Meet the Rocky Patel Tavicusa Toro - a box-pressed toro (6.5"x52) celebrating the factory's 10th anniversary. This Nicaraguan puro with Mexican San Andres wrapper hits $10.8/stick in 20-count boxes. Perfect for those craving medium-full strength with oil-glazed dark wrapper and textbook construction.
Cold draw brings sweet cedar. Initial puffs release baking spices and damp earth. Watch that razor-sharp burn line while getting roasted almond notes. Retrohale shows black pepper without harshness.
Strength ramps up with espresso beans and charred oak. Thick smoke coats the tongue. Burns cooler than expected despite the 52 ring gauge. Cocoa powder emerges at halfway point.
Nicaraguan twang takes center stage - think leather saddle and molasses. Develops faint cinnamon sweetness before nicotine kicks in. Best to nub at 1.5" mark unless you're iron-lunged.
Rolled at TaviCusa factory (Estelí, Nicaragua) producing 7M cigars annually. The San Andres wrapper gets 18-month fermentation - you taste that earthy sweetness. Box-pressing technique creates perfect airflow for slow burns.
