WEST TAMPA TOBACCO CO. CIRCLE OF LIFE | CIGAR REVIEW

MAY 29, 2025 - PHIL KURUT, COMEDY - CIGARS - MUSIC

WEST TAMPA TOBACCO CO. CIRCLE OF LIFE TORO (6 x 54)

WRAPPER: ECUADORIAN HABANO OSCURO

BINDER: ECUADORIAN SUMATRA

FILLER: DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, NICARAGUA

Earth, a very light dash of spice, and sweetness, which hints at chocolate, introduce me to Circle of Life. Easy draw followed by tons of smoke.

Clean retrohale with the slightest bit of coffee. Grilled steak, coffee, and a touch of sweetness remain on the finish.

Nothing jumps out to take the lead so far. A lot of quiet talkers in this group.

Thus far, there’s an excellent burn line and a fairly solid ash.

Light cream and cashew make appearances, and smooth leather teams up with coffee on the finish. Everything remains fairly quiet. No excitement, but it’s definitely a smooth and clean experience. Pairing it with my coffee and chocolate milk would help.

SMOKE TIME: 1 hr. 48 mins.

RATING: 3 / 4 - Definitely a smooth and clean experience.
