Hogs...what?
Look, I'm not here to argue the fine points of cigar naming, but I'm also not above serving up an impromptu history lesson. Plus, this one makes perfect sense. A hogshead, besides just being served on a silver platter with an apple in its mouth, is a large wooden barrel in which tobacco or alcohol was transported and stored back when great grand pappy was still around. This not only made lugging product from place to place easier, it also allowed whatever was inside to marry and age. Now that I'm done playing professor, welcome to the Torano family: Hogshead.
Torano Hogshead brings deep flavors in spades, thanks to a three country blend of Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Pennsylvanian filler leaves. This hearty, dense core is then met with a Sumatran binder and a thick Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper leaf. The end result is a complex, rich display that's slightly spicy, issuing notes of coffee, earth, and pepper. Medium to full-bodied, and brimming with rustic old school charm, this one is going to make some waves in a jiffy. The highly enjoyable price tag is merely icing on the cake.
