Tabacos Baez Serie SF Toro

Tabacos Baez Serie SF Toro is a 6 x 50 cigar made at the My Father Cigars factory under Don José “Pepin” Garcia. The “SF” stands for short filler, and the cigar uses the Cuban “sandwich” style of construction. It is the first short filler brand My Father created as a house brand, and it comes in a green and gold cabinet style box.

Each cigar is handmade in Nicaragua. A Habano-Nicaraguan wrapper, medium brown with a slightly oily look, covers a Nicaraguan binder and a filler of long and short leaf. Per JR Cigar, the sandwich blend is mostly long filler, and its leaf comes from the same plants as the Garcia family’s pricier cigars. The strength is medium. Expect coffee, cedar and earth, with cocoa, walnut and a dash of pepper on the finish.

The Toro format gives the blend more time to develop than the Robusto, with a smooth draw and an even burn. Reviewers say the sandwich construction smokes like a long filler cigar. Allow roughly 60 to 90 minutes, depending on pace.

This cigar suits smokers who want a flavourful Nicaraguan puro for everyday enjoyment. It is also an easy way to try the Garcia family’s cigars before moving to their premium lines.
