La Gloria Cubana Esteli Toro Cigars
No matter where you are in the world, the La Gloria Cubana Esteli Toro cigar is an invitation to enjoy a tropical vacation among the warm breezes of Nicaragua. At least that's what it will feel like while enjoying one of these medium-to-full strength treats because unlike the majority of your other favorite LGCs, crafted in the Dominican Republic, this stogie is hand-rolled in its namesake city alongside a variety of Nicaraguan-made CAO, Punch, and Cohiba vitolas. Don't get thrown by the fact that both the binder and filler are from nearby Honduras. The true star of the show is the rugged, toothy, and surprisingly thick Ligero wrapper from Jalapa.
The aromas, which waft from an unlit La Gloria Cubana Esteli Toro, are deceptively simple, mostly fermented tobacco and crisp cedar, but a cold draw test will preview a more exciting experience. The golden-brown and solidly constructed 5 1/2" X 54 barrel of each hefty stick allows a steady airflow laden with cocoa, cracked pepper, and black tea, flavors, which come alive once a flame is applied. Creamy and smooth, the dense smoke that flows to the palate combines layers of savory tastes like leather, cashew, and espresso while a salted caramel sweetness lingers in the background. There's even a touch of lemon zest to be found in the retro hale, a refreshing counterpoint to the darker earth and exotic spices that develop during the latter stages of the rather slow burn.
It's always exciting when a cigar of this caliber is priced to compete with so-called 'budget' sticks of far lesser quality, but this might just be the bargain of the century, especially for those aficionados who enjoy the fuller side of the flavor spectrum. Discover or reinforce your love for Nicaraguan cigars by choosing a handful or two of La Gloria Cubana Esteli Toro, now, a decision that you'll appreciate for the rest of your smoking days.
