Tor 30th Birthday Cigar Sampler

Our great friends at Tor Imports are celebrating 30 years of business. They have worked tirelessly to introduce and embed New World Cigars into the UK cigar market. To celebrate their great milestone, we have brought in four new cigars from the four major nations their portfolio represents – Nicaragua, Dominican Repbulic, Honduras, Mexico.

Nicaragua: Joya de Nicaragua Numero Uno L’Ambasadeur

The link between Tor and Nicaragua is strong and, evidently, special. Nicaragua has now emerged as the cigar nation with the highest volume of cigar production in the world. Their unique relationship with Joya de Nicaragua in particular, as well as many others, enhances Tor’s great reputation in Central America as a renowned cigar distributor in the UK.

The Numero Uno L’ambassadeur is a medium-strength cigar with a binder and filler made of premium Nicaraguan tobacco that supports its Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. Very close to a Lonsdale vitola, this cigar is of the elegant slim and tall size - 6 5/8’’ x 44.

Honduras: Alec Bradley Black Market Robusto

The Black Market is one of their most popular lines of cigars. The filler blend is an intriguing mix; it includes tobacco from Panama with Alex Bradley’s flagship Honduran tobacco. Combined with an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and Nicaraguan wrapper, the Black Market blend has united elite tobacco from four different regions to produce these cigars. The Robusto is 5 ¼‘’ x 52 size cigar with a medium-to-full strength profile.

Dominican Republic: La Aurora 107 Ecuador Robusto

The 107 Ecuador cigar is distinguished by its sun-grown Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, resulting in an oily texture and rustic, natural red colour. The cigar is complete with a Dominican binder from the Cibao Valley, and finished with filler from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Peru. This may be surprising, but this a medium-to-full5 X 50 nearly makes this the typical robusto size, perfect for 45 minutes smoke after dinner

Mexico: Casa Turrent 1880 Claro Lancero

Casa Turrent is widely recognised as the best cigar brand to come out of Mexico. Not many have attempted to roll a lancero size cigar outside of Cuba, but Casa Turrent have made their own in this now popular-again size. The 1880 claro blend is considered by many to be Casa Turrent’s marquee blend. The narrow 40 ring gauge and 7 ½’’ length means, when smoked correctly, this cigar is an hour-long smoke.
