Santiago Cabana Maduro Toro Cigar Review

Posted on Monday, November 9, 2009 in Cigar Reviews

This 6×50 dark chocolate stick offered a slightly toothy, satin wrapper with a nice firm construction. Burn time to the band was just over an hour with a draw that started slightly firm and ended slightly loose with a good burn. Flavors present were medium bodied overall with a few distinct transitions. The first third was the typical maduro cigar – slightly sweet, good pepper and spice kick and a light leather. Later flavors included a creamyness, a deeper earth and a bigger peppercorn zing. Thank you CSMoFo (Joe) for sending this to me! Photography by BG Pictures.

My favorite cigar for the last few years has been the El Original Toro maduro which I believe is the same cigar as reviewed. This cigar pushed the Don Carlos double robusto to number two and third the Hemingways as my cigar choices. I have 49 years now as a cigar smoker.
I just came upon your site a couple of days ago. I have not smoked a Perdomo but thought about the Habano and finally ordered some after your review.
