Storage Instructions
For the Undercrown Gran Toro Maduro (25) store your cigars in a well maintained humidor to preserve flavor and appearance. Aim for a relative humidity of 68% to 70% and a temperature between 65ºF and 70ºF (18ºC to 21ºC). Use a quality digital hygrometer to monitor conditions and keep the humidor lined with Spanish cedar when possible. Because the Undercrown Gran Toro Maduro features a rich Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper and Nicaraguan blend, allow the cigar to rest in its box or on a cedar shelf to maintain the oily wrapper and balanced burn. Use distilled water or a propylene glycol solution in your humidification system to avoid mineral buildup. Keep the humidor away from direct sunlight and strong odors and avoid storing at temperatures above 70ºF to reduce the risk of tobacco beetles.
Care Tips
Handle the Undercrown Gran Toro Maduro (25) gently by the foot or band to avoid scuffing the delicate Maduro leaf. Do not squeeze or roll the cigar between your fingers as that can damage the wrapper and affect the draw. After shipping or a change in environment let the cigars acclimate in your humidor for one to two weeks before lighting one. If you prefer a deeper, more rounded profile consider aging these cigars for six months to a year or longer while maintaining stable humidity and temperature. Rotate boxes occasionally to ensure even humidity exposure and inspect for any signs of excess moisture or mold. The dark Maduro wrapper often shows a natural oily sheen and small veins, which are normal and contribute to the flavor. When transporting, use a travel humidor or cedar sleeve to protect the wrapper and preserve humidity. With proper care the Undercrown Gran Toro Maduro (25) will reward you with consistent construction and rich flavor over time.

The Gran Toro format is designed for a long steady burn that showcases the blend from first light to finish. Enthusiasts appreciate the line for its combination of careful blending and reliable consistency from box to box.
Tasting Notes
The Undercrown Gran Toro Maduro (25) presents a sumptuous, medium‑to‑full bodied profile that unfolds like a well‑crafted dessert. Initial draws offer deep, bittersweet cocoa and espresso, tempered by rich molasses sweetness from the Maduro wrapper, while mid‑palate notes of toasted cedar, leather and roasted nuts add structure. A gentle black pepper spice and hints of cinnamon linger on the retrohale, giving the smoke a lively, sophisticated edge. The finish is long and velvety, with earthy undertones and a faint dark fruit aroma that invites another slow draw.
Pairing Suggestions
1) Aged Caribbean rum, its caramel, vanilla and toasted sugar notes echo the cigar’s molasses and cocoa, creating a harmonious, luxurious balance. 2) Espresso or ristretto, the concentrated, roasted coffee flavors enhance the cigar’s espresso and dark chocolate character while cutting through its richness for a clean, invigorating contrast. 3) 70%+ dark chocolate or a salted dark chocolate square, the intense cocoa bitterness and subtle salt elevate the Maduro’s chocolate and leather nuances, amplifying the cigar’s velvety finish.
