The Cohiba Royale Toro Royale stands out with its 6-inch length and 50 ring gauge, offering about 90 minutes of smoking time. Packaged in boxes of 10 sticks priced at $310.41, this Dominican-crafted parejo combines Nicaraguan Jalapa wrapper with multi-origin fillers for a medium-full experience that's both accessible and complex.
The cold draw brings sweet cedar notes. Initial combustion releases baking spices and cashew nuttiness, with thick smoke production. The triple cap ensures razor-sharp burn line progression.
Peak complexity emerges at 35-minute mark - roasted coffee beans dominate with undercurrents of black cherry syrup. Retrohale reveals white pepper without harshness, showcasing perfect humidity balance.
Mineral earthiness intensifies past the band point. Cocoa powder emerges alongside subtle leather, requiring slower draws to manage nicotine buildup in last inch.
The glossy Colorado Maduro wrapper conceals perfectly aligned filler leaves. Triple fermentation process (Nicaraguan/Dominican/Mexican leaves separately aged) creates seamless transitions. Box-aged minimum 24 months before release.
