The Oscar Maduro Toro cigar is a delightful addition to any enthusiast’s humidor. These flavorful treats have been masterfully crafted by Oscar Valladares to appeal to everyone who enjoys excellent Maduros. Most well-known as the man behind the wondrous Leaf by Oscar line of stogies, Valladares is skilled at really bringing out the individual qualities of different types of tobaccos and marrying them into a coherent profile. Here, he’s taken aged Honduran and Nicaraguan filler plus a Honduran binder and has secured them beneath a toothy and thick Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper to become a balanced, medium-strength instant classic.
In what has become Valladares’ signature move, there is a removable outer tobacco-leaf wrapper over each The Oscar Maduro Toro. However, unlike the fully covered Leaf by Oscar, this 6” X 52 cigar bears an emerald candela only over the bottom half of the barrel, which allows the anticipating aficionado a glimpse of the ruggedly beautiful vitola beneath the black and blue band that is also visible. Once released from its soft shell, the San Andres Maduro wafts an earthy, barnyard-like cold aroma while the interior teases cedar and raisin flavors during a draw test. The first third of a lit The Oscar Maduro creates thick clouds of smoke full of the tastes of café con leche and chocolate-covered peanut. The second third adds in some spices, including white pepper and cinnamon, plus oak and sweet cream. The final stages of the easy-burning cigar wrap up the experience with espresso, leather, and cherry.
