Nova Platinum Batch Toro Nicaragua Review
This 6×54 Nicaraguan toro leans spice-forward out of the gate with black pepper and vegetal notes before evolving into a creamy, buttery midsection. Strength builds steadily into the final third with wood and deeper tobacco tones.
Clean finish. Strong presence. Best enjoyed after dinner.
Final Score: 8.6/10

The Romeo y Julieta 150th Anniversary Balconet (Toro 6×54) is a beautifully constructed celebratory cigar boasting premium tobaccos from AJ Fernandez, Plasencia, and others. While it offers impressive smoke output, rich early transitions, and refined sweetness, its loose draw and warm smoke raise questions about value. At $25 a stick, it’s an elegant but debatable tribute to the brand’s legacy. Worth trying—but not a humidor staple.
