Description
The Powstanie San Andres Toro is a 6 x 52 that pairs a Mexican San Andrés wrapper with an Ecuadorian habano binder and filler grown in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. halfwheel and Cigar Coop both credit the Nica Sueño S.A. factory in Nicaragua with making it.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Press reviewed this Toro and found cocoa with a light citrus edge before lighting and hay, wood and earth on the cold draw; once lit, red and black pepper came through on the retrohale over thick, creamy smoke. For the smaller Robusto, Cigar Coop’s August 18, 2025 review scored the cigar 88 and tracked cocoa, fruity sweetness, earth and cedar, with white pepper arriving in the middle. halfwheel’s Belicoso notes add leather, bread, nuts and a starchy, potato-chip-like note.
