The Archetype Initiation Toro, one of the lines of the Archetype brand (owned by Ventura Cigars), is made at the Drew Estate factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. The tobaccos used to make this cigar come from a Habano-seed wrapper, grown in Ecuador, while binder and filler are all Nicaraguan tobaccos.
The cigar is wrapped in a bright Colorado wrapper with brown reflections. To the touch, it is smooth with small noticeable veins. The filling is uniform, and the overall quality is great.
