The El Centurion Toro from My Father Cigars hits like a Nicaraguan flavor bomb packed into 6 1/4" of pure craftsmanship. This $169.20/box beauty shows off Jose Pepin Garcia's mastery with quadruple-tobacco alchemy - Criollo 98 wrapper hugging Sancti Spiritus filler magic from Cuba's heartland. Expect medium-full nicotine kick perfect for after-dinner adventures.
Cold draw serves earthy barnyard with cinnamon sprinkle. The opening salvo punches with black pepper (nostril-tickling retrohale) and espresso bitterness. Wait 15 minutes - caramel sweetness emerges through cedar smoke clouds.
Nicaraguan volcanic soil minerality takes center stage. Dark chocolate mingles with leathery undertones, while Sancti Spiritus filler adds unexpected raisin sweetness. Watch out - tar buildup starts around band removal.
Brazilian coffee bean explosion meets macadamia nut creaminess. Strength ramps up to full-bodied territory - not for nicotine lightweights. Ditch at 1" nub unless you enjoy ashy bitterness.
That Sancti Spiritus filler isn't just marketing fluff - these Cuban-seed leaves grown in Nicaragua's Jalapa Valley add signature dried fruit sweetness. Triple fermentation process tames the Criollo 98 wrapper's natural spice into leathery smoothness.
