A very delicate wrapper leaf with light nut brown coloring on this soft box press Toro. The pack and roll were both well done with a few noticeable veins and tight but visible seams. Immediately the draw was of good resistance, though perhaps a little hesitant at times. The smoke texture was particularly gentle and mild, with very soft and delicate flavor nuances. The burn was slightly irregular at times, but very impressive otherwise. The flavor boldness does increase a little as the cigar progresses, bringing out an excellent balance of nutty, buttery, and baking spice notes that meshed in a lovely chorus. I kept thinking of home made egg nog while I was smoking this one, and I can’t help but think that this stick would pair beautifully with it. Hot buttered rum, spiced rum, or a light roast coffee with cream would be great choices for pairing as well. A very good choice for the the morning, and with all these baking spices and spirits notes, I want this as my Christmas morning smoke!
