Kinship Cigars Toro in Review
WRAPPER: Pennsylvania Broadleaf
BINDER: Dominican
FILLER: Dominican
FORMAT: Robusto
ORIGIN: Dominican Republic
INTENSITY: Mild-medium
NOTES:
Sweet citrus | Suede | White pepper
Sugary citrus rides high in a suede saddle, "Howdy, pardner." Table sugar. Lemon, a touch of unripe orange. Tick of a metallic lilt (badge?). Underneath are bright grains & sunlit dirt trails, simply. Balanced moderately. Complex, humbly. Quite a light palate, a tick coarse on the back-end. Prickly spurs of white peppercorn. Some macadamia nuttiness flows into the 2/3 only. Retrohale carries all that sharpness, doesn't add to the palate.
Burns on an even line w/ slight always self-correcting wavinesses. Ash grows impressively dense & pale. A proverbial sheath. A ::: very ::: light aroma of weakly-kicky sweetness forms off moderate smoke out-put. Seams loosen just a hair against char, pack softens some there, too. Draws smoothly, evenly. In the 3/3, a saltiness hits tinniness and kinda directs the outro. I dunno about this here new sheriff, though he seems to mean well.
