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!





These were excellent sticks, and an absolute bargain at 3 bucks a pop. I grew up very near the factory on Calle Ocho in Miami and would bring back a bundle when I visited home. Alas! I hadn’t been down there in some time and they appeared to be closed when I was in town last month. I suppose that Señor Cabana has passed. RIP, your Toro Maduro will be sorely missed.
