The Reunión Digestivo Toro shows off a dark, slightly oily wrapper with firm construction and an elegant band design. Pre-light aromas bring cocoa, espresso, and earth. Cold draw reveals black pepper and roasted coffee, setting the stage for a rich profile.

Smoking Experience

• First Third – Espresso and black pepper dominate early, with dark chocolate adding balance.

• Second Third – Earthy depth develops, pepper remains sharp, while cocoa smooths the edges. Burn line stays steady.

• Final Third – Pepper intensifies, espresso grows stronger, and chocolate fades, leaving a bold, earthy finish.

Pairings

• Alcohol – Diplomatico Ambassador Rum, with molasses, dried fruit, and oak to complement the espresso and chocolate notes.

• Tea – Aged Pu-erh, earthy and complex, enhancing the cigar’s depth and rustic finish.

earthy and raw, reflecting the rustic profile.

Final Thoughts

The Bodega Premium Blends Reunión Digestivo Toro is bold and flavorful, driven by espresso, chocolate, and pepper. Balanced well in the first two thirds, though the final stretch leans heavily into spice and earth. A memorable smoke for those who enjoy intensity.

Final Score: 7/10
Why not a 10?
Pepper dominates too much in the final third, muting sweetness and complexity.Construction need corecting few times

Only cigars that deliver flawless draw, balance, flavour evolution, construction and satisfaction get a 10.
