Pappy Van Winkle Barrel Fermented Toro is a 6 x 52 premium cigar created through the collaboration between Drew Estate and Pappy & Company. Handmade in Nicaragua, this distinctive Toro features Kentucky fire-cured tobacco that undergoes a specialized fermentation process inside retired Pappy Van Winkle bourbon barrels.
The cigar uses barrel-fermented Kentucky fire-cured tobacco as a dark tapa negra over a Mexican San Andres base wrapper. A Nicaraguan binder surrounds long-filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and Kentucky, creating a medium-bodied profile with the smoky, charred character that distinguishes the Pappy Van Winkle Barrel Fermented collection.
