The Beginning

The cigar opens with notes of toasted cedar, earth, and mild black pepper. The retrohale carries toasted cedar with a touch of light earth. At around an inch and a quarter, the earth becomes more pronounced, and by an inch and three-quarters a gentle creaminess enters the profile. As the first third concludes, toasted cedar leads, followed by dry earth, with subtle black pepper and cream in the background. Strength sits just below medium.

The Middle

At the start of the second third, toasted cedar and dry earth sit evenly at the forefront. The retrohale mirrors this balance, combining both notes with a touch of mild black pepper. About an inch in, the black pepper becomes more pronounced. By the end of this section, toasted cedar and dry earth remain evenly matched, supported by black pepper through the middle and a light creaminess in the background. Strength rises to a solid medium.

The End

In the final third, the black pepper softens while the creaminess fades away. By the half-inch mark, a touch of wood bitterness emerges, which develops into a more pronounced vegetal bitterness by an inch in. The retrohale shifts to a mix of toasted cedar and dry earth. Towards the close, the profile settles with toasted cedar and dry earth at the forefront, vegetal bitterness through the middle, and black pepper lingering in the background. Strength holds steady at medium.

Burn & Draw

The burn performed flawlessly, straight and even, producing plenty of smoke, maintaining a cool temperature, and holding firm ashes. The draw was equally excellent, offering just the right balance of airflow and resistance.

Overall

The Freud SuperEgo Toro delivered an elegant and nuanced flavour profile throughout, with consistently balanced and lighter flavour combinations. The burn was flawless, while the draw leaned slightly towards the resistant side. This is a cigar that requires attention, at times asking you to seek out its subtler notes.

Ross Rating: 9/10
