Flor de las Antillas Toro

The Flor de las Antillas Toro from Don Pepin has it all. It is not for nothing that it was chosen as the best cigar of 2012 by the "Cigar Aficionado". A beautiful Toro, in which the strong, spicy aromas with hints of pepper and coffee can develop particularly well thanks to the beautiful workmanship. Recommended for lovers of Nicaraguan cigars as well as for Habanos fans.

This cigar is a sight to behold. The oily, shiny, sun-ripened wrapper from Nicaragua with the attractive belly band in vintage Cuba design is of excellent quality and immediately makes you want more. The cold smell already reveals delicious cocoa and coffee tones, which also appear again and again during the smoke. Subtle floral notes can also be detected when cold.

After lighting, aromas of white pepper are particularly present, which wonderfully complement the earthy, spicy basic tone. As the smoke continues, nutty nuances and leather tones are added.

 

The Flor de las Antillas Toro is characterized above all by its excellently balanced play of aromas, so that it fully deserves the title of "Best Cigar of the Year 2012". The thick, creamy smoke that literally melts on the tongue is also particularly nice with this Puro.

 

The draw is flawless, as is the burn, which quickly corrects itself if it occasionally burns crookedly at the beginning of the smoke.
