Bought a couple of these at the Chester branch alongside 4 x Robusto Extra and 2 x of the original range Picadillo format. Unfortunately both of the Toros were terrible in comparison - lacked flavour and burned terribly. A great pity as have seen other reviews which rate these as excellent, perhaps a poor batch that was stocked in the Chester branch. Ill stick with the smaller formats going forward given this experience.

This had a little taste of bitter spices and also an even burn. However the draw was very restricted but once got past the halfway mark it become easier to draw. Lasted a goof 40 minutes. This was a tester for me and will most probably buy again hopefully the draw will be better in another one. Tha draw was only reason I dropped stars.

After nearly 2 years in the humidor, I finally smoked my last Davidoff Orchant Selection. This is a perfect cigar. Very nice to look at, quite a substantial cigar, taking more than 2 hours to smoke, but it never got tiresome, and really only got better as time went on. This had an amazing savory mushroom, porchini dust aroma and the flavours were stunning from the off. Perfect draw from a very thin straight cut and loads of smoke production. Savory flavours with some sweet baked goods in there as well - never in danger of getting harsh, never went out even when left for a while. Brilliant cigar - would like to know which standard blend is this most like. Pricey but worth it.

Well constructed, superbly made, with an excellent draw - but unlikely to buy again. The first third was simply unenjoyable, with an ashy taste that kicked in far too fast, despite the second third smoothing out slightly.
I quit about halfway in - there is simply no joy in smoking half a cigar his big waiting for it to become a pleasure. And the smell and taste linger far too long. I had it after dinner. I shouldnt still be tasting it before lunch the next day, especially after I clean my teeth twice.
Pity - particularly given how well made it clearly is.

Arrived well-packed with a small Boveda sachet in the box. Contents did feel a bit dry so I put the cigars into a Boveda 69% bag. Over 3 weeks Ive now smoked half the contents and they are definitely getting better, burning slower and evenly with improving flavour. I didnt expect miracles at the price but with some humidification they make a very acceptable everyday smoke. Fast draws will cause heat and harshness so dont do it. Ill be happy to buy them again.

Idk if it was just the one that I received .. but I had a bad experience with this cigar , no aromas , no flavors , no nothing , just spicy from top to bottom . Felt like I was smoking pepper .
