Although the cigar's burn is solid, its flavors are even better. At the start there is some white pepper that is accompanied by sweetness. The second third offers more pepper that exhibits a stronger profile. Espresso and nuts also enter the mix here. The final third consists of more sweetness and espresso, along with some mild tobacco notes. I would definitely call the Maduro Super Toro a full-bodied stick, but it is not overpowering by any means.

The Rocky Patel Brothers Maduro Super Toro is a quality cigar. The appearance and burn passed the test, and the flavors helped to keep things interesting from start to finish. It could be a tad strong for beginners, but experienced smokers should definitely give it a shot. I would suggest the Maduro Super Toro to Rocky Patel fans looking for something full-bodied, or to those who enjoy cigars that feature Maduro wrappers. A single can average out to around $6 or $7, which is not bad considering how enjoyable and flavorful the cigar is. You can also find it in boxes of 20.

The Rocky Patel Brothers Maduro Super Toro earns a rating of 3.75 out of 4 stars.

Jose Seijas Signature Series Perfecto

The Jose Seijas Signature Series is named after the master cigar blender who spent over 30 years with Altadis USA. Over his time with the company, Seijas helped make memorable cigars for such brands as H. Upmann, Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, and more. His Signature Series has received high ratings from many respected publications, so I am certainly looking forward to light up this Perfecto and give it a go.

The Jose Seijas Signature Series Perfecto measures 6 ½ x 48. Other sizes in the line include the 4 ¼ x 46 Short Figurado, 5 x 52 Robusto, 5 ¾ x 52 Figurado, 6 1/8 x 52 Toro, 6 1/8 x 52 Belicoso, and the 7 x 50 Churchill. The filler is an interesting mix of tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Peru. The binder is Connecticut Broadleaf, and an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper completes the composition. The Signature Series is produced in the Dominican Republic and is said to be medium to full-bodied in strength.
