Appearance
A silky light brown colored wrapper with a couple of prominent veins and a nice oily sheen. The filler bunch is well packed with no apparent soft spots.
Aroma
Faint cedar on the wrapper. Cedar and mild white pepper spice at the foot.
Prelight Draw
Orange peel, cedar, hay and white pepper spice.
1st
The initial draws bring notes of cedar, hay and faint orange peel with a hint of white pepper spice. The draw is a bit snug and the burn a bit wavy. The ash is light gray, fairly tight but flaky at the same time. Strength starts at mild/medium. Smoke production is at the low end of medium range. The white pepper spice has become more prominent. The draw has opened up.
2nd
The 2nd/3rd starts with a good draw and a slightly wavy burn. The flavor profile has remained consistent from the start. The finish is long with notes cedar, hay, orange peel and white pepper spice.
Final/3rd
Profile continues into the final/3rd. Burn is fully self corrected. Profile continues right to the nub.
Overall
The Altar Q Toro by Oscar provides an enjoyable smoking experience. A well balanced flavor profile with a good draw and mildly erratic burn.
