The medium-brown, slightly oily wrapper is expertly applied over a Nicaraguan binder and carefully selected filler tobaccos. The Toro vitola is meticulously constructed, providing a firm yet even pack, smooth and effortless draw, and consistent burn throughout the smoking experience. The cold draw reveals subtle hints of cedar, cocoa, and mild pepper, while the ash forms compact, light-gray columns, reflecting Micallef’s attention to detail and quality.

This cigar pairs beautifully with a lightly peated Scotch such as Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban or a medium-bodied bourbon like Woodford Reserve, as the cocoa, espresso, and spice layers harmonize with the whisky’s warmth and nuanced flavors.
