Mike's Notes - 

A Robustum by name but Toro by vitola is a little confusing but it’s just a tad bigger than a normal robusto. The wrapper is light brown and hails from Ecuador. Both filler and binder come from Nicaragua. This is a solid medium bodied cigar to me, although it is classed as full bodied by EL Viejo Continente. It is not a Nicaraguan power bomb. I found that the lighter Ecuadorian Habano wrapper tempers the strength of the Nicaraguan tobacco which results in a delightfully complex smoke.
