May well contribute more than little to your enjoyment of your smoke tonight.
And,that is as it should be.
Good news is indeed good news.

Have been thinking off and on about revisiting some of the Toranos,haven't had any in several years,
recall the Robustos I smoked, as being very consistant box after box. Quite sure Torano has put out some new lines fairly recently,
it's about time I picked a few up. Have a greater variety of brands ,sizes, more variety in the Wrappers, etc
now even tho I've but a limited number of cigars. As I recall the Torano Maduro and Natural Robustos were worlds apart, and good smokes.
Time for me to find one more cigar to cap off this evening.

Hemingway, Pimms, and a not-Hemingway. I dunno about the natural wrapped fuentes, they just don't cut it for me. The few I've had are lacking in flavour and have a musty tone. I am partial to the couple of maduros I've had though.

Hi Bob,

Can't offer too much insight about Torano. I've smoked the Colisseum (~50), Loyal (~7) and a few other sticks here and there (Exodus), all purchased in 2012/2013.

First batch of Colisseum were good, medium bodied, sweet with a touch of spice with acceptable and consistent construction so I bought several bundles a few months later that have been inferior and less consistent.

I bought the box of Loyal on price (< $30) but the 56 RG Robusto is thicker than I like. The Loyal that I smoked last night is the best that I've tried but the others have been all over the place.

I expect that the Colisseum (at least a partial 'exclusive' of CI) and Loyal are not of the quality of the Torano that you've enjoyed.

Pete
