Brickhouse Toro

Brickhouse Toro


Size: 6"x52
Wrapper: Havana Subido
Filler: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan





Pre-Light


the wrapper is medium brown in color with a sheen that adds a beautiful look to the stick.  I used a medium punch and toasted the end.

1st Third


The Brickhouse lights easy and has a great smooth, cool draw.  Right away, I got a rich, clean tobacco flavor with a hint of tea flavors.  It is very soothing to the palate.  The first third was very consistent throughout.


2nd Third


The flavor of the cigar intensified slightly.  The rich tobacco and tea flavors did not overpower.  This is a very nice part of the cigar.  Soothing, rich and cool.  There was a slight build of mild spice, but very slight.





Final Third


Once again, the cigar intensified, but did not overpower.  The tea flavors faded leaving a rich tobacco flavor.

Overall


I love this stick.  It is medium to full body with a great balance.  The oils from the wrapper give it a brighter and brighter sheen as you smoke it.  It has a great draw and is very well constructed.  It left a soothing tobacco/tea flavor on my palate after I was done.  At around $5 a stick, I highly recommend this cigar!

OMAR SAYS:  17/19
