Description
The Gran Toro 56 may be the most complex of all the Sencillo Platinums. The peppery taste of the smaller Sencillo Platinum cigars is present for only the first inch or so, soon subsumed in hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, and other spices. Further down, one catches the distinctive bittersweet flavor of cocoa powder. The Gran Toro 56’s aroma recalls the experience of visiting a Middle Eastern spice merchant – it is fascinating and intricate, filled with too many scents to readily identify.
Handmade in Danli, Honduras, the Sencillo Platinum blend uses Habano de Jamastran tobacco for the wrapper, filler, and binder, with Piloto Cubano tobacco added to the filler to balance out the flavor. The Sencillo Platinum is a puro, made entirely from tobacco grown in Honduras.
All of the Sencillo Platinum cigars exude a rich, spicy flavor and have notes of allspice and cinnamon. A bountiful flavor lingers on your tongue. A slightly sweet undertone tames the spicy taste. The medium-to-full bodied tobacco has the refined, leathery taste that reveals careful fermentation and aging.
