Crafted by Grupo de Maestros in La Romana, these twisted parejos ship with Boveda packs for ideal humidity. The spiral wrapper isn't just aesthetics - it creates better airflow than traditional toros. While marketed as medium-bodied, I'd peg it closer to mild-plus, making it perfect for 90-minute smoking sessions without overwhelming newer enthusiasts.
