Description
The Stallone Palomino Connecticut Toro is a 6 x 54 toro dressed in a pale U.S. Connecticut shade wrapper, with Nicaraguan tobacco in both the binder and the filler. It belongs to Stallone’s six-blend Cowboy Series, which names each blend for a horse whose coat matches its wrapper shade; Cigar Coop lists the Palomino’s leaf as light colored.
What It Tastes Like
With no published Toro review, the closest guide is the same-blend Palomino Robusto. Stogie Press scored that smaller size 92 points on September 28, 2021, and judged it mild to medium. After a rough start, the reviewer picked up early pepper, then cedar, buttery nuts drifting toward cashew, espresso and lemongrass, with cream, cocoa and dried fruit late.
Who It’s For
- Morning or daytime smokers after a pale, gentle wrapper on a roomy 54 ring.
- Curious Connecticut fans who want to see how shade leaf pairs with an all-Nicaraguan core.
- Anyone exploring Stallone who wants to start at the lighter end of the Cowboy Series.
