Quick review and a heads up on the Murcielago line of smokes. Several of the big stores have them at really decent prices right now, and I bit on a box of Toro's....for about $65.00 I'd tried one when these first came out, and recalled they were a solid smoke. Got my box of Toro's (6 1/8 X 50) today and my memory was right. They are great cigars, pretty fantastic at this price. Blended by Espinosa and Ortega. What you get is a Mexican San Andreas Maduro wrapper, Mexcian binder, and Nicaraguan filler. Rolled at the "My Father" tabacalara in Nicaragua....which means you know you're getting a well made smoke.
Not as much spice on the front of the tongue as the other Pepin smokes...but a solid, very well made, great cigar. The flavor profile reminds me very much of the Ortega Serie D smokes. Dense clouds of nicely fragrant smoke, burn and draw was spot on. Nutty, maybe a little leather in there...very smooth. I like them quite a bit better than the Tatuaje "Mexican Experiment" bundles that came out recently. Lots smoother, far less bite. Really pleasing, got to admit I was impressed. MSRP on these was around $9.00 when they first came out. I may score another box while the price is right...they are really darn good cigars. For about $3.25 a stick, I think these are fantastic "burners" or daily smokes, easy to recommend.
