I have tried all of he Torano sticks...and by far the Signature is my favorite....so good i bought a box of the Toro size. All also dig the Torano 1916 Cameroon.
Nobody has mentioned the Casa Toraño yet (edit: ok Tony did, but I'm going to anyway), I thought that was a very good mild cigar...easily one of the most full flavored mild cigars I've had yet. I also really enjoyed the Exodus Gold quite a bit, reminds me somewhat of the Gurkha Regent in flavor.
I've had the 1916, couple of them actually. One of them had a few months of age on it, and the other I smoked the night I bought it. I would have to say the cigar that was aged was a totally different smoke than the other one. It had a great, creamy flavor to it.
I concur, the Signature is a great smoke. I've never had a bad cigar from Torano. The first 'real' cigar I ever had was the Casa Torano. For awhile, I only smoked blends from the Torano family, because it's really all I knew.
Torano is what got me into cigars in the first place. The cigar that did it was a Reserve Select. One often overlooked cigar by Torano that i believe is their best ever is the Torano Tribute. They made these in 2003/2004 and recently in 2008. They are limited, but are probably one of the best cigars i have ever had. I keep several boxes of these in my humidor and they age nicely. If you can still find them, try to pick up a Tribute. When i don't want to eat up my inventory and i feel like a Torano, i stick with the Virtuoso. I find it similar to the Rocky Patel Edge Maduro.
I am a huge Torano fan. The Exodus gold has been one of my favorites for ten years. I enjoyed the Exodus 50th as well. The Signature was very smooth, but medium bodied IMHO.
I would have to agree with everyone here, Torano makes a fine smoke and have yet to have one let me down. Now that I have been thinking of the topic time to enjoy one, its been too long.
