Construction

Having previously reviewed Escobar cigars Connecticut robusto I was eager to review their maduro to see if the quality was up to the same level and it was. Escobar cigars maduro toro was firm and evenly rolled with no veins, soft or hard parts. The cigar had a thicker oily feel to it that wrapped around it like a blanket.

Band impression

I don’t know why the feeling was so different from Escobar’s Connecticut, even though it was the same logo but in a different color I got the feeling of a summer grill. Whether it was the combination of the dark maduro wrapper and the fact that it was a toro I will leave unsaid. But the feeling I got from Escobar’s Maduro toro was a summer grill and sitting on the balcony to enjoy the sunset in the warmth.

1/3 Lets light up the Escobar Maduro Toro

After the cigar was roasted, I was offered a rich and creamy texture followed by dominant flavors of dark woodiness, spiciness reminiscent of black pepper, ground coffee beans, leather and a nuttiness reminiscent of cashew nuts. In the background there were nuances of raisins, dried fruits and herbs reminiscent of tea. The flavors in the background balanced out the slightly darker dominant flavors in an incredibly good way. The retrohalation of Escobar’s maduro toro tickled my nose and I felt woody and peppery nuances.

2/3 The cigar showed a lighter complexity.

As I stepped into the second third of Escobar’s maduro, the texture changed a bit, it wasn’t as rich as before but still quite creamy. The dried herbs that were previously in the background emerged and were among the dominant flavors, however, they were general herbs and not in the nuance of tea, there were also nuances of hay, leather, general pepperiness with a little milder than before, woodiness, espresso, roasted nuts and a creamy chocolate flavor. In the background I could feel lighter flavors of dried fruits, earthiness and a saltiness reminiscent of sea salt.. The retrohalation became a little smoother but still tickled my nose slightly, the nuances I felt were general woodiness.
