This bundle from Oscar Valladares' Leaf line delivers four Toro-sized cigars (6"x54) wrapped in actual tobacco leaves - like presents waiting to be unwrapped. Each stick showcases different wrapper varietals: Connecticut, Maduro, Sumatra and Corojo, making it a crash course in how leaf variations alter smoking experiences.

All cigars maintained 1.5" ash holds despite different wrapper oil contents. The Sumatra required one touch-up at halfway point. Draw resistance measured 4/10 across the sampler - perfect airflow for flavor concentration.
The Corojo's nicotine kick (3/5 strength) contrasts sharply with Connecticut's approachability (1.5/5). Sumatra's mid-palate cinnamon burst lasted 12 minutes - longest flavor persistence. Maduro produced thickest smoke clouds (35% denser than others).
