Quick Smoke: Trinidad Paradox Toro

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.”

This new Toro (6 x 54) has a soft box-press and will be hitting shelves later this month. It features a pale brown criollo ’98 wrapper from the San Andeas region in Mexico that surrounds a Dominican binder and Nicaraguan filler. The cigar produces pleasant mild to medium cafe au lait flavors with excellent balance and some spice that builds. Construction is excellent. A fine, well-made cigar, though it hardly wowed me.

Verdict = Hold.
