The Gran Toro 56 may be the most complex of all the Sencillo Platinums. The peppery taste of the smaller Sencillo Platinum cigars is present for only the first inch or so, soon subsumed in hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, and other spices. Further down, one catches the distinctive bittersweet flavor of cocoa powder. The Gran Toro 56’s aroma recalls the experience of visiting a Middle Eastern spice merchant - it is fascinating and intricate, filled with too many scents to readily identify.
