Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Toro Gordo Review

Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
Filler: Nicaraguan
Price: $8.00

I have had this cigar in my humidor for a couple months now, and I was just waiting for a nicer day to smoke it because it is a 6 x 60. It is hard to smoke a cigar of this size when it is freezing outside. Luckily the past few days have been flirting around 50 degrees, so I finally had the right day to review this cigar.

The wrapper on this cigar is very dark brown, and very oily. Like most Connecticut broadleaf wrappers, the leaf was very thick. There were a couple very thin veins that ran throughout the wrapper, but they didn’t cause any worry to me. The cap on this cigar was perfectly flush and consisted of three layers. This cigar had a relatively soft foot, while the rest of the cigar was solid. There was also a very unique smell coming from this stick. The smell consisted of sweet, bitter, and earthy tones.
