Description
The CAO Surplus Maduro Toro is a cigar created with the idea of delivering exceptional flavour and craftsmanship while maintaining an approachable price point. Part of the Surplus by CAO collection, this 6 x 50 Toro showcases CAO’s blending expertise by utilizing quality tobaccos selected to provide a satisfying and memorable smoking experience. The cigar features a dark and elegant Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper placed over an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and a carefully chosen filler blend. This combination creates a medium-to-full-bodied profile with impressive depth and balance. From the first light, smokers can expect rich notes of cocoa, espresso, earth, and warm spices, complemented by hints of wood and subtle sweetness throughout the journey.
The Toro format provides an excellent smoking duration, allowing the flavours to gradually develop from the opening draw through the final third. The construction is designed for consistency, offering an enjoyable draw and an even burn that makes it suitable for both experienced cigar enthusiasts and those exploring fuller Maduro blends. With its combination of bold Maduro character, quality tobacco, and everyday affordability, the CAO Surplus Maduro Toro is an excellent choice for relaxing evenings, pairing with coffee or a favourite spirit, or simply keeping stocked in the humidor as a dependable daily smoke.
