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...

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.

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. 🙂

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.
