NEW DAWN TORO REVIEW – DOM
Summary: Sourdough bread and roses are both great in their own accord, but as the first two tasting notes, they jar somewhat. Semi-successfully, sage tries to bridge the gap between bread and vegetation.
At the halfway point, sour cinnamon keeps me off balance. Tongue burning at the finish, it’s gonna be a no from me, dawg. Sorry, son.

NEW DAWN TORO REVIEW – RICH
Summary: This cigar brought notes of peanuts, hay, cedar, cream, floral, and lemon.
It needed a lot of burn corrections - to the point where it was pretty annoying to smoke. I'd like it better if it didn't need those.
