The H Upmann Havoc Toro measures 6x54 with a smooth, oily dark tan wrapper. The stick has a sweet, earthy aroma. It has a tight pack, with only a few veins throughout. The cigar features a Mexican San Andres Cuban seed wrapper, a Dominican piloto binder, and Nicaraguan fillers. This cigar has a really nice feel to it. Time to light up.
When you get this cigar lit up, you get a sweet chocolate flavor with a woody finish, a very nice blend. It has a nice even burn, a draw with medium resistance, and decent smoke output. This is a very natural tasting cigar that brings a lot of flavor changes. Just within the 1/3 point, the cigar already went from the sweet chocolate to a bitter tobacco flavor. The finish stayed the same. Interesting flavor change.
The 2/3 point of this cigar brings even more changes to the flavor. This time the flavor changed from a bitter tobacco back to a sweet flavor. This time it wasn't chocolate, it was more of a sweet soil flavor. Construction-wise, the burn has become just a tad uneven, smoke output has increased, and the draw is the same. The cigar has a pretty strong ash that holds on for about an inch and 3/4 at a time.
3/3's to the end of this cigar keeps the same flavor but brings a different finish. The woody finish went away and an oaky finish with just a little spice was brought in. The flavors and finish stayed the same from then on. I love a cigar that has constant changes to the flavor and finish. This cigar is probably the best you can get at it's price ($6). It has fantastic construction, decently even burn, nice draw, and good smoke output. Definitely in my top 5, if not my favorite.
Stogie Rite score: 98
