Overview

The Toro is the Robusto's bigger sibling: a 6-inch cigar with a 52 ring gauge that's become one of the best-selling vitolas in the industry. That extra inch of length gives the smoke more room to develop, producing a more gradual, evolving flavor journey while the generous ring gauge ensures a cool, voluminous draw. Many aficionados consider the Toro the ideal size for experiencing a blend's full potential.
