In what will probably be our last published article until after Easter, our Review Panel weighs in on another offering from Reyes Family Cigars, giving the Cuba Aliados Originales Toro three and a half stars

Cuba Aliados Originales Toro

Published Monday, March 30, 2009
Compiled by Doug McGuire (Mad Dawg)

I found this cigar to be fairly well made, with a slightly open draw and an even burn. Although a bit on the mild side for my tastes, it offered a simple yet pleasant flavor profile that featured notes of cedar, leather, and earth. A pleasant morning cigar, or at any time a simpler smoke is desired..

The Cuba Aliados Originales line comes in five sizes, all packed in boxes of 20:

Media Corona (5.5x44)

Corona (6.5x46)

Robusto (5x50)

Toro (6x52)

Churchill (7x48)

Best of all, box prices range from $44.95 to $64.95, making these an excellent value smoke. Available exclusively from Holt’s: http://www.holts.com/category.html?id=201729

Thx, Tommy.

Hey Doug, you said they were "slightly open" on the draw, at approximately what RH did you smoke that toro?

Thanks for the reviews.

Should have been around 63%, Joel. I think they had enough time to equilibrate.

Here are my pics for reviewing the two samples I had for this cigar. From what the other reviewers said, it seemed like we were smoking different cigars.
