While there wasn't much in the way of transitions, the flavor profile that the cigar offered was good, so it stayed interesting. The cedar, cinnamon and earthiness are all primary flavors I enjoy and the accompanying flavors were good as well.
This is a really good, budget friendly cigar. While price doesn't factor in to our scoring, it is worth noting. This would be approachable to any level smoker and some may find it as an ideal daily smoke.
I'd highly recommend seeking this out to give it a try. An experienced smoker will appreciate this more due to the strength and nuances. This is a cigar worthy of multiple revisits.
Davidoff has yet another winner under their belt. In a way, this is what I expect out of Davidoff with their newly badged and blended cigar. This is a must try for especially experienced smokers given its increased strength and nuances.
The flavors that the cigar presented were pretty good. It took an inch or so before things balanced out, but once they did, the profile was doing well.
This cigar did not have many transitions or complexities but had all the components of a tasty cigar; sweetness, spice, wood, body and good construction.
If you prefer a more consistent smoking experience, the Toro is your cigar. If you prefer bolder and deeper flavors (as well as strength), the Robusto is your cigar.
The flavors were a bit fragmented for the first half of the first third and then melded well. The second third was very full on flavor and was the best representation of the blend. The final third then had some big swings but was still enjoyable.
