Psyko Seven Natural Toro
Remove label before lighting. It all starts with this little warning. As if we were the Psyko of tasting and not him. My contrarian spirit will naturally prompt me to ignore the warning and enjoy the first rebellious puffs of this cigar before revealing its Dominican wrapper.
The wrapper is rough to the touch, and when you look closely, you can see the small teeth that give it its distinctive texture. The filling is good and firm to the touch.
For the filler, seven tobaccos from multiple countries have been selected to bring balance and flavour to this cigar.
Take the time to examine the cape before lighting it. The small teeth that make it rough will be visible on the ash in the form of small white dots.
Tasting menu
Notes
The start focuses on the cocoa notes that could be detected when raw. A smooth introduction that prepares us for the rest of the tasting, which will be enhanced by small doses of pepper from the Mexican binder.
The second third becomes more complex with a pleasant hint of nutmeg and grass. The smoke, which was rather discreet at the beginning of the tasting, becomes more pronounced and the draw remains as smooth as ever.
Pairing
Indulge in a pairing with a rather dark craft beer with bitter notes.
