The Oscar Valladares McFly Toro stands out with its 6"x52 Toro vitola and medium-full bodied profile. Part of the Super Fly series inspired by 80s nostalgia, this Honduran-made cigar features a dark Mexican coffee bean wrapper over multi-country fillers. Priced at $223.20 for 20 sticks, it balances retro packaging with modern blending techniques - think espresso kick meets earthy sweetness rolled in a slightly oily sheen.
Cold draw reveals raisin sweetness before ignition. Initial puffs deliver bold black pepper through nasal exhale with cedar undertones. Smoke output registers medium density, leaving tongue-tingling spice that's more invigorating than harsh.
Pepper subsides to roasted coffee beans and walnut earthiness. Burn line stays razor-sharp without touch-ups. Retrohale introduces baking spices - think cinnamon dusted on hot chocolate - as creaminess balances the developing strength.
Molasses sweetness emerges at the 45-minute mark alongside mineral notes. Requires occasional purges to combat tar buildup near nub. Nicotine strength creeps up to full-bodied territory, satisfying veterans without overwhelming newer smokers.
The triple-cap head cuts cleanly revealing snug draw resistance. Honduran craftsmanship shows in seamless wrapper application - no soft spots detected during squeeze test. Ash holds firm in one-inch segments. Box date codes suggest optimal smoking window between 12-18 months post-purchase.
Matches well with Mexican dark chocolate (70%+ cacao) or Guatemala Antigua coffee. Avoid sugary drinks that clash with inherent sweetness. For spirits, try añejo tequila's oak notes or Islay Scotch's peat smoke contrast.
