Ok, so I get this PIF from Homie and it has all these high priced gars, but then there's this CT Nicaraguan Selection. I think, huh, guess he's getting rid of some of his cheapies. I had seen these around, and knew that they weren't the most celebrated of gars. So, I decide to give it a try last night, and boy was I pleasantly surprised! This cigar cut like butter, had great construction, has a perfect draw - a perfect bunch. The ash was tight and white and the flavor - well let me just say it is a spitting image of a bucanero classico. This thing was a classic nicaraguan - medium to full body, good steady flavor w/o being overpowering, developing a leathery and spicy flavor. I loved it and highly recommend it (esp. at the price)! Once again, Torano impresses me...

...shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....damn it, Ethan!

Hey Ethan,
Glad you liked it. I think the Nic selection, is awesome. One of my go to cigars.

what was that Sonny? I don't understand? OOOhhh, I get it now...you're upset because I told everyone what an AMAZING this cigar is and what a GREAT deal it is and now you're afraid EVERYONE will GO BID on these RIGHT now because they are SO GREAT.....I'm sorry, I sure hope no one goes and BIDS ON THESE!!!

Hey Ethan,
I haven't seen these up for bid, for some time now. I pick them up at my local. She keeps Toranos in stock, just for me.

oh, really? I was hoping I was going to keep Sonny from winning them...oh, well, I'll just pester him on the PIF....

...Ethan, is it you or coma, can't remember, but I think I may keep you from EVER winning another chisel here!!!!!!!!!grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

Homebrew was kind enough to introduce me to these........and they are a fantastic cigar IMHO.......and by the way his were well aged.......almost brown cello. Thanks again man........

I LOVE 'EM.

Don't mistaken this with El Cheapo. It is a nice smoke!!

The ToranoNic Selection is a great cigar. I like to smoke it on the golf couse. hat way I can enjoy something because my golf game sucks. Oh year buy the way Torano doesn't make any "Cheap, as in bad"cigars. 🙂

well said Hooko. 🙂

heh. it's a torañosaur invasion! 🙂

haven't had one of these yet. if it's the one i THINK it is, though, it's on tap for tonight. first smoke in two days, and i'm jonesin'! anyway, the one i'm looking at has a black band trimmed in red. is this it?

Sounds like a Toraño to me!

well, looks like the one i had was a dominican selection maddie -- not the nic selection.

i give 2 thumbs up to the dominican selction maddie, though. holy schmokes but this was one fine cigar!!

the red bands are the Nic selection. Tony, if you have not had one yet, I'll send ya a few robustos. It is the middle kid in the Torano Line....a good one, but not the main center of attention.

TR: i'm emailing you in a minute to maybe work something out. 🙂
