Meant to be savored and enjoyed slowly, our six-inch Barrel-Fermented Toro cigar—toros are also called corona gordas or ‘fat coronas’—features a robust ring gauge of fifty two, which makes for a fuller, more flavorful smoke. The sophisticated blend starts with bundles of Kentucky fire-cured tobacco that are soaked in Pappy Van Winkle bourbon barrels during a 12-18 month fermentation process before they’re combined with the finest Mexican and Indonesian tobacco and hand-rolled by the exceptional artisans at Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua. The result is a one-of-a-kind cigar unlike anything else on the market—a bourbon-tinged blend that pairs well with spicier spirits such as rye. The strength level of the Pappy Van Winkle Barrel Fermented Cigar is "Medium Plus," which allows both new smokers and experienced aficionados to enjoy the blend.
The passion project of two college buddies from New York (Jonathan Drew and Marvin Samel), Drew Estates, based in Esteli, Nicaragua, is the result of decades of hardwork and a commitment to rolling some of the finest cigars you can find. They’re also deeply committed to supporting the people who work for them, creating an inspiring art-filled workspace and providing both healthcare and reliable transportation.
Our cigars arrive sealed and shrink wrapped in cellophane. We are unable to accept returns on opened boxes.
How quickly your cigars will dry out depends on the humidity in the air. More humid climates are better for cigars. In general, you should store cigars in a humidor or airtight bag as soon as your shipment arrives. Due to inconsistent shipping climates, it is important to give your cigars a few days to rehydrate before enjoying one. If you don't have a humidor we suggest putting the cigars in a plastic food storage bag or container. For every 25 cigars stored, put a damp sponge or paper towel in the bag or container. Store the bag on a shelf or in a closet. If you don't have a humidor, we suggest purchasing one of our Boveda humidor bags or one of our 2-way humidity control packs designed to keep your cigars at the ideal humidity. They are available for purchase on our website. Please note: Our cigars arrive sealed and shrink-wrapped in cellophane. We are unable to accept returns on opened boxes.
This cigar is great! The toro size is perfect for me and the taste is very good. It is not a strong, overwhelming med-full bodied cigar and goes very well with which ever choice of bourbon I decide to go with.
What an amazing cigar. I had a life long friend and fellow cigar enthusiast visit me this weekend and could not wait to light one up with him. No other cigar provides the intensely unique flavor profile quite like this masterpiece. You truly don’t want the experience to shortened, but you also can’t wait for the second wrap to introduce new sensations. Thanks for producing an awesome cigar to share with a cherished friend.
burns even and slow with a great ash
These were very satisfying cigars. I enjoyed the taste and aroma from beginning to end.
I have just started my retail cigar shop and was introduced to the Pappy.. I was taken aback at the flavor.. the burn and most importantly the unique taste!!
Just had the opportunity to enjoy the Pappy Van Winkle Fermented cigar. Very nice smoke with a good draw, great flavor and smooth. I would definitely buy again!
