Oscar Valladares 2012 Barber Pole Toro cigars are presented in boxes of 10 and are handcrafted in Honduras at Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co. This distinctive 6 x 52 box-pressed toro features a striking barber pole wrapper, combining dark Mexican San Andrés maduro with bright Candela leaf, wrapped around a Nicaraguan binder and a blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan long fillers, creating a visually unique and flavourful cigar.

Delivering a medium-bodied experience over approximately 60 minutes, it opens with notes of creamy coffee, dark chocolate, and earthy spice, balanced by grassy and citrus tones from the Candela wrapper. As the cigar develops, flavours evolve into toasted nuts, caramel sweetness, cedar, and gentle spice, with layers of wood, pepper, and subtle sweetness building towards a well-rounded and savoury finish.

Known for its reliable construction, even burn, and smooth draw despite the complex barber pole design, this cigar offers both visual appeal and flavour contrast. Combining richness and freshness in equal measure, the 2012 Barber Pole Toro is an engaging and characterful smoke, ideal for those seeking something a little different with depth and balance.
