Medium brown wrapper which has a touch of oil sheen. A little bit bumpy on appearance but solid roll throughout the stick.
Notes of leather / cedar on the pre light scent.
Starts off leathery, white pepper with a rich chewy body.
A bit of sweetness too.
Medium plus strength wise.
I find almost a graham cracker style flavor and coffee notes on the finish.
Whew, a full retro hale almost makes your eyes water with peppery spice.
Nice draw with solid grey ash and clouds of smoke.
The one I smoked today has some tunneling, yet this is the 5th out of a box and the only one with this issue.
Halfway through, creamy / leather body. Wood flavor with spice on the back of the palate.
Starting to pick up strength as the cigar progresses.
Finding some nuttiness flavor also.
The final third is consistent with the rest of the stick.
Haven't had the opportunity to try all the Torano line. But I find this one is a winner.
