This box-pressed Toro commemorating the Padron family's legacy delivers Nicaraguan power in its purest form. Measuring 6"x52 with a $298.50/10ct price tag, the dark maduro wrapper hides 10-year-aged tobacco that'll make your humidor tremble with anticipation. The double bands aren't just for show - that numbered authenticity label separates real deals from wannabes.
Black coffee grounds and 70% dark chocolate dominate, with baking spices sneaking through the dense smoke. The box press creates razor-sharp burn lines despite the oily wrapper.
Nicaraguan volcanic soil minerals emerge beneath caramelized walnut notes. Watch for occasional pepper spikes - this cigar's got claws beneath its polished exterior.
Leather and charred oak take over as nicotine strength peaks. Most smokers tap out around the band point, but warriors who continue find lingering molasses sweetness in the nub.
Sourced from Jalapa Valley's iron-rich volcanic soil and Estelí's punchier leaves, the maduro wrapper undergoes double fermentation at 158°F to achieve its patent-leather sheen. The "book binding" rolling technique ensures slow combustion - you'll get 90+ minutes from this Toro if you nurse it right.
