Scottish Maduro Toro by Glandon Family Cigars 12/30/17

 Appearance
A beautiful dark chocolate looking Maduro wrapper with only 1 prominent vein. The seams are visible but tightly wrapped. The Box Pressed cigar has a nice oily sheen. Filler bunch is well packed with no apparent soft spots.

Aroma
Earth and chocolate on the wrapper. Earth, chocolate and a hint of spice at the foot.

Prelight Draw
Earth, dried fruit, cocoa and a bit of spice especially on the lips and tip of the tongue.

1st
The initial draws bring notes of creamy chocolate with some earth and cinnamon spice in the background. The draw is effortless. At 1/2” in the burn is spot on. A pinch of black pepper joins the cinnamon to make an interesting spice combination. The smoke production is in the high range. The ash is salt&pepper gray and mostly tight with a little bit of stacking. Strength is at medium+. Some dried white fruit notes join the profile.

2nd
So far the profile is very well balanced. The finish is long with notes of earth, dark chocolate, dried white fruit and a combo of cinnamon/black pepper spice. A nice espresso note joins the profile midway in the 2nd/3rd. Creamy cashew notes join the already flavorful profile.

Final/3rd
The ash held firm and straight til removal at each 3rd. Strength moves to med/full. On the finish there are notes of earth, dark chocolate, dried white fruit, espresso, cashews and cinnamon/black pepper spice all in perfect balance. The creamy dark chocolate and creamy cashew notes make for a very creamy smoke.

Overall
The Glandon Family Scottish Maduro Toro provides a wonderfully enjoyable smoking experience. A complex, well balanced and very flavorful profile with perfect draw and burn. A great addition to the Salamanca Cigar Groups amazing line of blends. Another stellar blend by Mi Hermano Alan Fonseca @The_DonFonseca owner and master blender of SCG.
