Kristoff went refined with this limited box-pressed Toro, rolled in the Dominican Republic with a dark Brazilian Maduro wrapper over a Dominican binder and Dominican-Nicaraguan long fillers. Medium in strength, it opens with creamy sweetness, baking spice, cedar, and a little earthy depth, like cocoa-dusted toast with a pepper snap. For maduro fans who like polish over brute force, the 6 1/4 x 54 format keeps the smoke cool, balanced, and easygoing.
