Brick House Toro

Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Brick House Toro opens with a medium-bodied profile, delivering a warm mix of sweet cedar, toasted bread, and roasted peanut over a base of light leather, gentle earth, and baking spice. The retrohale adds white pepper, nutmeg, and a touch of honey, lending both brightness and a subtle sweetness to the core flavors. By the second third, the cigar develops notes of caramelized sugar, soft cocoa, and cashew, while the pepper mellows into a mild, lingering undertone. A faint dried fruit nuance emerges, weaving cedar, cream, and spice into a rounded mid-palate. In the final third, the flavors deepen with espresso crema, toasted oak, clove, and a trace of molasses, finishing smooth, warm, and balanced with a gentle sweet-spice echo.

Construction and Draw
The Toro vitola is well-crafted with a Nicaraguan Havana Subido wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers, featuring tight seams, a neatly applied cap, and an even, firm pack. Cold draw reveals cedar, nut, and a hint of pepper. Upon lighting, the draw is ideal—slight resistance producing a steady stream of aromatic smoke. The burn line remains mostly even, requiring minimal correction, while the ash forms medium-gray stacks that hold well between taps. Combustion is cool and steady, allowing for consistent flavor delivery from start to finish.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
Pair with Buffalo Trace Bourbon or Glenmorangie Original 10 Year; both complement the cigar’s nutty, toasty sweetness while enhancing its cedar and spice elements.

Final Assessment
A dependable, value-rich Nicaraguan smoke that offers balanced flavor, solid construction, and everyday versatility.
