This mixed pack from PDR Cigars brings five 6x52 Toros to your humidor at $197.32 for 25 sticks. The sampler's magic lies in its variety - you get five different blends wrapped in oily San Andrés Maduro leaves. Newbies dig the approachable flavors while veterans appreciate the construction quality. Perfect for exploring Nicaraguan-Dominican hybrids without commitment.
Expect a sweet opening volley - think molasses-drenched cedar with baking spice undertones. Smoke production stays moderate, allowing the espresso bean and black pepper notes to emerge cleanly. The draw's slightly firm but consistent.
Cocoa powder dominates as the burn line crosses the second band. Charred meat complexity develops alongside occasional floral hints. Watch for nicotine strength building up - this is where the Dominican fillers show their muscle.
Mineral-driven finish with wet earth and dark cherry preserves. Some blends introduce salty tang while others ramp up cinnamon heat. Burn stays even though tar buildup requires slower pacing. Retrohale reveals hidden leather layers.
Tri-national blend using Dominican Piloto Seco binders and Nicaraguan Estelí fillers aged 3+ years. The Mexican San Andrés wrappers undergo triple fermentation to reduce bite. Hand-rolled in PDR's Dominican factory using "entubado" bunching method for optimal airflow. Box-pressed versions appear randomly in samplers.
