VILLIGER TAA EXCLUSIVE 2024 TORO (6 x 52)
WRAPPER: HONDURAS
BINDER: HONDURAS
FILLER: HONDURAS
Smooth layers of honey, toast, chocolate, and earth build on each other. Earth and honey flow through the retrohale, and lightly sweetened cashew butter and spice rest quietly on the finish.
Excellent draw and smoke output.
The wrapper just cracked. Bummer. We’ll see how that works out.
Solid ash and a steady burn line. I dig that.
I smoked one of these shortly after receiving them, and it completely fell apart. I’m hoping this one holds up better.
Leather and coffee slide in on all fronts.
Queen’s “Under Pressure” comes to mind as I hear the sporadic Rice Krispie-esque snap, crackle, pop from the wrapper.
The TAA 2024 burns through its saboteurs and continues to smoke well. Can’t stop, won’t stop. Is that still a hip phrase? Is “hip phrase” still a hip phrase?
SMOKE TIME: 1 hr. 47 mins.
RATING: 3.25 / 4 - Can’t stop, won’t stop.
