Toro Bravo Robusto

This one is for members who prefer a milder cigar with a rich flavor. It’s also for those who appreciate a great value—a stogie one can enjoy everyday without breaking the bank. The Toro Bravo consists of Dominican & Honduran long-fillers, an Ecuadorian Broadleaf binder and a Connecticut Ecuadorian wrapper. Mild to medium-bodied, the cigar burns well and consistently throughout, with a short finish on the palate and a fairly tight grayish-white ash. This stick will work nicely as a midday smoke with afternoon coffee. Be sure to check out our reorder prices for the Toro Bravo. With sin taxes higher than ever it's great when we can turn our members onto an affordable premium handmade.

The Nicaraguan cigar industry originated when Cuban cigar makers escaped the revolution and re-established their livelihood in Nicaragua with Cuban-seed tobacco. Blessed with dark, rich soil, their new home was ideal for tobacco cultivation and Nicaragua quickly became known for cigars that rivaled Cuban quality. Unfortunately, revolution and war came to Nicaragua in the 1980s and devastated the industry, but it’s rebounded dramatically and is once again producing tobacco considered by many to be the finest in the world. The Esteli Valley is in many ways the heart of Nicaraguan production and is known for its very powerful and spicy tobacco. The Jalapa Valley produces arguably the finest tobacco in the country: somewhat sweeter and less intense than Esteli, but extremely complex. The tobacco of the Condega Valley is often described as a blend of the other two regions.
