After the PC yesterday I could not wait to try the toro
These cigars are beautiful, like all the pepins I've come acoss they're near flawless, being cello wrapped they have less of the shipping and handling flaws of other pepins.
Trying to clear my pallette of the PC I clip and pre light draw the toro, similar flavor and smell as the PC, dark chocolate, espresso, leather, earth, with a light-medium draw.
Upon lighting it's definetly pepin, spice and flavor similar to a blue label almost black label in intensity. After the first inch it changed to an extremely velvety creamy and leathery with the hints of chocolate, espresso and earth.
The second 3rd relaxed from the spice and carried along nicely with an amazingly creamy mouth feel, with the same tasting hints from above. A very relaxing 3rd.
The third 3rd began to take on some power a buzz and some spice with floral hints all masked behind the creamy leather texture.
I must say that these are a lovely addition to pepin and 5 vegas lines. I'm having trouble finding a negative to them other than I wish I had more, and since they're 5 vegas, that shouldn't be a problem to get them somewhat cheap.
And I know the ashtray is filthy, but thats what happens when you protest cleaning the thing, but for some reason my girlfriends dad just loves smoking a JR alt. for days and ashing it like a cigarette, plus the everning winds makes a terrible mess.
