American Viking Unkillable Oscuro Toro

Earlier this year, American Viking Cigars released their newest project, the American Viking Unkillable Oscuro! This is a stronger cigar than we have seen from the brand in the past! In the past, for the most part, American Viking Cigars were crafted with flavor first and strength foremost. While I think the American Viking Unkillable carries on the tradition, it definitely packs a punch much more intense than the previous blends! And I would have to say, for my palate, I think it is my favorite of the line! Let’s jump into it!

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ American Viking Unkillable Toro is a robust and full-flavored cigar made for smokers who love strength and, at the same time, do not want to lose balance. This 6 x 52 Toro delivers a heavy-hitting profile that is deeply rich, expressive, and extremely intense. American Viking Unkillable’s first full-strength maduro makes a point from the very first draw and constantly asserts its presence along the finish. Unkillable is probably the most intimate project of American Viking Cigars founder Tim Swanson. After many years, the blend has returned to the initial vision set in 2020, when the focus was on creating a darker, stronger maduro profile.

“This is what Dama Valada was originally meant to be back in 2020,” said Tim Swanson, founder of American Viking Cigars, in a press release. “At the time, we were chasing an oscuro fuerte blend, but the blender created a habano rosado that completely swept us off our feet. That cigar became something special—but the original goal stayed with us.”

The name itself is a nod to the tenacity of the cigar makers who, in an industry characterized by long timelines, risk, and relentless pressure, survive. The cigar is a tribute to those who endure, adapt, and continue to excel in their craft at the highest level. The blend comprises only Nicaraguan tobaccos, starting with a habano oscuro wrapper coming from the Jalapa Valley. The wrapper is combined with a binder from Estelí and fillers from Ometepe, Condega, Jalapa, and Estelí. This mixture produces a complex, evolving profile with notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, leather, and oak. The strength is evident; however, the cigar is elegant and sophisticated, offering complexity and balance throughout the smoke rather than overpowering the palate.

The American Viking Unkillable Toro is currently available at Oak Glen Tobacconist is the only other retailer other than Cigars Daily to carry it! Huge shoutout to Tim Swanson of Cigars Daily and the amazing friend and mentor he has been. The American Viking Unkillable offers excellent value for a full-strength Nicaraguan maduro and is a perfect choice for bold cigar lovers looking to add something different to their rotation. The Unkillable Cigar that you are looking for, which will bring you intensity, craftsmanship, and purpose, is the toro that must be there in your ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌humidor.

Trust me, this cigar coming out of the Plasencia factory is not one you want to miss!
