Freud AlterEgo Toro

The Freud AlterEgo Toro opens with a medium-to-full-bodied profile, delivering a harmonious blend of dark cocoa, espresso, and toasted cedar accented by a faint molasses sweetness that immediately engages the palate. The retrohale introduces layers of black pepper, baking spice, and a touch of dried cherry, enhancing the complexity while maintaining a refined balance between richness and vibrancy. As the second third progresses, the flavor deepens with roasted almond, leather, and bittersweet chocolate, supported by a creamy undertone that smooths the edges of the spice while preserving the cigar’s robust character. The final third crescendos with concentrated coffee bean, charred oak, and dark cacao, leaving a long, warm finish marked by lingering earthy sweetness and subtle spice.

The burn line remains razor-sharp from start to finish, and the ash holds firm in dense, silver-gray stacks, a testament to precise craftsmanship.

The ideal whisky pairing for the Freud AlterEgo Toro is GlenDronach 18 Allardice, whose sherried richness of fig, cocoa, and spiced oak mirrors and elevates the cigar’s chocolate and coffee-forward profile.
