Artista ART 56 Maduro Toro

The 5 1/2 x 50 Toro size feels perfect in hand, and the draw is remarkably smooth for a medium-to-full strength stick. Burned evenly from start to finish, delivering a rich, consistent experience.

I was a little worried the medium-to-full strength might be too much, but the 5 1/2 x 50 Toro size balances it perfectly for a long, relaxed smoke. The draw is nice and even, and the Maduro wrapper gives a rich, consistent flavor from start to finish.

The draw is surprisingly smooth for a maduro, and the medium-to-full strength hits just right without being overwhelming. Burned evenly down to a firm ash, making for a relaxing hour-long smoke.
