This 6x54 Grand Toro from PDR Cigars packs Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers under a slick Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper. At $13.66 per stick (box of 24), it's built for 90+ minute sessions with its medium-full body and layered flavor transitions. The gold/blue bands make it a looker in your humidor.
Black pepper sparks on the tongue before settling into roasted coffee beans and baker's cocoa. The draw offers perfect resistance - smoke output's enough for visible rings but won't fog a room.
Cedar wood emerges through the chocolate base, with walnut skins adding dryness. Retrohale shows caramelized sugar edges. Ash holds firm in 1.5" segments.
Dark fruit compote notes surface alongside mineral touches. Smoke turns creamier but gains nicotine punch - pair with sweet coffee if new to medium-full blends.
Abe Flores uses 5-year-aged tobaccos from Nicaragua's volcanic Jalapa farms and Mexico's San Andrés Valley. The Dominican Olor binder acts as flavor mediator - classic PDR balance between New World boldness and Old World nuance.
