"A pleasant surprise ? a very good smoke"
A fine mellow rich smoke, with a very even burn; one of the 'Fruits Of Their Labor' Taster a good value and I look forward to smoking another.

"What happened?"
Maybe I just got a bad example, or maybe my taste buds were taking the day off ... but my experience with this one was not a good one. Started out fine, a very good looking stick, good burn, good draw, and a few puffs of good mild flavor, but then an extreme bitterness appeared, grew, and never left. Wrapper also came apart and started peeling away. Tossed it about half way through. After reading the other reviews, I would probably try it again, just to see if this was a 'freak' .... sure hope so. But this one experience left a bitter taste in my mouth, literally.

"Throw it back"
Searching for a good bundle is like saltwater fishing. You catch alot of junk and only a few keepers. The draw was too tight and the first taste on my lips was that of kerosene. I hope you have a better experience.

"Not Bad"
Just OK - Burn was perfect, draw was average. Taste was nothing exciting. Had a couple good drags - but last inch and half was hot and not very enjoyable. I wouldn't buy again. There are better choices for the price. I've had better Value Line Cigars. Baccarrat Rothschild, Troya Rothschild, Romeo Julietta Bully are better Cigars and around the same price. Go Figure.

"The Toro was a very nice little ciga"
I liked this cigar. Draw was smooth. Very even nice white ash. Flavor and aroma nice a mild. I was nicely surprised with this one. I'd buy again. Try the sampler. I think you'd enjoy.

"Great value in a fabulous smoke."
I was persuaded to try this cigar during a visit to the FSS retail shop. I'm so glad I consented. I routinely try different cigars, many costing much more than the Dominique Toro and have been continually lured back to this fine smoke. I have found it is by far the best stick for the money. I hope FSS stocks it forever. Thanks for the suggestion.

"SPICEY LITTLE GUY"
The 1st one of a sampler, the Toro comes off with a loose gray ash, easy draw, medium - full strength but with a lot of spices. Personally I dont like pepper in my smokes.Hope the others are better.

"Even Burning, Good Draw, Well Constructed, Medium"
Definitely much higher quality than one expects from a "bundle" cigar. Exhibits Fuente quality. Consistency from cigar to cigar, even burning, good draw, and a pleasant flavor, neither too mild or strong.

"EVERYONE SHOULD TRY THEM"
I bought one, smoked it, and immediately ordered more. It is no wonder: it is FUENTE-Made. Very good value for your money. Good any time of day, even on an empty stomach. The draw is good, burns even, good aroma. Definitely a premium smoke. Worth more than what I paid for them.
