Alec Bradley Black Market Toro - Box of 24

The standard-sized expression of Black Market's four-country blend. At 6 x 50, the Toro wraps a Nicaraguan Jalapa leaf, cured to a dark, shimmering Colorado Maduro patina, around an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, with filler tobacco combining Honduran Jamastran Valley leaf and rarer Panamanian long-fillers, all handmade in Danlí, Honduras since the line's 2011 debut.

Clipping the cap on this size reveals a genuinely layered aroma before the cigar is even lit: cedar, earthiness, and spice up front, with notes of cocoa, coffee, clove, and a distinct mint or spearmint quality that several reviewers have specifically called out as unusual and memorable. Once lit, the first puffs bring a wave of natural sweetness that settles into the blend's signature combination, earth, black pepper, licorice, leather, and cream, with cedar and cocoa developing steadily as the smoke progresses at a medium body throughout.

At 6 x 50, the Toro sits at a genuinely classic proportion within the Black Market lineup, offering more length and a wider ring gauge than the concentrated Torpedo while staying shorter than the Churchill or Gordo. This makes it a practical, well-rounded introduction to the blend for anyone who hasn't yet decided which shape suits their preference, delivering the same earthy, spicy, Cubanesque character the line is known for in one of its most traditional formats.
