The Art of Craftsmanship: Valentino Siesto's Anniversary Collection
The Anniversary Collection exemplifies the pinnacle of Valentino Siesto’s craftsmanship, showcasing cigars that embody elegance and refinement. Crafted from tobacco leaves aged for 12 years, these cigars promise an extraordinary experience. The journey begins with a mild profile that gradually unfolds into a sophisticated fusion of spices and a gentle bitterness. Hints of bitter almonds, chocolate, and black coffee grace the palate, evolving into rich aromas of roasted almonds, nougat, and coffee as the cigar progresses. Each puff provides about 60 minutes of pure indulgence.
The Sun Grown Toro, one of the flagship cigars in Valentino Siesto’s portfolio, distinguishes itself with its signature gold ribbon and matching band. Made with Dominican filler tobaccos, a Dominican-grown Olor binder, and a sun-grown Ecuadorian wrapper, this cigar exemplifies the brand’s dedication to quality. Presented in boxes of 20, the Sun Grown line continues to captivate enthusiasts with its unique flavor profile and expert construction.
A shining Colorado wrapper with brown reflections gives the Sun Grown Toro a visually striking appearance, complemented by its silky texture and slightly accentuated veins.
Lighting the cigar reveals a sweet yet sapid smoke with dominant notes of wood, subtly balanced by earth and leather undertones. The medium strength (3/5) ensures an approachable and enjoyable experience for all enthusiasts, even on an empty stomach.
As the smoke progresses to the second third, the flavors transform, offering a harmonious balance between sapidity and sweetness. Creamier textures emerge, with aromas of black pepper, hazelnut, and balsamic nuances enriching the profile. The strength remains stable, allowing for a consistent and pleasurable evolution.
In the final third, the flavor intensity crescendos, and the aromas deepen, with the woodiness gaining prominence and the strength subtly increasing (3.5/5). The Sun Grown Toro concludes as a richly satisfying cigar, delivering a sophisticated yet approachable smoking experience. With its remarkable construction and nuanced flavors, it stands as a testament to Valentino Siesto’s legacy of excellence.
