This box-pressed Nicaraguan torpedo brings serious firepower to your humidor. At 6" x54, the XV Anniversary Toro packs a full-bodied punch with dark San Andrés Maduro wrapper gleaming like fresh motor oil. The 2020 Cigar of the Year winner delivers complex flavors at under $14/stick - a steal for this caliber of craftsmanship.
The cold draw oozes chocolate syrup and espresso bean notes. Initial puffs deliver thick espresso creaminess with black pepper kick on retrohale. Earthy undertones emerge alongside a molasses sweetness that keeps the boldness in check.
Flavors deepen into charred oak territory - imagine dark roast coffee brewed with cocoa nibs. Pepper spice mellows slightly while roasted cashew nuttiness appears. Construction shines with razor-sharp burn line despite the dense pack.
Leather and mineral notes dominate the home stretch. Nicotine strength becomes pronounced - not for novices. Sweetness transforms into licorice snap, balancing the earthy onslaught. Expect heavy oil buildup in the final inch.
