Tonight I am smoking a Rastafari Toro which I got about a year ago. I tried a few when I first got them and was happy with them but not too impressed. This time it's a different story.

At first I was worried that I wouldn't be able to smoke this thing because the wrapper split almost to the band. I heard it crack about 3 puffs into the smoke. Looked down and saw the San Andreas Fault had opened up in my cigar! Fortunately, it hasn't effected the perfect draw and near-perfect burn. What I notice most with this cigar is how CREAMY it tastes. Like milk chocolate, but not so cloying. Sort of a combination of woody, nutty, cocoa and cream with a fairly dry aftertaste. Smooth as fresh washed sheets. Too bad, I think it's my last one.

Based on this cigar, I think I might be getting more of these to lay down for a few years. Pretty damn tasty.

The Rastafaris do improve greatly with a year or two age on them...IMHO

I bought a 5 pack of the RasTafaris and Loved em. For the price I think they are an excellent smoke. I will definately leave a few in the humi for a while to try the full taste. thanks for the info.

Thanks agin Jazzman for that full box! I've ordered two more boxes, and I've figured out that year of humi time definitely helps! I turned a buddy of mine onto these and he was very impressed for a "budget cigar"!
