In Freemasonry, the Grand Architect of the Universe is a neutral term for a Supreme Being or divine creator. The term draws from symbolic connections to the idea of a divine artisan who created the universe. This Toro delivers a complex and balanced smoke throughout.
The cigar opens with nuts, leather, and herbs. Nuts and leather are the primary flavors, with wood notes in the background. A sour cream note is also perceptible, along with some citrus nuances. A cinnamon spice is added in the second half.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
