1.) step to the plate already and smoke a maduro. Take the panties off. 2.) Here is a great mild smoke to try; Carlos Turano Reserva Selecta. Take the label off and looks identical to an ASHTON Cab. Wonderfully made. Taste is similiar to an Astral but smoother. Could use time in the box, but finishes cool and sweet right own to the nub. I was sceptic at first but because of my open minded nature, gave it a fair chance. Just like CAYMAN. I'm sure you guys will like.

Sorry to differ Wany.....Toranos are complete dogrockets (IMHO)...Haven't had a good one yet..Makes my Don Tomases look like Opus...Very short finish..kind of bland..Not worth more than a buck each

If it tastes anything like an Astral, I'd rather light up my nail clippings than smoke those...

You know, one of the first bundles I ever bought was a bundle of Havana Cools which are apparently made by the Carlos Torano folks. I actually enjoyed these more than the Toranos. I believe they are actually mixed or short filler but definately more uumph!

I enjoy the Toranos. I just won a 5 of the Reserve and will try them and report back. I might even open a new thread to do so. Just got the Virtuosos too.....the yellowest cello in my 'dor. Another light triumph by 'los Toranos.

Unclebill, I too recently won a 5-pack of Virtuosos, which i bid on 'cos I liked the Reservas. Virtuoso turned out to be quite a decent mild to medium smoke. Very consintant, nice draw and very even burn. Cheap and recomendable.

From the picture board I see you got a haircut! Suggestion: why not go public with the fact that you are a cigar smoker? I think it would be a big boost for the rest of us. Who cares about what the fans think? Is should be all about the music anyway right?
