Have a Cigar: Puro Del Oro Toro

Chris Khatsch1 Comment

Name: Puro Del Oro Toro

Country: Nicaragua

Shape: Parejo

Size: Toro (5 7/8 inches x 54)

Strength: Medium to Full

When I talk about budget cigars, I talk about cigars like Puro Del Oro. They are affordable, good quality cigars that you can enjoy all the time. Though my preferred Puro Del Oro is the Petit Torpedo, I found the Toro to be pretty decent as well.

I usually smoke these while reading or while having an afternoon beer on my balcony. But smoking too many of these may bore your palate, too.

Have a Cigar: Leonardo Siglo.6

Name: Leonardo Siglo.6

Country: Honduras

Shape: Parejo

Size: Toro (6 inches x 52)

Strength: Medium

The Leonardo Siglo.6 is a leathery cigar with notes of walnut and bitter cocoa. It has a firm draw but opens up after the first third.

Arabic coffee is what I paired it with at first before I switched to a blended Scotch whisky. I smoked it on and off. It went well with the cheese and bread I was having.

Have a Cigar: Puro Del Oro Petit Torpedo

Chris Khatsch2 Comments

Name: Puro Del Oro Petit Torpedo

Country: Nicaragua

Shape: Torpedo

Size: (5 inches x 64)

Strength: Medium to Full

Earthy, creamy with coffee notes, the Puro Del Oro Petit Torpedo is a decent budget cigar that you can enjoy while you read the news or a good book after a long day.

Good draw. Thick, cloudy smoke. Good burn, though a little uneven when my draws became a little sporadic. But that’s because I was drawn into the book I was reading.

The story I was reading while smoking was Nikolai Gogol’s “The Nose.” I found it to be funny and entertaining. Every now and then, however, words of wisdom suddenly surfaced. Here’s a quote from it:

But there is nothing enduring in this world, and that is why even joy is not as keen in the moment that follows the first; and a moment later it grows weaker still and finally merges imperceptibly into one’s usual state of mind, just as a ring on the water, made by the fall of a pebble, merges finally into the smooth surface.

from “The Nose” by Nikolai Gogol
