This Cubariqueño Protocol Official Misconduct Toro was pretty complex as there were various layers of flavors and quite a few flavor transitions. If you're looking for a cigar that will keep your attention the entire time, this is it. I would have no problem revisiting this cigar and recommending it to others.
The blend consists of an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers from Esteli / Jalapa. Initial release will be at Cubariqueno’s 3 Year Anniversary event on May 12th at the Holiday Inn located in Clinton, New Jersey through Berkeley Humidor and pre-sales will also be available through BerkeleyHumidor.com initially.
Protocol K9 by Cigar Dojo and Cubariqueño introduces a full-bodied pepper bomb explosion onto the palate. As with all other Protocol cigars, this beast is crafted at the renowned La Zona factory in Estelí. The blend is Nicaraguan through and through, topped with a dark and oily Nicaraguan Habano Rosado wrapper.
The Protocol Azul, Protocol Rojo, and Protocol Oro have all been methodically crafted to be paired with each prospective cigar. Cubariqueño Cigar Company teamed up with Layne Coffee Co., which is a ”small batch” specialty coffee roaster, because of their focus on quality and consistency.

Overall, I think the Robusto version of the Probable Cause was a consistently good tasting cigar. I enjoyed especially the cocoa and earthy tones.
A beefed up version producing greater intensities. The mouth watering body with oily cinnamon combined with deep spice and earth really hit its stride. I enjoyed the cigar quite a bit and am looking forward to smoking more of these down the road.
This is a cigar that is full of flavor without knocking you down with strength. In other words, this is well worth one's smoking time and money.
Cubariqueño Cigar Company is proud to announce that it is releasing its second blend, Protocol Probable Cause, at the 2016 International Premium Cigar and Pipe Retailer trade show in Las Vegas.
