La Duena Toro Gordo No. 13
La Duena Toro Gordo No. 13
La Duena Toro Gordo No. 13 comes from a collaboration between Jaime Garcia and Pete Johnson, a project created to showcase the deep, naturally expressive character of Broadleaf and Nicaraguan tobaccos. Made in Nicaragua, this 6 x 56 box-pressed Toro Gordo uses a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, giving the cigar a darker profile without pushing it into harsh territory.
The blend is known for notes of sweet wood, leather, mocha, and tangy spice, delivered with a rich, steady character that suits smokers who enjoy Maduro cigars with depth and structure. Its broader 6 x 56 format offers a substantial session, generally lasting about 70 to 95 minutes at an unhurried pace, while the box-pressed shape adds an extra touch of comfort in hand.
La Duena has earned strong recognition for its flavor and craftsmanship, and the No. 13 remains a compelling choice for anyone drawn to Connecticut Broadleaf wrapped Nicaraguan cigars with layered sweetness, earth, and spice.
