La Caya Fuerte Toro Review

Although the cigar had a clean foot and cap, its wrapper was flawed.  Upon clipping the head, there were forein particles in the bunch, which led me to question it's quality control.  The particles resembled torn pieces of flower pedals in texture, however a flower pedal wouldn't retain it's original elasticity through the fermentation and rolling processes, so I'm leaning towards some form of ribbon or plastic.

Upon smoking, mild flavours of sweetness, hints of leather, earthy notes, cedar spice, and a faint floral bouquet were detected.  The nasal exhale did not reveal any differences in tasting.  Overall an average cigar, and due to the dubious quality control of it's bunching and wrapping, I highly doubt I will try this cigar again.
