Quick Smoke: Esteban Carreras 10 Años Toro Natural

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.
