The A. Flores 1975 Gran Reserva Maduro Toro is a good-looking, medium-bodied cigar that burns with strong notes of cocoa and almonds. It’s a well-built cigar with a maduro wrapper that is soft and shiny. Its smoke is thick and creamy. Overall, it is an excellent cigar.

I smoked it outdoors after a good meal on a Sunday afternoon and paired it with a 12-year-old Scotch.

The cigar burned calmly as if time was abundant, as if tomorrow wasn’t announced yet. Time burned, but it burned slowly. I was with my wife and friends. We were having a very good time, and we were going to have a very good night.
