I've never tried the gold, but I have one in the humidor. Box pressed (does the gold only come box pressed?) I'll try it this weekend.
I might like the Silver so much because it was the first cigar I ever smoked. I just love it.
As far as I know, yeah, they are all box-pressed. I am in the same boat, the Exodus Gold was the first really good cigar I ever smoked. I have been debating on picking up a 5er of the Silver, I really dig all the other Toranos I have had.
Well, Alien, I just smoked the Emerald you sent me. (Couldn't find the other one I had.) Pretty damn tasty. Had a nice chocolaty sweetness to it. I think you're going to enjoy them.
Yeah, the Emeralds are great, aren't they? I can't wait to get ahold of one of the Espressos. It is gonna be real hard to let it sit in the humi for any time. Oh well, I have three coming, so I guess two can age for a while, lol.
And I finished with a Montecristo Serie C robusto. It started well, then the flavor went a bit off. Seemed like maybe an age thing; I haven't had these very long. I've got 4 more, so I'll let 'em rest some more and hope for the best. If they don't improve, these will be the first Monte I've had that I didn't like.
I'll be starting a four day weekend at around 4:30 this afternoon and the weather is supposed to be in the 70's and 80's for the week so I will doing some serious smoking! haha Planning on having an ISOM Cohiba tomorrow with a buddy of mine who will be having an ISOM Monte. Not sure what else but we are planning on having a Herf-a-thon tomorrow starting with those and who knows where it will go from there! haha
Just finished my first Sol Cabano Cuban Cabinet---Wow what a great smoke, even after having to set it down a couple of times it was good. Really enjoyed the flavor, have 3 more resting , I just don't know how long I can let these set.

The Cuban Cab is a great smoke! That is one I will always be keeping on hand! I think I have 5 or 6 left. Awesome smoke!
I went home for lunch today and got an Acid. I have been craving one. They are an OK smoke. Not great. Plus I knew that by the time I got back to work I would only be about half done with it and won't feel bad if I have to put it down and then pick it back up and it sucks. I can throw it away and not really care. Not like it was a Shaggy or Hemingway. Then I would be upset!
OK---Was getting ready to light up my second smoke of the day , a Nub Cammie and really looking forward to it. I cut the end of the torp and guess what. Theres about a one inch long piece of what looks like red nylon fiber string !!! I will try to get a picture of this up on the forum tonight when I get home.....it is in there tight to, will not pull out by fingers ....I'm sure I could get a pair of pliers and pull it out but now i'm not sure what to do with it. I could take it back to the shop I got it from but I would think the guys that make these (Oliva) would WANT to know about something like that . Opinions and has anyone ever encountered anything like that before???

I saw something similar to this once on a website (maybe here) but I have never experienced it in person.
Today I had a Onyx Reserve and boy was it good. It was sweet with just a little spice on the back of my throat. But hte kicker was the smoke that was like velvet coating my tounge. I will be getting more of these.
