Year of Ed (6 x 54 Box-Pressed Toro) — Aged 2 Years
A showcase of refined Nicaraguan craftsmanship, the Year of Ed is a beautifully aged release that balances power with elegance. Rested for two full years to soften the edges and unlock its natural sweetness, this box-pressed Toro features a Jalapa Habano wrapper over a Salvadoran binder, with premium Estelí and Condega fillers—all expertly produced at Tabacalera Annex.
From the first draw, this cigar delivers a rich, dessert-like profile that evolves with precision. What starts as smooth cocoa quickly opens into layers of nuts, caramel, and spice, creating a luxurious, full-flavored experience without overwhelming strength. It’s plush through the core with just enough edge on the finish to keep things interesting—exactly what aged Nicaraguan tobacco should deliver.
Flavor Profile:
- Pre-Light: Cocoa nibs, cedar, and a hint of caramel
- First Third: Milk chocolate, toasted hazelnut, and soft caramel sweetness
- Second Third: Marzipan, baking spice, and gentle espresso with a creamy texture
- Final Third: Dark chocolate, leather, clove, and a long cocoa-dusted finish
Medium to medium-full in body, the Year of Ed is rich, smooth, and deeply satisfying from start to finish.
Pairing Recommendations:
Pairs exceptionally well with a milk stout or chocolate porter, tawny port, or a bold espresso to complement and elevate its layered cocoa and caramel notes.
A polished, indulgent smoke built on patience, precision, and perfectly aged Nicaraguan tobacco.
