Flavor Profile
The Maracana Toro continues Tim Ozgener’s long-standing affinity for Brazilian tobacco. The Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper delivers notes of dark cocoa, earth, leather, oak, black pepper, and a subtle caramel-like sweetness. The Honduran and Nicaraguan core adds depth, balancing richness with a refined, savory character.
Construction & Burn
Produced at the My Father Cigars Honduras factory, the Maracana features soft box-pressed construction and is designed for a consistent, balanced burn. The Toro format provides enough smoking time for the blend to evolve without becoming overwhelming.
Overall Experience
If you enjoy cigars such as the Brazilia, My Father blends, or darker Brazilian-wrapped cigars, the Maracana Toro should feel familiar while offering a more polished and modern presentation. It leans toward rich, earthy sweetness rather than outright strength, making it approachable for experienced smokers and adventurous intermediates alike.
Burnt Leaf Insight
This cigar feels like Tim Ozgener paying homage to both his past and his passion for soccer. The Brazilian wrapper is the star of the show, bringing a combination of sweetness, spice, and dark tobacco character that stands out from the crowded medium-full market. For Burnt Leaf smokers, this is the kind of cigar that pairs beautifully with espresso, aged rum, or a good conversation during a big game.
