This Hoyo is listed as a medium bodied cigar but I found it to be quite bold. It was a Toro (6.12 x 50) wrapped in a beautiful oily Connecticut shade wrapper and was well constructed. It burned even throughout with a flaky white ash. The aroma was rich and spicy while the flavors were woody with a distinctive pepper in the background. The foundation I found to be that of full bodied tobacco. It ended in the final 3rd with a bit of spice.
I was a little disappointed that this cigar wasn't as smooth as I anticipated. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it, I think I it just didn't meet my expectations. All around a very good smoke that would be great following a nice hearty meat dish with a bit of pepper and garlic.
