Initial Thoughts:
I grabbed the Eiroa The First 20 Years Toro solely because of how much I enjoyed the CLE Prieto, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Whenever I like one cigar from a manufacturer or brand, I'm much more likely to try another one. That's why first impressions are so critical 😉
The Eiroa The First 20 Years Toro is a box-pressed toro packaged in a cream-colored paper. It was made to commemorate the 20 years that the Eiroa family has been in the cigar industry.
After punching the end, the draw was smooth, and I could taste hints of the same ginger that I remember so clearly from the Prieto. Additionally, there are flavors of spice and maybe sweet chocolate in the first third.

Final Thoughts:
The Eiroa The First 20 Years Toro was a very enjoyable smoke. The draw was perfect, the burn was almost perfect, but the flavors were just ok. Personally, I preferred the CLE Prieto, but these flavors might be exactly what you are looking for. However, a word of caution – if you don't like the flavor of ginger, you will likely not like this cigar.
At the end of the day, the Eiroa The First 20 Years Toro earns a CigarScore 4 – it's a good cigar, but I think there are better cigars out there that I'd prefer to enjoy for the money.
