Quick Smoke: EO 601 Serie “Red” Toro

7 Nov 2009

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

EO 601 Serie “Red” Toro

Even though this line from Erik Espinosa and Eddie Ortega is only a few years old, smoking a Toro (6 x 50) for the first time in awhile feels like catching up with an old friend. The Nicaraguan puro, dressed in an oily habano wrapper, displays a masterful balance of power and subtlety. Flavors include cocoa, pepper, and toasty tobacco. Minor burn issues detract only slightly from the outstanding taste of this Don Pepin Garcia creation.

Verdict = Buy.
