New OSOK Toro

Edgar Hoill left CLE a couple of years back and is now working with Casa Turrent in Mexico. This new OSOK blend is truly exceptional.

Beautiful smooth dark-chocolate colored wrapper. Clean cut and it burned good the whole time.

The first third was surprisingly medium-bodied, with peppery cocoa notes. The smoke was thick and almost creamy on both the release and the retrohale.

When I got to the second third, the San Andreas tobacco really kicked it up about 5 notches. This cigar is all San Andreas, which might be intimidating for a lot of smokers. The earthy nature of the San Andreas took over most of the flavor, although the cocoa and pepper remained.

Approaching the last inch, the strength remained full and steady. The construction of the cigar was excellent and the consistency of the draw was great. Just not recommended for new smokers or people who don't like the particulars of San Andreas. I will say that I still prefer the OSOK Travesio, which he has re-released to retailers after four years of aging (along with the rest of the CLE-era OSOKs), but this is a solid cigar. 9/10, Joe Bob says check it out.

Sorry for no pics, I flaked out and left my phone at home when I went to the shop where I smoked the cigar.
