Its construction features an Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper, recognized for its oily sheen and durability. The binder consists of Indonesian Sumatra leaf, known for its combustion properties.

Flavor Development

Initial draws of the Fellow Craft Toro present earthy undertones with cedar notes and a white pepper accent. Mid-section transitions reveal cocoa powder textures and stone fruit sweetness attributed to the Jalapa leaf content. Final thirds introduce mineral nuances from Esteli-grown tobaccos, accompanied by sustained black pepper spice. Smoke output remains dense throughout, facilitated by the cigar’s open draw and uniform ash formation.

Masonic Series Context

This cigar represents the medium-bodied tier in Hiram & Solomon’s Masonic Series, positioned between the milder Apprentice blend and fuller Master Mason variant. The series draws inspiration from historical craft guild hierarchies, with the Fellow Craft targeting smokers seeking progression from introductory cigars without overwhelming strength.
