1502 Emerald Toro (6 x 50) – Box of 20 (Box-Pressed)

For a premium cigar boasting a Nicaraguan Corojo Habano wrapper and tobaccos from Estelí and San Andres Mexico, the 1502 Emerald Toro offered a surprisingly smooth and mellow smoking experience. This smoothness comes from aging these fine tobaccos for five years in cedar cabinets, so that I was able to enjoy a smoke with lush, easygoing notes of cedar, earth, coffee, and wood.

The 1502 Emerald Toro (6 x 50) is the refined, sophisticated “gentle giant” of the 1502 collection. While the Black Gold line focuses on power, the Emerald is engineered for complexity and balance. This Box-Pressed Toro features a stunning Nicaraguan Habano wrapper and is famous for the “Cigar Lock” (partially closed foot), which allows you to taste the wrapper’s natural oils immediately upon lighting.

In 2026, the Box of 20 is highly sought after in Australia by those who enjoy a medium-bodied, “creamy-and-dreamy” smoke that doesn’t sacrifice flavor for strength.

The “Emerald” Elegance

The Emerald is often described as the most “Cubanesque” of Enrique Sánchez’s blends. The Corojo-Habano wrapper provides a beautiful aromatic quality, while the box-pressing ensures a smooth, cool draw that highlights the subtle transitions of the Toro format.

• Wrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo-Habano (Silky and aromatic)

Tasting Notes:

• The Introduction: The “Cigar Lock” foot gives a clean, light taste of sweet hay and toasted grain.

• The Core: The profile is dominated by creamy cedar, roasted cashews, and a soft floral sweetness. It is incredibly smooth on the retrohale.

• The Finish: A gentle white pepper spice emerges toward the end, balanced by a lingering buttery texture and notes of cinnamon.
