Compare the 7-20-4 Hustler Gran Toro 6x58 and the 7-20-4 Original on wrapper, body, and size to pick the box that fits your smoking style.
Quick answer
Choose the 7-20-4 Hustler Gran Toro 6x58 if you want a large-ring cigar with a barber-pole wrapper and a creamier, medium-to-full profile; choose the 7-20-4 Original if you prefer a classic dark Brazilian Maduro wrapper with a fuller, earthy body in a traditional size.
Wrapper and blend: barber pole vs classic Maduro
The most visible difference is the wrapper. The Hustler Gran Toro uses alternating dark Brazilian and light Ecuadorian Connecticut leaves in a barber-pole style, while the Original wears a single dark Brazilian Mata Fina Maduro leaf. That choice affects both appearance and flavor: the barber pole adds a lighter, creamier counterpoint to the Hustler’s Nicaraguan long-fillers, whereas the Original’s Maduro wrapper reinforces its earthy, leathery core.
Neither cigar is mild. The Hustler is described as medium-to-full, and the Original as full-bodied. If you usually smoke in the evening or after a meal, either can work; if you are moving up from milder cigars, the Hustler’s creamier notes may be an easier transition.
Size and smoking time: 6x58 vs traditional formats
The Hustler Gran Toro is a 6x58 — a large ring gauge that holds more tobacco and tends to burn cooler and slower. The Original is offered in a traditional format, which generally means a smaller ring gauge and a shorter smoking session. The trade-off is time and draw: the 6x58 rewards a patient, even light and can last well over an hour, while the Original’s smaller size suits a shorter break.
If you are unsure about the Original’s exact dimensions, check the product page before ordering; the catalog does not list every size for that line.
Price and box value
Both come as a box of 20. At catalog prices, the Hustler Gran Toro is listed at USD 174.96 (compared with USD 243.00), and the Original at USD 118.26 (compared with USD 162.00). The Original costs less per cigar, which makes it a lower-risk box if you are trying the brand for the first time. The Hustler costs more per cigar but delivers a larger format and a more complex wrapper presentation.
Key trade-offs to weigh
- Flavor profile: Hustler: cream, spice, and depth from the barber-pole wrapper; Original: deep earthy tones, leather, and cedar from the Maduro leaf. If you prefer a creamier smoke, lean Hustler; if you want a darker, earthier profile, lean Original.
- Ring gauge and burn: The 6x58 Hustler burns cooler and slower but needs a steady light; the Original’s traditional size is quicker to light and finish. Pick the 6x58 only if you have 60–90 minutes to enjoy it.
- Cost per cigar: The Original box of 20 is listed at USD 118.26 versus USD 174.96 for the Hustler Gran Toro box of 20. The Original is the lower-cost way to try the brand; the Hustler is the upgrade for large-ring fans.
