Smoking Experience

The 4½" × 52 format offers a richer and slightly more concentrated expression of the blend compared with the longer Toro and Churchill sizes. The wider ring gauge allows the Nicaraguan filler tobaccos to play a larger role, while the Connecticut wrapper maintains the cigar's trademark smoothness and elegance. [joyacigars.com]

The smoke opens with creamy cedar and sweet hay notes, followed by toasted nuts and subtle coffee flavors. Gentle white pepper and woody nuances develop toward the finish without overwhelming the cigar's mild nature. The result is a balanced, approachable smoke with excellent construction and an easy draw.  [cigares.com]
