Bdawg says:  The Toro size of this cigar was Cigar Snob's #24 cigar of 2015.  And me likey!

The wrapper is medium brown, oily, and well constructed.  The draw is easy producing a white and gray ash.  The flavor is smooth, cashews, toast, cream, and sweet cedar.  The burn is slow and even.  Nice!

I enjoyed this cigar with an "Old Fashioned" Bulleit Bourbon infused with Bootleg Botanicals.
At Christmas this year my wife bought me a Bourban infusion kit from Bootleg Botanicals.  It consisted of some spices (Orange peel, organic sugar, coriander, cardamom, and anise seed) a bottle, a funnel and some filters.  After infusing the spices into the Bourbon it is supposed to have an "Old Fashioned" flavor.  And it did.  It is quite good.  3 Hearts
