La Palina Nicaragua Oscuro Robusto
Cigar Aficionado · Oct 1, 2024
Earthy first puffs set the tone for this cigar, which draws and burns well. It’s bold with notes of coffee bean, leather and slate, but takes on a honey-and-nut sweetness, especially on the finish.

Halfwheel · Jan 12, 2017 · September 2016
If you are in the mood for pepper, the La Palina Nicaragua Oscuro Toro has it in spades, which makes an interesting contrast to the creaminess that is present on the palate. In fact, the black pepper—and to a lessor extent, cinnamon and spice—are pervasive in the profile, although they stop just short of being overwhelming at any point. The other flavors that are present are distinct, but none really stand out other than the aforementioned creamy leather and even a little sweetness would have really helped the overall complexity quite a bit. The construction was excellent across all three samples, but in the end, this is a cigar for those that want more pepper than complexity in their cigars.

Mocha | Woods | Peppercorn Hits the palate stiffly, then softens into an eventual accumulating creaminess. Primaries are a generic wood array braced & attainable mocha melange. Peppercorn does abrade some on the onset, more body then flavor, calms after 1/3 (see: softens). Toppers are all toasted darkly. Bit charcoaly. Undertones are smoky and a bit less than clean; mostly consisting of creamy dirt -- again darkly-so. Murky-some. Some leathers, too. More charcoaly. Finishes in a lengthy sweet-bi
