After trying 4 different Torano lines I was about too give it up...then I smoke this Signiture robusto. Oh yea baby, que rico como el diablo. Suddenly, my study break transformed into a weekend on Tahiti; hula girls were whirling around me, I was holding a drink with an unbrella in it. This little robusto has it all going on, looks, flavor...ummmmm, the wrapper was burning down with a black oily fringe. I immediately search the five packs, there they were...overbid for above retail, so I guess it's not just me. At $70 a box of 25 it won't be hard to figure out what to buy myself for Christmas.

I have 3 boxes of Toros resting in my igloo. This is my #1 favorite affordable smoke! I hear the perfectos are fantastic, but haven't tried them yet. The problem I had with the robusto is I almost cried when it was done and wanted more. Toros seem perfect for me.

I love this cigar!!!!

The 4 CTs I tried previously were the tribute 2003 natural, the exodus 1959 dark natural, the exodus 1959 silver, and casa torano.

I haven't tried the tribute yet, but I want to. I am with you on the Exodus line though. (I don't like them). You have to try the 1916 Cameroon though. This is my favorite CT. The Signature probably follows that one.

Shaff,

E-mail me @ paedopongid at aol dot com and I might be able to fix you up with a tribute. I have a 1916 but haven't tried it yet.

Toraño Sigs, particularly the toros and torps, are my favorite smoke ... the 1916 for me, is almost on a par with them ...

Primate, if we could figure and time and place to get together in the week ahead, I'd supply the cure for your never having smoked a 1916 ...

It'd be great to get together for a smoke and drink SteveS, but touch base with me after the middle of December when I'm done with finals. I have family junk over Thanksgiving. I found a place on the web that sounds interesting. Maybe you know of this place:

Look on this site for The Humboldt Tobacco Co.: 78 E. 21st Ave. (1 block east of El Camino Real), in San Mateo near the race track. Might be worth a shot.

I saw that too CP, I got knocked out of the bidding at $13, cheap bastage that I am, and figure I'll return to fight another day. Like SteveS, these are my favorite Toranos, but also like the Cammies and the Exodus Silvers. Haven't tried the Tribute or the Casa yet.

The Sigs are yummy and yes the perfecto is like freakin candy. I have tried the Tribute and it is a nice smoke. The 2004 Tribute Maduro, now thats a cigar. I can't get enough of those.

I agree that the 2004 Tribute Maddie is the best cigar I've had in a long time. The Toraño Signatures and 1916's are my everday go to smokes.

We miss you at the Toraño board SteveS. 🙂

Sigs are the only Torano I like.

I personally love almost everything Torano puts out. I can see how many of you only like the sig though. It's quite unique and like nothing else Torano has made.

Hey Rob,

wait till you try the Sig. perfecto.

It is truly my favorite Torano, including the tribute.

Later
