SO , after my dissapointment with the Arganese figurado, i needed some comfort. I picked up my long time lover...Don Kiki Brown label toro...Even at my local B&M this stick can be had for $3.99..."all Cheap Bastages Rejoice at this point"...online they can be had for $1.50 per stick in this vitola. I also enjoyed a Stone IPA with this brown beauty.

The stick is a heavy feeling toro at 6 x 52. it is all Habano sungrown longfiller that is aged 3 years before rolling, and then another 3 years of aging post rolling.

I pick up my little love, and take the familiar whiff...i smell the wrapper and the foot. I smell floral chocolate, no lie. i keep just smelling it for about 10 minutes and am consistantly rewarded with this lovely bouquet...

i don't snip the end yet but just roll it in my mouth tasting the wrapper...it is chocolatey and licorce like...yummy.

i snip the end and the draw is easy, not loose, just easy.

First third- from the start this medium to full stick gives me pure estelli magic. Spice and sweet and yes some cocoa, i love the tobacco from estelli, the burn is great and aroma the wife comments on saying, "wow that one really smells great".

Second third- floral kicks in with the sweet and spice always in the background, giving this layered flavor that i cannot get enough of.

final third-burn still great, starting to get more cocoa and licorice and still some spice, yummy.

rated this smoke an 8.75/10 i don't give it a 9 because i'm sure that i'm biased don't want to overly rate something. GREAT SMOKE!!!!
