Crowned Heads Le Patissier No. 54 Toro

Worth knowing

The idea of this blend being reminiscent of the patisserie of classic French high cuisine may be considered a bit over-the-top - but as a rich, lasting "dessert cigar", this 54 is excellent with about 60 - 75 minutes of smoking time!

Flavours

This is the "deluxe" version, so to speak, of the "Le Careme" range and, like that, is advertised as being emphatically "chocolatey" in flavour. Word, word! We can confidently endorse this - although the focus here is on the earthy, malty, tartly sweet and profound taste of first-class cocoa, not on a penetrating sweetness! The other facets also fit perfectly into this world of aromas - a fine hint of nutmeg here, a hint of liquorice there, along with espresso flavours throughout, and finally concise smoky and earthy aromas that characterise the finish of this good medium-bodied luxury cigar.
