Flor de las Antillas Sungrown Toro

Worth knowing

O lala, the slightly frivolous motif on the Anilla already sets the mood for a sensual smoke - and whether thought so or not, the Nicaraguan puro lives up to this claim brilliantly for about 75 - 95 minutes without being expensive.

Flavours

With basically the same tobacco blend, the long format offers a few more small facets than the Robusto. The fruity taste somewhat reminiscent of dried apricots, the pithy aroma of freshly brewed coffee, delicious bread-crust roast aromas, a light dark chocolate note. The Toro, however, is a tad creamier, with more nutty-creamy melting, and from third to third brings out ever more fine accompanying aromas, from "woody" ethereality to leathery astringency to peaty depth. Very elegant, but at the same time quite hearty at a higher strength.
