Has anyone had both? I have seen some reviews on both and a few splits but was wondering which y'all liked best.

That's a shame. Was only able to order the toro.

Had both, Robby has more strength but burned too quick for me.
Toro has a smoother body with equal kick and spice but with better burn time!
Just my .02 cents

I typically Robustos better in about everything but the Churchill is the best of the three. Just got a toro box and they aren't anywhere near as good as the Churchies.

The toro held me over and I was more satisfied than the Robbie but I'm finding myself more and more gearing towards the shorter and/or slimmer sticks with the heat. If I'm inside it doesn't matter. I haven't had the church but that's all I'm seeing online. My shpo has rob and toro and next time I run through I'm picking up more of both. I'll ship you some so you can try em

I preferred the toro. The sample size is small though. 2 of each

finishing up a toro right now. WOW, this cigar is amazing. Box worthy for sure. It may very well be the best cigar I have smoked this year. Burn was flawless and had the smoke output like a DE. Taste where hard to put my finger on. Smoked it while drinking my morning coffee. I put the stick down for a min to handle my morning business (we all know what nicotine and coffee do to you =)). When I came back (after washing my hands of course) the stick was still burning and taste had moved to a creamy note. If you get a change at least but one or two. Have a box of robo that will be in tomorrow. Looking forward to trying them also.

I found the flavor changes to be the best feature. I found them more pronounced in the robo but was more satisfied with the toro.

I have truly enjoyed these cigars and I agree that they have probably been my favorite new cigar so far this year also. I find this smoke to be very satisfying, it's like a full meal. I most often smoke the toro.

I have a box of churchills and 10 robustas reserved @ my favorite B&M In MI. And will be parting with (10) churchills and five of the robustas if anyone is interested PM me for details. Will probably be headed back up there in a couple weeks to get them.
