Toro Extra

The Trinidad Espiritu Series No. 2 Toro is the second release in a line that debuted three years ago commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Trinidad brand.

Spoiler alert: the new size doesn’t get the hexagonal press that the first release did.

The Cavalry Edition As de Oro is one of three new cigars from Casa 1910 that are made in Nicaragua. This release is named after a horse owned by a famous Mexican revolutionary.

The fifth addition to Cavalier Genève’s Limited Edition Series is a 6 x 54 toro gordo made up of an undisclosed blend.

The Bewitched started life as the Owl Shop Tobacconists’ 75th Anniversary cigar. This June, it was released as part of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust’s Muestra de Saka Series.

Putting away a premium bundle cigar for 18 months of rest provides some interesting results.

Brooks Whittington gave the original Cohiba Serie M Toro high marks, now it’s time to see if the Toro Extra, err, “Corona Gorda” size of the Miami-made Cohiba matches up.

Last year, Villiger once again updated its La Libertad with an entirely new blend from a new factory.

Judging a cigar’s strength simply by how dark the wrapper is oftentimes not an accurate projection, but in the case of the very dark H. Upmann Nicaragua AJ Fernandez Heritage, you can judge the book by its cover.

Cigars that are the result of a collaboration can lead to interesting results. For this cigar, Robert Caldwell of Lost&Found partnered with Justin Andrews of STG, the parent company of General Cigar Co. The result: two cigars that are blended around the same components.

The Plasencia Year of the Tiger is the second cigar the company has released named after the symbols of the Chinese zodiac calendar but the first that’s being sold in the U.S.
