My Father Limited Edition Toro
A personally hand rolled beauty by Jose "Pepin" Garcia and Jaime Garcia Box 22 of 2000
First Impressions: A craftman of a cigar hand wrapped by Pepin himself. Binder and filler by son Jaime. A balanced and solid stick with a flawless reddish mahogany wrapper. A triple cap tops off this vitola, toro in size, 6.5x52.
Predraw: A malted sweetness with no sour notes or ammonia smell. A sign of expert fermintation and aging.
Lighting: Straight Cut with a Xikar Xi2 using my Xikar Axia to light effortlessly.
First Puffs: A balance of pepper and spice with a backnote of earth and malt through the retrohale. Notes of sweetness on the lips through the back of the tongue. The draw is loose and airy.
First third: Pepper settles down to a cinnamon spice on the follow through. Also notes of leather and cedar. The burn is razor sharp with a greyish white colored ash.
Second third: Opening up to a malted creamy flavor following through the retrohale. The finsh of nut and licorice from the tongue through the nose. Cedar is no longer noted. A beautiful mouth watering sweet creaminess. A solid medium in strength with no heaviness on the tongue. A very cool smoke. The Draw firms up perfectly with plenty of smoke to roll through the mouth through the nose.
Final third: Opening to a sweet cherry finsh with buttered toast note. Very balanced in flavor with no dominating flavors to detract. I can pick out each note of flavor with each puff. Notes of pepper and licorice returning along with a nutmeg finsh. A cafe con leche noted in the retrohale. Combined this cigar is a complex symphony of flavor without overwhelming flavors. This is not a onesided cigar. I attribute this complexity to the pelo de oro in the filler. Which is reminiscent of Cuban cigars of old. The burn is indicative of an expertly rolled cigar only a master roller can acheive.
Overall Final Impressions: Very impressive, this cigar reminds me of a Cuban Hoyo De Monterry Double Corona or a Montecristo #2 in some of Cuba's finest years of cigar production. This will remain a stick of acheivement, a litmus test expertly rolled by one of Cuba's finest rollers and blenders to ever become an exile. I can only hope to enjoy these on a limited bases as they are never to be had again.
