sits well next to bourbon, a Rioja or a cup of espresso. Our cigar pairing guide explains why those drinks suit a medium smoke.
