Flavor Profile

The Toro No.3 is a grand expression of the Diamond Crown blend, offering a long and cool smoke that highlights its intricate layers. It begins with notes of sweet cream, cedar, and light spice. The larger size allows the flavors of roasted almonds and floral aromas to develop slowly and beautifully. The mild-to-medium bodied smoke is rich and aromatic, showcasing the blend’s refined construction. The finish is long and satisfying, characterized by a balanced interplay of wood, sweet hay, and aged tobacco.

Construction

This Toro features the signature Connecticut Fermented Wrapper (CFW), which undergoes a unique second fermentation to achieve its silky, golden-rosado appearance. Hand-rolled by Arturo Fuente’s top torcedores, it uses exclusively aged Dominican long-fillers. The construction is world-class, offering a flawless, vein-free wrapper and a perfectly applied cap. It is renowned for its exceptional consistency, providing a smooth, effortless draw and an even burn that results in a long, white, and firm ash.

Pairing Suggestion

As a classic, medium-bodied smoke with a smooth Connecticut Shade wrapper, the Toro No.3 pairs perfectly with a light-bodied Chardonnay or a crisp pilsner. Its subtle notes of cedar, sweet hay, and nuts are enhanced by beverages that offer a clean, acidic profile. For a classic morning smoke, a cappuccino or a light roast coffee provides a creamy texture that mirrors the cigar's smooth finish. It also pairs well with mild, creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert.
