This was the toro version I had today on the golf course and I was asked to take this cigar for a spin to see how it preformed for the b&m.

Very nice box-press with no viens to speak of in the conecticut broadleaf wrapper. A very well constructed cigar. Draw was perfect. The filler is nic and dominican and started out very floral, almost too floral for my tastes and about an inch in it changed, thankfully, to more of a slightly sweet, creamy, leathery/earthy taste. Pretty much stayed that way until the final third and the floral notes kicked back in, with a vengence but for some reason I found it more pleasant then when I first lit it up. Ash was very loose and fell often. All in all, a good mild-medium smoke. Frankly, it surprised me.
