Any Good Torano Cigars???

[T.G]

Exodus '59 Gold is like smoking a dark chocolate bar.
Virtuoso is good, but odd. The flavor profile is dominated by oak. Yeah, oak.
Noventa '90, been a long time since I've had one of these, but opus x-ish comes to mind.

Can't comment too much on the others, a few I've had, some I haven't, don't really remember all of them at this point.

The first Torano cigar, a Virtuoso, traumatized me and not tried one since.

Buying boxes based upon other's opinions and to justify buying a cooler is just plain silly.

Buy singles or fivers to try. And then formulate your own opinions.

If you continue to buy boxes in this manner you will end up with a lot of sale threads or cigars for the troops.

I'm mostly buying boxes of cigars I've already had and liked a lot to increase my collection/habit. Just was wondering about the Toranos because they're always so cheap. Thanks for your concern though.

The Exodus 89 is a good medium smoke. Buy a sampler and try several different ones!

I cannot concur more heartily with a post. This is absolutely true. When you buy a box, make sure it is a cigar you know that you like.

You're going to end up with a pile of boxes in a few months. You're right its your money. But tastes will change and without a doubt a cigar you like today will be sitting in your cooler gathering dust in a year. But no doubt the troop supporters will be very happy.

So basically you're just against buying boxes in general?

I think what Bob is trying to say is that you should buy boxes based on what you like, not blindly based on what someone else likes or recommends. If someone likes and recommends a cigar, and it sounds interesting to you, don't buy a box, start with a few singles at your B&M or a 5'er. Blindly committing to a whole box could easily leave you with a lot of cigars that you don't like enough to keep.

Not at all. I have 75-100 boxes in my coolers and Vinotemps. What I said was buying boxes based upon another smokers tastes or to fill a cooler is not a good idea. You will find countless threads here from people whose tastes have changed over the course of a year or so and have boxes to sell.

If you've only been back in the "game" for six months after taking five years off, there are hundreds of new blends to try.

Ha! Looks like I made the right choice. I've had a few of those Perdomo 10th anny maduros I got and liked them a lot and couldn't beat the price. Thanks for the info on the Toranos though fellas!
