Leonel Limited Edition 2022 Barber Pole Toro

Worth knowing

Also this year, the boom brand Leonel spoils us again with a refined Limitada, whose 2 wrappers are wound in the elaborate "Candela" process so that their appearance is reminiscent of the burning rod ("Barber Pole") of a barber. Here, however, much finer aromas are created for about 75 - 85 minutes than in the curl burning!

Aromas

The fact that one of the wrapper leaves comes from Connecticut is not a real indicator of the flavor picture here. The blend is more attuned to flavors that are subtle in the best sense - from a filigree wood bouquet to freshly roasted coffee beans and crispy brown bread crust to the pleasant spiciness of a small dose of black pepper and - especially in the final third - soft earthy-malty facets. Thus, the creamy smoke offers a nice palette of perfectly harmonizing nuances that gain body and depth as the smoke progresses. Superbly constructed and of medium strength.
