Was in a local shop this past weekend and being a sucker for cigars in the <$4 range I picked up a couple Toros.
Appearance: Light brown wrapper, looked like Connecticut Shade, but I'm no expert. A little rough looking, but I've seen many that were worse. No un-raveling. Draw: Bordered on the too tight side for my preference, but I figured what the heck, it was only $2. Burn: Started out fine, then progressed to un-even, but corrected by slightly rotating to keep the slower burning side on the bottom. I also noticed that by smoking more slowly, the erratic burn problem went away. Body: Light, no not Macanudo light, but lighter/milder than I generally prefer. Smoke volume: I'd call it acceptable. Nothing to write home about, but acceptable, IMHO. Aroma: Very pleasent, floral and spicy. Flavor: Now this is where this cigar was really shining! Floral with a touch of cinnamon flavor that I've found in some other cigars by Manual Quesada. Which I'm told this is a new release of his. To me, this was a very nice early morning cigar. It's not gonna snap you awake...but it certainly eases you into the start of the day in a pleasent manner Anybody else heard or tried these?
