It comes in with noticeable pepper and quickly develops into darker flavors of espresso, cocoa, cedar and earth. The smoke tends to be thick and substantial. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst Third\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect black pepper up front, followed by cedar, earth and roasted coffee. The Maduro wrapper gives it some richness, but this is definitely built around power and flavor rather than being a delicate smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond Third\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pepper begins to settle down and the cocoa and coffee become more pronounced, with earthy and woody notes underneath. This is where the cigar starts showing more balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinal Third\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final third gets darker and richer, with espresso, cocoa, cedar and earth carrying the profile. Pepper returns toward the finish and the cigar maintains its full-bodied character. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction \u0026amp; Burn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally reported as having an easy draw and a steady, even burn, with a firm ash and plenty of smoke. There are some reports of occasional tight draws, so consistency may vary from cigar to cigar. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Experience\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of cigar I would put in the big-flavor, everyday Maduro category. It’s not trying to be sophisticated or complicated. It’s dark, peppery, earthy and coffee-forward, with enough cocoa and creaminess to keep the profile from becoming one-dimensional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interesting part is the value-to-flavor proposition. Cigar Aficionado previously reviewed the Omar Ortez Originals Toro at 90 points, describing woody, leather, earthy and cocoa characteristics, while the Maduro version takes that general profile into a darker, more pepper-forward direction. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairing Suggestions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"MailOutline\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e☕ Bold espresso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e☕ Dark roast coffee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🥃 Aged rum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🥃 Bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍫 Dark chocolate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBurnt Leaf Insight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a cigar for the guy who says, “Give me something dark, strong and flavorful.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the Burnt Leaf, I would position the Omar Ortez Maduro Toro as an approachable full-strength Maduro that delivers pepper, coffee, cocoa and earth without pretending to be something it isn’t.It has that old-school, rustic cigar-shop character that can make it a very interesting everyday smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementToProof\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementToProof\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementToProof\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"The Burnt Leaf Lounge","offers":[{"title":"SINGLE","offer_id":67806585585863,"sku":"196043041770","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BOX OF 20","offer_id":67806585618631,"sku":null,"price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0724\/6535\/files\/c7e46021-657e-4df7-8ed7-2ff2141e71f5.jpg?v=1790872962","url":"https:\/\/www.theburntleaflounge.com\/products\/omar-ortez-maduros-toro-6-x-54","provider":"The Burnt Leaf Lounge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
