Every good taco crawl needs a spicy stop, and in the Rojas Street Tacos lineup, that's the Rojas Street Tacos Al Pastor cigar. The third regular-production blend in the series, it joins the Rojas Street Tacos Barbacoa cigar and the Rojas Street Tacos Carnitas cigar as the boldest of the bunch.
Where its siblings stay all-Nicaraguan at the core, the Rojas Street Tacos Al Pastor Toro cigar mixes things up. A Dominican and Nicaraguan filler blend is bound in a Mexican San Andrés leaf, a tobacco known for its rich, dark character, and finished with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. It's rolled at the Rojas Cigar Factory, a renovated movie theater in Estelí, Nicaragua, and sized at a 6" x 52 toro, which gives all that spice plenty of room to develop over a relaxed session of roughly an hour and a half.
What does the Rojas Street Tacos Al Pastor Toro cigar taste like?
The Rojas Street Tacos Al Pastor Toro cigar is spicier than its namesake dish. It starts out medium-plus and builds to medium-full in the final third, serving up earth, cedar, white pepper, leather, and a pinch of paprika over toast. It's a great pick for hobbyists who like their tacos and their cigars with some kick.
