How big is the La Promesa Toro?
My Father lists it at 6 x 52, a common toro size.

What does La Promesa mean?
“The Promise.” It refers to a vow José “Pepín” García made to his family before leaving Cuba: to prove himself in the cigar business. Cigar Aficionado and halfwheel date his departure to 2001, while JR Cigar says 2003. My Father adds that he also pledged to honor the family and its roots in tobacco.
