The Keg comes in one barrel shaped container in 3 different quantities and sizes, a 30 count Lonsdale , a 21 count Toro and a 16 count Gordo. At the store we stock the Toro size and that's what I'm reviewing today.
This cigar comes in a dark wrapper with consistent quality, none are ugly or have obnoxious veins. This cigar also comes in a satisfying tightness, none of them are squishy and none of them are rolled too tight to light properly. Lighting this cigar up is no task and it starts with a good open draw for a Toro.
Flavor wise I say this cigar offers a satisfying medium body from the initial light that evolves into a complex full flavor. What impresses me most about this cigar is how it delivers a nice full flavor without bite or a harsh sensation on the palate. I smoked this at the store so I didn't have an Irish Beer to pair it with, however I agree with Quesada's recommendation of a Stout to pair with this. The last time I had one of these it was with a Lagunitas Cappuchino Stout. The two balanced really well together, I'm not a Stout fan at all but this cigar works well with a Stout beer and leaves a nice long lasting flavor.
This Cigar has a nice finish that isn't as strong as some Maduro wrappers, but isn't wimpy. I'm a fan of Quesada's work and I like how they make full bodied cigars that are smoother than you would think for a dark wrapper. I'm not going to give point reviews like the magazines do, my reviews are going to end simply with my recommendations. I recommend this cigar to anybody who is a fan of full bodied Nicaraguan cigars and to anybody whose St. Patrick's day festivities include cigars.
