This 5×52 stick offers a dark chocolate wrapper with minimal veins, tight seams, a rich oily feel with a slightly spongy give and dense pack. It has a closed foot with the outter wrapper leaf folder over the end, plus a pigtail on the cap. The aroma is very rich and oily giving a chocolate and tobacco scent. First light reveals an effortless draw, mild-medium flavors of an oily but dry tobacco and a slight pepper and spice kick primarily on the finish. One unique thing is that it outs off a huge amount of smoke just sitting – it’s a fairly fast burner to begin with but is constantly giving off a nice aromatic smoke from the foot. The first third shows the same flavors as the start but in a smoother mouthfeel with a touch of leather here and there. 20 min in near the 1/2 way point the flavors shift to a softer almost buttery caramel, still on the mild side – but the strength kicks up to medium-full giving me a slight head rush! Ending at the 1 hour mark, the second 1/2 really slowed down in burn speed, allowing me to enjoy the flavors more, which is a good thing. Those flavors didn’t change from the 1/2 way point, continuing the smooth experience.

Was this the toro or the robusto? Picture, and dimensions described sound like robusto.

Regardless, even despite the mixed reviews I've read about these, I still want to try them. I'm really looking forward to info about the release of the Capa Natural that you've photographed (white band?) recently. They look phenomenal.

Oh crap on a stick! It's the robusto. The box right on top of them is Toro and I had it in my head! Thanks for catching that. Luckily it should only effect the smoke time.
