Team Cigar Review: Chesterton and Co. Pints with Aquinas Toro

The Chesterton and Co. Pints with Aquinas Toro started off with some promise, offering a nice mix of nuts, wood, and a gradually building spice profile that showed flashes of richness as sweet tobacco and dark roast coffee came into play. Unfortunately, after that initial momentum, the cigar settled into a more linear experience. The second and final thirds were dominated by earth and coffee with a drier profile overall, never quite recapturing the complexity of the opening.

Team Cigar Review: Chesterton and Co. Toro

The Chesterton and Co. Toro delivered its best performance in the first third, where dry wood, spices, toasted nuttiness and sweet tobacco offered nice interplay. The second and final thirds leaned heavier on tannic wood and earthier components, with bitterness creeping in before purging helped correct it. Overall, this was an average smoking experience that I'd be unlikely to seek out in the future.
