The cigar’s wrapper is thick and somewhat rustic in appearance, looking similar to other Cuban-seed hybrids that come out of Connecticut, which typically require years of heavy fermentation. The leaf is mottled in coloring and has reddish undertones, though this may be amplified from the brick-colored theme of the cigar’s bands. As the leaf is thick (and somewhat toothy), the seams are not perfect, appearing loose at certain portions of the cigar. The underlying tobacco bunch is firm, giving the toro a solid overall feel.
There are notes of cedar, musk, mineral, and peppercorn on the cigar’s wrapper. The foot is sweeter, with brown sugar, corn chips, and aromatic oregano-like characteristics. On the pre-light draw, the resistance seems virtually perfect, bringing out more oregano, sweet beef jerky, and grainy wheat wafers.
