Description
The Madre Tierra San Andres Toro is a 6 x 52 toro that puts a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over Dominican binder and filler tobacco. Madre Tierra lists it among the toro blends it hand-rolls in Tamboril, Dominican Republic.
What It Tastes Like
Stogie Press reviewed the San Andres Toro on September 5, 2023, scoring it 88 points and rating its strength medium. The reviewer met a jolt of pepper with flowers and soft spice early, then nuts and fruit near the midpoint before a turn toward cream and coffee. Late in the smoke, sour, tannic flavors took over, and the reviewer liked that stretch least. The draw ran a little snug, and the cigar took roughly 100 minutes to finish.
Who It’s For
- Fans of Mexican San Andrés leaf who want to try it over an all-Dominican core.
- Smokers working through the Madre Tierra toros to taste how one wrapper changes a shared 6 x 52 frame.
- Anyone with close to two hours free for one cigar.
