J.L. Salazar Y Hermanos Toro

[Jeffro600]

Got one of these from a member here and tryed it out this evening...measured out to be 6.0X52. At first glance, i thought it was a Punch...has the same box pressed construction and the label looks very similar. Construction was good...a couple lighter veins here and there but nothing too obtrusive. Wrapper was a lighter maduro shade and was consistant in color with a nice oily sheen. The cap was a little sloppy, but it cut cleanly and didnt unwravel the wrapper at all. Prelight draw was a little heavy and had a very mild taste of coffee and chocolate with a little spice. Upon lighting, the spiciness picked up a lot but mellowed out quickly. The taste reminded me of a PAM...almost so much that if i was blind folded, i probably wouldnt have been able to tell the difference. Very smooth and full bodied with a nutty/chocolatly finish. As i got to the halfway point the flavors just kept getting stronger and better...and the draw developed to be what i would consider, perfect. I dont nub cigars often, but this one stayed nice and cool down to about 1/2 an inch. Overall, a very pleasing smoke and anyone who appreciates the PAM's should try one...i think youll be impressed. :thumbs:

One of our fine sponsors, MD Cigars, carries these for $76 a box. They also have singles and 5 packs if you just want to try some.
