Smoked my first one last night and was not impressed. It had an interesting taste the first third then sort of went bland with no finish. I have had other Cammies that really kicked A***. Anyone else not impressed with the Torano. H Upmann Vintage Cameroon much better.

Glad I only have a 5 pack.

I bought a box of the robustos & have had a lot of burn problems. It is a good cigar, but I agree, there are better.

Yep--for a cigar by Torano there was a real burn problem--maybe a year in a Humi will help.

I have a box (Robustos) that was sent to me and my shipmates by Frankie Santos, and they have all been great! I haven't had any burn problems, and none of my buddies has complained either!

I have smoked several boxes in various sizes and enjoyed every single one of them. Never experienced a burn problem. One of my favorite cigars.

Well, since there are God knows how many rollers in the production process, maybe fishbopper & I had some bad luck.

Hat makes a good point, with so many rollers it has to be difficult to be consistant 100% of the time.

Yep, they are terrible cigars.

Send them to me and I'll make sure they are properly incinerated. LOL!

I agree with fishbopper. I got a five pack of robustos and have had three over the past four months. I also find them flavorless, with no finish. Maybe it is best to say they are too mild for my tastes. However, the Torano Tributes are fantastic cigars. I am on my second box and considering buying a couple more before they are out of production or change the blend. A real winner in my book!

I've loved every single one I've had. The one's I'm smoking now have been in my cooler for several months and the flavor is awesome. Never any burn problems at all. I have learned the hard way that I don't smoke new cigars. For some reason, once they aclimate to my cooler / humi, they all smoke so much better.

I'm with Deriffe on the 1916s ...

But, as I've said before, cucumbers are absolute proof that we don't all taste things the same way ... ever wonder if there's a similar diparity among us in how we visulize color? ...

Count me as a "nay" vote. I don't care for them at all.

Not a Cameroon fan to begin with.

I have sampled many a Torano and the only one I care for is the Sig.
