10TH ANNIVERSARY
Oscar Valladares 10th Anniversary Toro cigars were made to celebrate the company’s first decade in the premium cigar industry. Oscar first set up shop in 2012, and quickly gained fame and notoriety by creating unique premium cigars unlike any other, including the best-selling Leaf by Oscar, that was greeted with overwhelming popularity.
The blend features not one, but two wrappers: Mexican-grown EMS with a candela leaf placed at the foot of the cigar. Underneath is a Honduran binder and Nicaraguan long filler tobacco, both aged for at least five years.
With a green foot, this top-notch (6 x 52) Toro starts off with some herbal tones, soon followed by rich, medium-to-full bodied flavours of leather, cinnamon, spice, and cocoa, when the flame hits the darker part of the wrapper. Since the tobacco aging process takes a minimum of 5 years, Oscar Valladares 10th Anniversary Toro cigars will be released in very limited quantities.
