One of my favorite blends! The Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon! The robusto is probably my favorite of the line, but this review today is for the Toro.
This cigar has a great looking wrapper with a decent amount of tooth, which is standard for a Cameroon (tooth is the little bumps you find in the leaf).
The stick is firm but has an easy pre-light draw. Historically this blend sometimes has draw problems but not this fellah!
I love the flavor of this blend: it’s toasty and oaky and a little nutty. There is also a touch of coffee on the finish with just a bit of sweetness. Throughout the smoke, hints of cinnamon or nutmeg pop in and out. About halfway through the stick you are rewarded with rich licorice and espresso flavors.
This cigar is medium in body and strength and can be smoked morning to night. There is a reason this cigar is one of my “Go To” smokes. It’s a great cigar!
