Leonel Signature Maduro Toro

Worth knowing

Loosely based on the "Swan Lake" principle, the light Connecticut variant of Leonel's limited 2021 Signature naturally has a darker, stronger sister, also in the teasing additional tobacco leaf wrapper. Smoking time approx. 75 - 85 minutes.

Aroma

This Leonel is not really strong either, but as expected from a Maduro, its aroma is noticeably more powerful and concentrated than that of its sister. Clear notes of noble coffee and dark chocolate, a fine roasted flavour and a light, pleasantly animating pepper spiciness are not surprising, but highly welcome. It is all the more pleasing that alongside such Maduro-typical facets, there is also a colourful array of iridescent overtones to be tasted, which lends the blend complexity and grace. Fruity sweetness of dark berries and sultanas, for example, but also a hint of fresh-herbal etherealness. Exciting stuff!
