Toro
First, let me say I’m a big AJF fan. I received this in a sampler a couple weeks back and couldn’t find any info on the internet. When JR released the boxes and description today, I was anxious to try it. The stick definitely has a lot of earth and signature pepper, but I didn’t get much more than that. The smoke was thick and coated the mouth, I just wish there was more to it. Maybe I should’ve let it sit in the humidor longer, and will likely buy a couple more to see if humi time helps. I just hope this isn’t another Havoc release with AJ is rushing to capture novelty versus quality. I will say the construction was good.

Smoked one straight out the box and loved it. I’ll try another one after some humidor time.

When I saw this new blend I was hopeful for another win from AJ, I ordered a box. After smoking several of the cigars I’m disappointed, the quality of the cigar is great. But the flavor falls flat for me, mostly leather with a hint of cinnamon. Like licking a leather couch, flavor just isn’t for me. I do like the medium to full body strength but for me the flavor of a cigar is what keeps me coming back and this cigar just doesn’t have what I like. I was hoping for a little more of the dark chocolate bitter and sweet but I sadly found none.

I got this in a sample pack and wasn't looking forward to trying it, being it was made in Japan. It turned out to be a pretty decent cigar. Rich and bold flavor. It lasted about an hour and a half. I'd buy some more of these, but they're sold out right now.

Dry, dusty a sort of drying paint flavor on the finish.

Very good cigar! Took my time with this one and very balanced from start to finish.

Got to love the dense smoke and a rich profile. It's a bold stogie that packs a good punch. Definitely worth the money and a great representation of what AJF has to offer.

Samurai Toro is a decadent premium cigar produced exclusively for us by AJ Fernandez: one of the most talented and successful cigarmakers in Nicaragua. The brand focuses on the Samurai's thousand-year-old moral/philosophical code of "Bushido" which is Inspired by the writings of Miyamoto Masashi. Bushido emphasizes standing tall with honor, courage, mastery of martial arts, and loyalty to a master. In this case, AJ Fernandez has created yet another masterpiece that’s certain to become a wonderful addition to your humidor. These beefy (6 x 55) Toro’s are expertly rolled at AJ’s factory in Nicaragua using a combination of rare Criollo and Piloto Cubano long filler tobaccos from Nicaragua covered by a Criollo binder and a beautiful, silky smooth, Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. The end result is an exceptionally smooth and well refined medium-to-full bodied smoke, offering savory flavors of earth, white pepper, leather, and cinnamon, backed by a rich caramel sweetness on the finish.
