Fire toro

Don Fernando · 04-18-2009, 01:00 PM

This cigar came in a bomb from Shellie. The pretty 6 x 48 cigar, made by Rocky Patel, has a pretty wrapper with some light veins and feels pretty tight. It came packed in cellophane. The tobacco used for this cigar is triple fermented corojo and comes from Nicaragua and Honduras. The predraw is fine and tastes like straw.

I get a sweet coffee like flavor with a chocolate aftertaste. After half an inch the coffee is replaced with wood. At the 2 inch mark the flavors swap again, the wood is gone, the coffee is back. Halfway the chocolate disappears too and is replaced by hay. The chocolate aftertaste returns when I reach the 2/3rd point and I can also taste a light pepper flavor.

The flavors are nice but mild to medium, just like the overall power of the cigar. The burn is perfect, the draw and the smoke are fine.

Would I buy this cigar again? Yes, this is a nice cigar to start the day with.

Glad to hear you liked them. I have a few of a bundle of fifteen that I scored on C-bid a while ago and liked them a lot.

I bought a 15er of the Fire on C-bid as well. ROTT, I thought they were unsmokable. I have since put about 3 months only on them and they are really quite a nice cigar. I have one waiting for my ride home tonight! Nice review for what is turning out to be a nice value smoke! I think I got them for under $1 a piece.
