This is my second Falto I smoked and I thought this to be very good. I got what I kind expected with this. Dark chocolate, coffee and some earthiness with this. There was a slight spice to it in the form of white pepper. The construction was solid… did have to touch up once. Strength I would put at medium + to full with the last third being at full. Overall a good smoking experience. At a $6 price point it’s an incredible value to smoke this for about an hour and 20-30 minutes.

Similar to the toro this was better built. Good burn, good draw, lots of smoke. This one was easily the strongest of the Falto to me. Lots of spice that didnt immediately kick me in the teeth, but slowly built up over time. Lots of earthiness in this one too but there was also some nice dark coffee, almost a chicory flavor together.
