Default Nording (by RP) Toro

Quick summary, not a great smoke.

The cigar is attractive with a very smooth smooth oily wrapper. It is well constructed and cut easily with no splitting or unraveling. The cigar started off well. It has a nice nutty taste with a good bit of pepper. The first inch of the cigar was really good, not spectacular, but at $5 a stick above average. The problem started soon after this. The cigar started taking on a bitterness that would just not go away. I changed to water from tea, slowed the smoking down and could not improve the results. I left it with about 3.5 inches left (6.5 inch Toro).

I would not buy this again. However, based on the first inch I would smoke another if given one. I would rate this a medium body cigar and is medium to full in flavor.
