I've been dabbling in cigars for a little while but this will be my first official review. Purchased this from a new cigar shop in Burlington called Village Cigar Company. Great little store with excellent service. Went in the day after a RP event that they held, and they were offering a buy four get one free promotion. This was part of the four, the freebie was a stick otherwise unavailable in Canada, the RP Sun Grown Toro. On to the good stuff! Wrapper was a clean tan shade, absolutely perfect with no blemishes, the stick itself firm. A crisp white double band featuring the make and model made this stick very attractive. Straight cut, the cold draw was very free feeling for how packed this cigar felt, it gave up a nice bit of tea, herb and lemongrass. Toasted and lit, it threw lots of creamy white smoke and a little pepper. After the initial heat of lighting died down, the spice faded out and gave way to clean wood and cream flavours. It burned very even with a sturdy white ash. The spice returned in the second third and I decided to purge the stick, the spice resided again and the mild woodiness returned with a bit of coffee. Profile of the last third very similar, and by the end I was feeling only a slight bit of nicotine. The spice amped up as the cigar ran out, but never unpleasantly strong. Took this one right down, cool all the way. A great flavourful mild smoke.
