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

This box-pressed toro is a tightly-rolled maduro featuring a flawless Nicaraguan wrapper. As per Robert Spoden’s advice, I enjoyed it with a glass of red wine (a nice Rhone) and found it a perfect accompaniment to this cigar’s full-flavored spiciness. It had a real kick, but it was never unpleasant or harsh. With its perfect construction, I can definitely recommend the Full Sail.

Verdict = Buy.
