The Romeo y Julieta Eternal Toro punches above its weight with a 6x54 Nicaraguan puro packed with 26-month-aged Maduro wrapper. This limited edition box of 11 commemorates the brand's 145th anniversary through Plasencia family-grown tobacco from Jalapa and Estelí regions. The triple cap construction holds firm while that oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper shimmers like aged leather.
First Third: Kicks off with roasted almond and 70% dark chocolate bitterness. Medium smoke output carries subtle cedar wood notes without overwhelming pepper spice.
Middle Third: Transitions to caramelized sweetness and espresso bean earthiness. The Plasencia Ometepe tobacco shows through with wet stone minerality while cinnamon spice lingers on retrohale.
Final Third: Develops fig compote jamminess wrapped in saddle leather. Creaminess emerges unexpectedly in last inch despite visible tar buildup at cut head.
The box-pressed toro burns slower than average with layered white ash. Requires precise V-cut for optimal airflow - guillotine cutters tend to compress the densely packed filler. While the triple cap prevents unwrapping, the oily wrapper demands dry-boxing for 48 hours to prevent canoeing in humid climates.
Blends Jalapa Valley's floral sweetness with Estelí's volcanic soil spice. The San Andrés binder contributes dark fruit undertones through 90-day pit fermentation. Though bearing Cuban heritage branding, actual production occurs at Plasencia's Nicaraguan factory using 5-year-aged stock.
