Let’s take a closer look at five new Toro-sized cigars now available in our shop:

1. Tatuaje - L’Atelier Mission 1989 Toro (5.62x54)

Strength: Medium-Full
Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés Maduro
Origin: Nicaragua

Straight from the creative minds behind Tatuaje and crafted at the legendary My Father Cigars factory, the L’Atelier Mission 1989 is a bold yet elegant cigar built for those who appreciate complexity. The 1989 edition is a tribute to tradition and innovation—featuring a rich blend of Nicaraguan Sancti Spiritus tobaccos in both the filler and binder, topped off with a dark, oily San Andrés Maduro wrapper from Mexico.

What can you expect from this beautifully constructed Toro? A luxuriously layered profile of espresso, dark chocolate, earth, and pepper, all tied together with a slightly sweet, lingering finish. The draw is smooth, the burn line razor-sharp, and the flavors evolve with each third of the cigar, offering a rewarding experience from start to finish.

Whether you’re a Tatuaje devotee or a first-timer looking to explore the brand’s boutique brilliance, this is one you won’t want to miss.

2. Leaf by Oscar Connecticut Toro (6x52)

Strength: Mild-Medium
Wrapper: Honduran Connecticut
Origin: Honduras

At first glance, the Leaf by Oscar Connecticut might throw you off with its rugged, tobacco-leaf wrapper—an unconventional packaging move that protects the pristine cigar within. But once you unwrap it, you’ll discover a flawlessly rolled Honduran puro, showcasing Oscar Valladares’ signature craftsmanship.

This Connecticut blend breaks the mold of the traditional mild smoke. Instead of being muted or overly delicate, it offers a mellow to medium-bodied profile with rich flavors of sweet cream, cedar, and a gentle undercurrent of spice. It’s complex enough to keep veteran smokers intrigued, yet smooth enough for beginners venturing into premium cigars.

A must-try for fans of boutique cigars, the Leaf by Oscar Connecticut is a fine example of why Valladares’ creations have earned such a loyal following.

3. Leaf by Oscar Maduro Toro (6x52)

Strength: Medium-Full
Wrapper: Honduran Maduro
Origin: Honduras

The Leaf by Oscar Maduro takes the same concept as its Connecticut cousin—unassuming presentation with a bold payoff—and dials up the richness. Wrapped in a deep, dark Honduran Maduro leaf and packed with hearty tobaccos, this Toro offers a medium to full-bodied experience that’s earthy, nutty, and perfectly balanced.

Notes of dark cocoa, roasted coffee, and toasted wood hit the palate early and evolve into a smoother, slightly sweet finish. With its slow, even burn and excellent construction, the Maduro is a satisfying smoke that pairs beautifully with a dark rum or a cup of strong black coffee.

If you’re drawn to Maduro cigars that emphasize flavor over firepower, this one’s calling your name.

4. HVC Hot Cake Maduro Toro (6x54)

Strength: Medium-Full
Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés
Origin: Nicaragua

HVC’s Hot Cake Maduro Toro is another masterclass in Nicaraguan blending, brought to you by the rising star Reiner Lorenzo. This cigar gets its name from the way it smokes—rich, warm, and flavorful, like a perfectly made hotcake.

Wrapped in a luxurious San Andrés Maduro wrapper and filled with aged Nicaraguan tobaccos from Estelí and Jalapa, this Toro delivers waves of cocoa, molasses, cinnamon, and pepper. The smoke is dense and creamy, the flavor bold but not overwhelming. It's a cigar that rewards slow smoking, allowing the complexities to unfold with every draw.

A favorite among fans of modern boutique blends, the Hot Cake Maduro combines stellar construction with a flavor profile that’s both comforting and intriguing.

5. HVC Hot Cake Connecticut Toro (Golden Line - 6x54)

Strength: Mild
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut
Origin: Nicaragua

New to the Hot Cake series, the Golden Line Connecticut is a refined, milder offering that still delivers plenty of personality. This is HVC’s answer to cigar lovers who crave a creamy, nuanced smoke without sacrificing character. With its silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and a blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers from Jalapa and Estelí, this cigar leans into elegance over intensity.

Expect smooth notes of cedar, soft leather, and subtle cocoa, all carried on a mellow, balanced draw. The construction is flawless, and the ash holds firm, a testament to the quality of craftsmanship that HVC has become known for.

Scoring 91 points from the critics, this cigar proves that mild doesn't mean boring. It’s the perfect cigar for a morning smoke or a relaxing evening on the patio—approachable yet refined, making it a fantastic gateway stick for newcomers and a welcome change of pace for seasoned smokers.
