Carlos Torano Noventa 90. In a momentary lapse of judgment, I gave some small credence to the ad copy, “The ultra-premium Torano Noventa has been off the market for a while now. It was always intended as a one-time release, and all the cigars were supposedly sold out. But a little while back, Charlie Torano let slip that he still had some boxes remaining. I played it cool, acted indifferent, then made a half-serious low-ball offer on the whole lot. Somehow, he accepted. And now I’m passing along the savings....well over $200 off per box.”
I know I know, but I bought a box anyway & let ‘em sit. What an absolute piece of sh*t. I was incredulous at how bad this cigar tasted. I kept trying them every once in a while over a period of months, thinking “That was SO disgusting; it had to be an isolated anomaly! Surely a company with any semblance of pride wouldn’t release something this awful under the banner of a 90-Year anniversary?!” No matter how many times I tried, I could never get past the first few puffs, and then I’d angrily throw it down in disgust. These were so offensively bad. They tasted like newspaper, soaked in ammonia, then left to dry in a litter box. I finally put the rest of them, box and all, in my fire pit...even burning in a campfire they were bad.
