Somm Rioja Toro exudes a sweet fruit and cream aroma, with a cold draw hinting at baking spices and floral notes. Upon lighting, it unveils medium-full flavors of toast, wood, and a distinct earthy, floral character, evolving swiftly into a full-bodied experience.
Wrapped in a 4-year-aged Corojo leaf and bound by a 3-year-aged Sumatran binder, Rioja features Dominican filler leaves aged between 3 to 4 years. Despite being a newcomer, Somm's collaboration with veteran blender Eladio Diaz results in a refined cigar, showcasing expertise honed over a decade.
As a sommelier turned cigar enthusiast, Vlada S. brings his wealth of experience to Somm's newest release, Rioja. This medium-bodied cigar delicately balances its components, offering a nuanced expression of each meticulously aged varietal.
