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
