Quick Smoke: Frank Herrera Biography 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 release from cigar polymath Frank Herrera sports a wrapper from the increasingly popular tobacco fields of Brazil, paired with Dominican and Nicaraguan filler. I’m always wary of Brazilian tobacco because I frequently find it shares a quite unpleasant dirt taste common to its Mexican sibling. And, quite frankly, this Toro (6 x 54, $6.50) did exhibit a bit of that, but not too much. If you’re a fan of Brazilian Arapiraca or just want to try something a little different, give this three-vitola line a chance.

Verdict = Buy.
