The best budget cigar Ive had the pleasure of smoking. I would say its more medium than medium to full. Would highly recommend this to anyone getting into cigars and looking for a cigar which is not going to break the bank.

Great cigar for the price. Good construction, even burn and good draw. Mild to medium body at light up with mocha, milk chocolate and wood flavours into the first third. Light pepper through the retrohale. Smoke time was an hour and fifteen minutes for me. Hard to find a better cigar for £10 in the UK given the outrageous taxes on tobacco.

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.

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.
