Quick Smoke: Esteban Carreras 10 Años Toro Natural
18 Jul 2009
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.
This Nicaraguan puro stands out just after you light it up. The volume of smoke that pours from this nice looking, oily stick is absolutely astounding. One of a handful of offerings from Esteban Carreras, it is a pleasant and engaging cigar that produces tastes of coffee, cocoa, and even a bit of chocolate in a medium- to full-bodied format. The Toro (6 x 50) sells for about $8.
Verdict = Buy.
Almost everything from Esteban Carreras is great. You should also check out the 1961 and new Habanos!
After this one, I plan to try the others as well. Only wish they'd get their Web site updated to provide some worthwhile information.
