Quick Smoke: Toraño Master Robusto

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.”

In partnership with Felipe Sosa, Charlie Toraño has produced a real winner with his new Master blend. This four-vitola line includes a silky Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. The Robusto (5 x 52), a firmly packed cigar that retails for around $5, sports excellent construction and a smooth, medium-bodied profile of cedar, caramel, and milk chocolate. It’s a welcome addition to the Toraño portfolio.

Verdict = Buy.
