Karatoba

Some cigars get better when they slow down. Karatoba Toro is one of them. Rolled at NACSA in Nicaragua, the Karatoba Toro 6.5x50 uses a dark Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that’s slightly coarse and full of aroma before the flame ever hits it. Beneath it is a Nicaraguan binder holding a mix of long-fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The draw starts with roasted spice and slow-cooked red sauce, followed by a savory texture that lands somewhere between peppers and pan-seared stewed meat. The midpoint gives it a maple-like edge with some earthiness to balance the complexity. If you’re looking for something that carries complexity with mass appeal, or any regulars looking for a medium-to-full-bodied experience, the Karatoba Toro is the perfect addition to your store. Available in a box of 21, order yours at Santa Clara Cigars.
