Don Rafael Maduro #77 Toro cigars are the darker, richer counterparts to the original Connecticut blend. Made in the same Dominican Boutique as the original Don Rafael, Don Rafael Maduro is crafted by Jose Dominguez to have the same overall flavor characteristics as its Connecticut-wrapped counterpart, but with a little more oomph. Boasting the same Dominican binder and long fillers as the natural version, Don Rafael Mauro is finished by a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, ensuring a more luxurious, flavorful experience.
Packaged in boxes of 20 and sporting simple white bands, Don Rafael Maduro is an amazing value in the world of maduro cigars. The construction is surprisingly suitable to impress even the most experienced smokers, offering a smooth draw and crisp burn. The same grassy and earthy core profile as the natural version makes a return appearance with Don Rafael Maduro, but this time is complimented by darker, more rounded flavors of cocoa and cinnamon. Creamy black cherry and a notable cedar nuance complete the smooth flavor profile, along with a smooth, sweet finish. A solid medium-bodied smoke, Don Rafael Maduro is quite a steal at such a low price point. At 6” x 54, the #77 Toro is a great choice for a long, cool smoking experience.
Beginners should delight in Don Rafael Maduro, while more experienced smokers will appreciate the value to quality ratio in such a great medium-bodied cigar. Don Rafael Maduro pairs well with coffee to start the day or a glass of red wine after dinner, and is comparable to other great maduro value cigars such as Flor de Oliva Maduro and Rocky Patel Edge Maduro. A rich, smooth compliment to the original blend, Don Rafael Maduro #77 Toro is a must-try for anyone looking for an amazing bargain.
