Got the Toros, my first few I had were Churchills, and I wanted to stick to the longer cigar, so I went above Robusto, but didn't want the time commitment for the Churchill, Toro was a happy medium.

Managed to find an unopened box of Tatuaje NHC Capa Especial...These are going away for a while

I'm with you Flounder, I like the Toro size best myself.

I used to smoke Churchills or double coronas exclusively. Now, since I found these great deals online, I am smoking more Toros and Robustos. I'm liking the Toros more and more.

The hard part while you're buying online too is that like for me, upgrading from a box of robustos to toros was $4. And from toro to churchill was another $4, that's 20 inches of cigar for only $4 more. So the value is there to buy the bigger sticks, it's hard not to sometimes.

Damn Brooks, great find. I got that email in the evening, decided to sleep on a 5'er or a box, and when I went to go buy them the next morning they were gone! Oh well

The problem I have, especially now that winter is hear is the smoke time. A robusto is about all I can stand before I freeze.

Is there any other reason you like the toro, or just because of the bigger size?

Personally I like my toros as they feel the most comfortable in my hand and burn for the amount of time I like to smoke a single cigar(1-1.5 hours generally). I'm not a fan of puffing on a stick for 2+ hours like I end up with most churchills and double coronas, and the same can be said about smaller sticks like coronas where I only get an hour tops of smoking time. That said, some sizes just taste the best for the stick, generally for me toros do the trick, but some times other sizes will pop up as better(Tat Blacks are best as the PLs IMO, for instance)

I agree, however with is being winter like Jimmy said Ido prefer a Corona this time of year, but if I am in a heated environment a Toro or Churchill is just fine, but I prefer the Toros
