Shrunken Heads Toro by Outlaw Cigar 7/29/18


 Appearance
The wrapper is a medium brown color with very small veins. The seams are tightly wrapped and very difficult to find. The cigar has a nice oily sheen. There are a few soft spots but nothing major. The band is amazing! Kendall brings together pictures, colors and contrast. Well done.

Aroma
Barnyard, cedar and a hint of spice on the wrapper. Cedar, brown sugar, citrus and mild spice at the foot.

Prelight Draw
Cedar, dried fruit, light brown sugar, citrus and spice.

1st
The initial draws bring notes of cedar and dried fruit with a pinch of spice. The draw is perfect. Smoke production is in the high range from the first draws. The ash is light gray and tight with a few stack lines and seems to be developing a dog leg. Some espresso notes join the profile. The ash which had a bend in it has straightened out. The spice has been steadily increasing in body. The strength of the cigar is medium+. The burn has a bit of wave to it. As i was inspecting the burn line the ash dropped, luckily not on me.

2nd
The profile of cedar, espresso, dried fruit, light brown sugar, citrus and nutmeg spice are well balanced and wrapped with a creamy texture. The burn has fully self corrected. The finish is long with notes of cedar, espresso, dried fruit, faint citrus and nutmeg spice.

Final/3rd
The consistent flavorful profile continues into the final/3rd and right through to the nub.

Overall
The Shrunken Heads Toro provides a very enjoyable smoking experience. A balanced and flavorful profile with a perfect draw and mildly erratic burn. Definitely a cigar you need to try!
