Conviction is a limited, collector‑minded toro boxed in a firm press and built around a tercios‑treated San Andrés wrapper and mostly 2014 Nicaraguan filler. The tercios aging and box‑press produce a composed, slightly drier smoke with cinnamon‑spice and espresso notes up front, cedar and coffee through the midpalate, and restrained sweetness—caramel or dark chocolate—later on. Strength and presence sit at medium‑plus; the profile emphasizes tobacco weight and polish rather than raw power. Rolled in small teams and offered in numbered batches, Conviction reads like a focused, aged Maduro for smokers who appreciate deliberate, small‑batch choices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Conviction pairs a tercios‑aged Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper with Nicaraguan binder(s) and a mostly Nicaraguan long‑filler blend drawn largely from the 2014 harvest. The tercios (terciario) fermentation of the wrapper and the use of older filler leaf aim to deepen cocoa/espresso and caramel notes while keeping the profile tobacco‑forward and refined.
