APPEARANCE: This 6 x 54 Toro looked very appetizing after a wonderful Saturday roast meal. For the record, I do not like Macanudo cigars. With that said, the cigar looked and felt well crafted.
PRE-LIGHT AROMA/ BOUQUET: Very nice chocolate smell prior to light up.
SMOKE (volume, color, aroma): Average amount of smoke. Nice and gray. The aroma, color was average as well.
BURN: She had a hard time staying lit and burned uneven consistently.
ASH: Normal gray ash that flaked and fell on a regular basis.
DRAW: The draw was very laborious, and doesn’t provide much smoke until you draw on it a few times. The foot seems to have to be very hot to get a good draw.
FLAVOR 1/3: Started off kinda weird. I normally have my thoughts initially open for a cigar that I have never tried. This cigar did not give me anything up to this point. Not bad, but not necessarily good either. Kinda bland, like smoking water or something.
FINISH/AFTERTASTE 1/3: Consistently smooth, yet missing something. Oh yes, tobacco flavor!
FLAVOR 2/3: Much of the same from the first 1/3 third. Very simple and flavorless.

FINISH/AFTERTASTE 2/3: Seriously, this frickin’ thing has not changed at all. I have a headache from the boredom. Did get minor hints of coffee though.
FLAVOR 3/3: ZZZZZZ
FINISH/AFTERTASTE 3/3: Very, VERY light finish. Finally, this tedious experience is over. Unreal!
SUMMARY: The only reason I finished this cigar was to give it a fair shake. With that said, I cannot believe this MRSPs for $9.50! I have smoked cigars that were $9 less than this, and have had more flavor. Maybe they need some time. I’ll see how the Churchill does in a month or so…or maybe never.
