Carlos Torano Signature Toro

kaelaria · June 2011

This dark black 6×50 maduro stick features small veins, tight seams, minor imperfections such as outer cracks and holes, a firm, lumpy pack, rough paper texture, slight oil sheen and mild manure aroma. First light reveals a very snug draw putting off an ok amount of smoke with mild bodied flavors of a slightly sweet earth with a short clean finish. The first third brings the body up to medium and improves the draw, producing much better amounts of smoke. Flavors are a wet earth with a bit of sweetness like a butterscotch, which quickly gives way to a black pepper taste on the longer finish. 40 minutes in at the 1/2 way point, draw had opened up to normal, burn was great, and body was up to medium-full. Flavors had dropped the sweetness, just going to a deep creamy and peppery earth with a very oily mouthfeel. Ending at 1:15 min the last third showed no further changes. http://cigarobsession.com/2011/06/28/carlos-torano-signature-toro-cigar-review/

Enjoy the pics as always. I love this cigar. Really what I look for as a maduro taste, it burns and draws great, & is well constructed, except for that one in the pic. Mine are all flawless wrappers. The kicker is the price point, I scored a 10 pack of torpedos for less than $3 a stick, and regular box prices online aren't much higher than that. Definitely recommend trying this stick if you enjoy maduros.

I love these, too. Wish they were a CCOM option, they weren't when last I checked. Hmm, let me check now....nope, not there.

I do love a good maduro so maybe I will have to give these a shot. They certainly look good.

I really dig these too, and agree totally about the price point too. You can get them pretty regularly for around $3 a stick, at that price they simply can't be beat.
