Murcielago Toro by Espinosa y Ortega


" Bat out of Hell "

The Devil's Weed !!

Should you come upon a chance pre departure meeting with the Devil himself and he offers you a stick from his personal stash, what else could you do but accept it ? Such was recently the case for me and besides it was already lit.
Without a doubt, this is the cigar you will be offered.
The "Murcielago" out of Hell is one of his personal house blends.

Murcielago from Espinosa y Ortega the makers of 601, Cubao and Mi Barrio blends and are blended by Don Pepin Garcia. The cigar features a dark oily Mexican San Andreas wrapper, Mexican binder and Nicaraguan fillers.

The resulting cigar is a power house combination of Industrial strength tobaccos. Were I to put my finger on the dark flavors of this beast they would best be described as
Notes of
Wood - Gaboon Ebony
Spice – Whole Black Peppercorns
Coffee – Triple Expresso
Earth - La Brea Tar pits
Leather – Back in Black

Surely the or one of the strongest cigars I have ever survived. Move over
La Flor ” Double Ligero”, Antano, Prensado and you other titans of power, there’s a new contender in town and it's name is Murcielago.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed this cigar and its perfect if you need a little trip without leaving your chair.
Did I mention that this thing is STRONG !!!
