Smoking Experience

First Third

The cold draw offers raisin sweetness. Initial puffs explode with dark chocolate and espresso bean intensity. Smoke production stays moderate, with tight ash holding 1.5" before dropping. Noticeable bourbon vanilla undertones emerge from the barrel-aging process.

Middle Third

Flavors transition to roasted cashews and black pepper spice. Retrohale brings out baking spices - cinnamon and nutmeg most prominent. Burn line stays razor-sharp despite the 56 ring gauge. Draw remains perfect without any tunneling.

Final Third

Nicotine strength builds steadily. Earthy undertones of damp soil mix with persistent cocoa notes. Last inch develops charred oak bitterness - better to put it down before the nub. Leaves cedar finish lasting 15+ minutes.

Construction Notes

The box-pressed toro features minimal veins and seamless wrapper application. Triple cap holds firm during cutting. Pack density scores 9/10 with perfect draw resistance - no plugs despite hefty ring gauge. Perdomo's signature oily sheen glistens under light.
