Matilde Oscura Toro Bravo

An olive green ring frames Matilde's silhouette. With prominent veins, the cape feels rather dry to the touch. It sets the tone with scents of musk and cocoa.

Made from Dominican, Nicaraguan and Pennsylvania tobacco wrapped in a beautiful dark Mexican wrapper. This cigar offers a taste journey ranging from cocoa to sweet wood aromas and subtle notes of white pepper. A gourmet "toro gordo" that takes you on a journey lasting a good hour and a quarter into a world where scents mingle and sublimate.

Notes

The first third invites you on a journey with notes of cocoa and chocolate sprinkles. Soft wisps of smoke escape and a beautiful light ash forms on the foot of the cigar.
After the first third, the ash falls to the ground in a compact block. The aromas become greener and we move from sprinkles to beans. Fresh notes of white pepper complete the tasting experience and add depth to the rather rounded aromatic palette of this cigar.

The cigar anecdote

A Matilde is best enjoyed in the sunshine, with a book and a Johannisberg.

About Matilde

The revival of a historic brand.

Founded in 1876 in Santiago de los Caballeros, the Matilde brand was one of the first tobacco companies in the Dominican Republic. After operating for several years, its activities were suspended in the early 1900s.

It was nearly 100 years later that José Seijas – then a young retiree – decided to pay tribute to his country and its tobacco culture by reviving the historic “Matilde” brand. His aim was to produce on a small scale in order to deliver a fine, high-quality product.

Since 2014, José’s venture has been a success and, following an initial cigar named “Renacer” – which simply means “Renaissance” – the brand continues to provide cigar enthusiasts worldwide with cigars boasting complex and flavourful aromas.
