Cigars by Drew Estate have come a long way from their La Vieja Habana beginnings. Acid cigars aside, their Chateau Real and Liga Privada cigars have played a key role in the company's transition to the traditional cigar market, not to mention their partnership with Joya de Nicaragua.
Enter the Puros Huerfanos cigars line. Offered in two editions, the 143 Lancero and 52X line, today I want to spotlight the 52X Toro. Huerfano is Spanish for "orphan." The connection here is, the 52X line is comprised of odd size cigars made for their traditional lines. Actually, they're not all that odd, and in terms of quality and price, one of the best buys you'll ever stumble upon. Moreover, they're not seconds; they just never made it into the regular editions.
The 52X Toro offers a medium-bodied smoke blended with a core of Dominican and Nicaraguan longfillers bound in a spicy Brazilian leaf, and rolled in a buttery, aromatic
Connecticut wrapper grown in Ecuador. The smoke is creamy, toasty, and earthy with notes of sweet
cedar and a dash of spice on the
finish. The cigar burns clean exposing a firm marble ash, too.
Not only is this 6" x 52 vitola no slouch, it's smooth, full-flavored character makes it a wonderful anytime of day smoke for both new and experienced cigar smokers.
