Quick Smoke: Añoranzas 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 Nicaraguan puro is made for Miami Cigar & Co. by My Father Cigars. With a very dark, oily Oscuro Habano wrapper and a slight box-press, it’s a handsome smoke. The Añoranza continues to be one of the most full-bodied cigars in my regular smoking rotation. It features a powerful combination of dark earth, charred oak, unsweetened cocoa, and a bit of spice. There’s not a lot of nuance here, but plenty of intense flavor, which is why I enjoy it.

Verdict = Buy.
