Toro is one of the most appreciated cigar sizes amongst cigar smokers worldwide. Let’s see what makes Toros unique.
Toro Cigars' origin and smoking time
Toro ranks just behind Robustos in popularity. Historically called coronas gordas or “fat coronas,” Toro is the word in Spanish for “Bull.” We can agree with the people who named this cigar size after these strong, imposing animals. Toros offers a robust and stunning smoking experience lasting from 45 minutes to over an hour.
Toro Cigar Size
A traditional Toro is a parejo-shaped cigar that measures 6 to 6.5 inches long with a ring gauge of 52 to 54. A Toro can look similar to a Robusto cigar in size and shape but is technically a bit longer and slightly thicker. (Robustos traditionally are 50 ring gauge) Cigar aficionados love Toros because they’re not too big and they’re not too small. Toro is one of the three initial sizes of Chateau Diadem Premium cigars and is very appreciated among our clients.
