Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

I recently dropped by the Washington, DC JR Cigar store for a smoke. On the recommendation of a friendly sales associate, I picked up this thick toro (six inch by 54 ring gauge) featuring a lovely, deep brown, oily wrapper. The smoke was rich, earthy, and packed with flavor – perfect after a good meal.

Verdict = Buy.
