Victor Sinclair Triple Corojo Toro Cigar Review

Posted on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 in Cigar Reviews

This 6×50 medium tan stick offers a soft satin wrapper with minimal veins and very smooth seams with a triple cap. Body started medium-full pulling down to a medium by the 2nd third. Strength slowly built up to full by the end of the stick at the 1:10 hour mark. Burn and draw were both excellent from start to finish, holding a very straight burn with just the right amount of resistance. Flavors were fairly consistent to the last third, giving a smooth, slightly chewy smoke with a creamy leather and slight pepper kick. The finish was long, growing heavy and slightly bitter as it burned down. The final third brought a creamy chewy earthiness with a hint of licorice, and a cleaner finish of oil, cream and the same chewiness on the palate. The only problem with this stick was a terrible band glue job, with a huge glob on the wrapper taking a chunk with the band. Luckily it did not breach and still smoked perfectly. Thank you very much to Ken Glass for sending this in for review! Photography by BG Pictures.

Bryan, Thats why I love to see your take on cigars-, thanks!!I get these, kinda cheap–but hard to smoke until about half way, then I start getting a lot of the tastes I like. The band thing is crazy–I’m used to a band coming off–no hassles. Great review! as you know, I smoke top shelf, and others–some are better that others. I tend to like a stronger cigar, but not always. Thanks.

I have enjoyed many Victor Sinclair Cigars. Really never had one I didn’t consider good. Many times they are quite reasonable on CigarBid.Com.
Be well,
Lenny

Victor Sinclair’s good construction, good burn, and then you try to take off the band . . . I have smoked the Primeros line (nice mild) and the Connecticut Yankee (blech!) and both were smoking nicely until I tried to take off the band. Same problem as Brian with the Krazy Glue. If they fix the band problem I would love to try the rest of the Sinclairs.

Hey. Just finished smoking one of these.

I had 2 dominant flavours: a dusty cocoa, and something sweet and a bit sour. Sort of like apple. More sour in my two previous smokes, just sweet in my most recent one.

I did have the band issue, although in my case it also didn’t damage the cigar. Maybe they glue it to a non-essential part of the wrapper??

Mine were surprisingly full, too. Not overly, but noticeable.

Cheers
