This 5 3/4" Toro with a 54 ring gauge rolls out creamy vibes at $144 per box of 20. The Ecuadorian-grown Connecticut Shade wrapper feels like buttered toast crust - golden-brown and slightly oily under the fingers. Dominican filler tobaccos bring their A-game, clocking medium strength that won't knock newbies sideways. Construction? Tighter than a drumhead with a triple cap that cuts cleaner than a sushi chef.
First Third: Cold draw serves hay bales and cashew butter. Initial puffs burst with cinnamon sugar toast - think breakfast at grandma's. Smoke output leans modest but creamy, no white pepper surprises here.
Middle Third: Peruvian tobacco flexes with damp cedar notes. Retrohale unveils baking spices - cardamom doing the tango with nutmeg. Burn line stays laser-straight, ash holding firm for two inches.
Final Stretch: Nicaraguan leaf charges in at the band point - dark cocoa nibs and walnut skins. Last inch gets feisty with black coffee bitterness, nicotine strength bumping to medium-full. Smart move to ditch before the nub.
The triple cap survives three punch cuts without unraveling. Wrapper shows two visible veins but zero soft spots. Foot tobacco packs slightly denser than the head - needs extra toasting for even lightoff. Resting at 65% RH for 60 days improves draw resistance noticeably.
