Don Pepin Garcia Original Toro Grande is a box pressed 6 x 62 cigar from the line also known as the Blue Label. The original Don Pepin Garcia blend launched in 2003 and put master blender José “Pepin” Garcia on the map. It is also the inspiration for many of the Garcia family’s later lines. The Toro Grande is one of its largest sizes.
The blend is built from Nicaraguan tobacco. A dark, oily, reddish brown Corojo Oscuro wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and well aged Nicaraguan long fillers. The strength is medium to full. Expect cedar, leather, espresso and white pepper, with cocoa, hot pepper and a woody, earthy base. Cigar Aficionado noted big woody flavours and a solid ash.
The 62 ring gauge of the Don Pepin Garcia Original Toro Grande gives a cool, dense and plentiful smoke, and the soft box press adds a comfortable, flat sided grip. Plan on roughly 90 to 120 minutes, depending on pace. The size suits a relaxed afternoon or evening with time to spare.
This cigar appeals to smokers who like large ring gauges and traditional, full flavoured Nicaraguan blends. It is also a good choice for anyone curious about the cigar that started the Garcia family’s rise.
