Toro 652 Pressed
A terra-cotta hue'd cigar, well-constructed to the eye-balling and performance -- tho a seam doth widen widely in final-third to reveal binder. A fusty lavender note is rather unique. White pepper/nutmeg piquancy braced by buttery cedar up-on nutty suede in dirt under-belly. Straight-forward yet more complex than that may connote.

IN ADDITION:
The Flor de Las Antillas in Too, natch, was Cigar Aficionado's 2012 Cigar of the Year. To wit they done writ: "The standout of the four-size brand is the Toro, which has a gentle, rounded box press and a beautiful and evenly colored wrapper. The smokes are delicious from the first puff, with notes of nutmeg, white pepper and just enough strength without being overpowering. They are hard to put down. They are classics, 96-point smokes on our 100-point scale."
