Thanks to the carefully selected aged tobacco leaves, the first puff is exceptionally pure and smooth. Mid-section: The flavor gradually evolves into a medium intensity, with the mineral sweetness from the volcanic soil intertwining with the aromas of roasted almonds and creamy coffee. The Toro size ensures just the right amount of smoke retention in the mouth, with distinct layers. Finish: As we move toward the end, a hint of leather and warm spice emerges in the flavor profile, resulting in an exceptionally clean finish with a lingering, oily, sweet woody aftertaste that leaves a lasting impression.
