It's by far my favorite Carlos Torano. I prefer the Robusto.

My favorite Torano as well. I enjoy the Robusto and Short Churchhill. Give them a year and they are Awesome.

Always enjoy these. I've always enjoyed the Torano line period. Nice Pics!

Thanks! Just quick snaps when I smoke, but it's good way to keep a record. Looking forward to their arrival tomorrow...

I love the 50 years, especially if you consider the price! From time to time you can get them on C-bid for ~$3 a stick.

Continued the experience with a few robustos, which I preferred as well. Biggest failing was inconsistent construction - one stick was overly tight in the draw. I like the look of the dark, oily wrapper When all was well draw-wise, it was rich, with a woodsy, peppery flavor melding into darker spice/coffee-esque tones. Cbid it is...

Get a few Gurkhas and you're almost guaranteed one.
