Doble Toro Cigars

What Is a Doble Toro Cigar?

The Doble Toro is a gordo-class vitola built around a 60-ring gauge and a 6-inch length, and that 60RG is the headline. Sixty ring is roughly 15/16 of an inch in diameter — nearly double a classic Lancero — which means a much larger cross-section of filler leaf relative to wrapper. The practical effect: a cooler, more open draw with less resistance, because air moves through more filler channels at once. But that same volume dilutes wrapper-driven flavors — the wrapper contributes proportionally less to each puff, so ligero-heavy blends can taste rounder and less sharp, while delicate Connecticut-shade blends can read muted. Compare it to a Toro (6 x 50): the Doble Toro trades 10 points of ring for a slower, cooler, more voluminous smoke, with less intensity per puff but more total leaf in the blend. The 6-inch length keeps smoke temperature moderate and gives the blend room to evolve — typically opening with spice or pepper, settling into cocoa or cedar mid-body, and finishing with leather and earth as the cherry nears the band. Alec Bradley Black Market Doble Toro is a reference point here: the 60RG softens the blend's sharper edges into a creamier, sweeter smoke than its Robusto sibling.
