Had my first one last night and that is one mighty fine smoke! Not as peppery and robust is the description says, but it is a great cigar on the medium side of the spectrum. Super draw and the construction is top notch.

Sonny

We could have the same humidor, as we agree on so many smokes! The Toranos are all great cigars.

These cigars suck! The last one I had was plugged and canoed and had an aroma like a used and then dried feminine product... No smoke, no flavor, no draw. Worse than a Frog or a Wolf. Run, save yourselves, forget about me.

Robby - I must agree with you...I find them deplorable...No taste - at all. They call it a sungrown wrap - the question is what type of excrement was it that they wrapped it in?

A repulsive smoke...

Sorry E, you're right. I was trying to come up with a description to fit the level of repulsion I experience from even the site of one of these dog rockets. Replace that with the smell of a toilet that's been pee’ed in and left for several days... (after a night of asparagus, garlic and onions... They’re not just merely bad, they’re really most sincerely bad. Don’t go there. Avoid these gars like a bad rash…

WORSE!! Do you know what a $hit slinger is? They pull them behind tractors and "sling" the material therein to fertilize the fields before planting? I've had the di-stinked privilege of filling one of those. Shoveling out a barn to do so. Well when I got through the first few layers? Down to the soupy stuff? That calls to mind the Exodus... If there's one cigar WORSE than the signature, that's it! Do youself a favor and do NOT bid on these!! EVER!!!!

C'mon Robby, stop beating around the bush and tell us how you REALLY feel about 'em. As a writer, I can only express admiration for your remarkable ability to create vivid images in your cigar reviews. Now, if I could just get them out of my mind!! LOL...

Ok, how I really feel about them? I go for them like Pamela after Tommy Lee on their honeymoon, with unabashed exuberance and reckless abandon. I lust after them like our former President after his Interns. These smokes are as fine as a spring morning with dew-covered magnolias and daffodils spreading their eager pedals to greet the warm morning sun (Haiku! Bless you!!) Your humidor is simply not complete without some (at least a 5 pack).

Whew! Sheesh Robby, I totally forgot I had bid on a 5 pk of Exodus. They arrived today along with my other winnings, whoo-hoo! I was starting to think I would have to pawn them off to someone...

Not many cigar makers whose construction is as meticulous as the Toranos, who also make cigars for CAO and others. The Exodus torpedo is one of the best looking cigars on the planet and a favorite of mine. For some reason the Sig doesnt do it for me, but thats just me. Most people cant get enuff of them. Lot of leg-pulling going on here, as in "Please don't outbid me on these!" lol

Torano, for me, is like Camacho. Never met one I didn't like. Never had a Torano that was poorly constructed, never regretted blazing one up.
