La Herencia Cubana Toro

To put it simply, La Herencia Cubana is a thing of beauty, and it all begins with the wrapper. A leathery Sumatra leaf grown in the misty valleys of Ecuador that’s dark, toothy, and oily. This leaf is scrumptious, and can be credited for a good portion of the rich flavors and aroma found throughout the burn. Beneath this leaf is an expertly balanced mixture of Nicaraguan long-fillers from Esteli, Condega, and Jalapa. The result is a bold, medium to full-bodied and aromatic bouquet. It opens with a peppery explosion that coats the palate, only to be tamed by a long and luxurious series of creamy tobacco flavors with notable hints of oak and pepper. It’s good...real good.
