El Septimo - Empress Sheba Toro

El Septimo Empress Sheba Toro

The El Septimo Empress Sheba Toro is a refined evolution of one of the brand’s most celebrated cigars, reimagined in a luxurious Toro format to deliver enhanced balance, depth, and complexity. Crafted as a tribute to the legacy of the original Empress Sheba, this elevated vitola showcases even rarer, meticulously aged tobaccos, creating a richer and more sophisticated smoking experience.

Handmade in Costa Rica, where El Septimo cigars are produced using traditional methods and long-aged tobaccos, this cigar reflects the brand’s commitment to precision, luxury, and uncompromising quality.

A Refined Toro Experience

The Toro size allows the blend to fully open and evolve, delivering a longer, smoother progression of flavors. Each draw reveals a harmonious fusion of bold Maduro-style intensity layered with exotic African spices, white pepper, and subtle earthy sweetness.

This format enhances the balance of the blend, transforming a powerful profile into a more controlled, elegant, and refined experience suitable for seasoned cigar enthusiasts and luxury collectors alike.

The Smoking Experience

The cigar opens with a dense, velvety smoke delivering notes of white pepper, dark cocoa, and natural sweetness. As the experience develops, the profile deepens into layers of black coffee, toasted oak, and exotic spice, offering a rich and evolving complexity.

Midway through, the Toro format reveals its true strength — a balanced and controlled progression that highlights clarity in each flavor note. In the final third, the cigar builds intensity with deeper earth tones, bold spice, and a smooth, lingering finish that remains refined rather than overpowering.

This is a cigar designed not just to be smoked, but to be experienced — a powerful yet polished expression of El Septimo’s blending mastery.
