The Flor de las Antillas Maduro Toro hits your humidor like a box-pressed revelation from My Father Cigars. This 6"x52 toro comes bundled in 20-count boxes costing $176.40 - about $8.82 per smoke. Wrapped in that gorgeous Ecuadorian Habano Maduro leaf, it's got more sweet kick than the original blend while keeping that signature Nicaraguan fire. Newbies might want to grab a drink pairing, but Maduro fans will dig the cocoa-espresso punch.
Cold draw serves sweet raisins and leather. Initial puffs blast pepper that mellow into baking spices - think nutmeg dusted over dark chocolate. Smoke output's medium but clingy, leaving trails that smell like your grandpa's pipe tobacco jar.
The party starts when espresso grounds mix with burnt caramel sweetness. Retrohale stings pleasantly with cinnamon heat. Watch that box-pressed shape - burns straighter than most parejos but needs occasional touch-ups in humid climates.
Nicaraguan strength comes through charred cedar and black coffee bitterness. Some get mineral twang like licking a wet stone. Nub it carefully - last inch amps up nicotine buzz that'll floor casual smokers.
Rolled in Esteli using San Andrés Valley maduro wrappers over Nicaraguan fillers. Garcia family's secret sauce? Aging those binders twice as long as industry standard. That's why you get zero harshness despite the power.
