Henry Clay War Hawk Toro

The Henry Clay War Hawk Toro - a 6x50 parejo with medium strength - sits at $8.67 per stick in 25-count boxes. This Nicaraguan puro swaps Connecticut Broadleaf for a smoother Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, revealing earthy tones with cocoa undertones. I lit one after 30 days of humidor rest, noticing immediate pepper spice that mellowed into creaminess. The triple cap construction held ash for nearly two inches.

Burn & Draw Experience

The initial cold draw offered barnyard earthiness with a sweet tip. At light-up:

  • First Third: Black pepper dominant, cedar notes emerging at 1/2" burn line
  • Middle Third: Cocoa powder surfaces, pepper transitions to red chili flakes
  • Final Third: Espresso bitterness cuts through creamy texture

Comparison Picks

  • Drew Estate Undercrown Maduro Toro: 6x52, sweeter chocolate notes
  • Perdomo Habano Sun Grown: 6x54, cedar-forward with cinnamon spice
  • La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor: 6x52, richer espresso and leather profile

Final Thoughts

The War Hawk delivers consistent smoke output without needing touch-ups. While the first third's pepper might deter beginners, the transition to cocoa-coffee makes it worthy of your midday rotation. Pair with black coffee to amplify the earthy core.
