I'm going to fire up a Vault Robusto tonight after work. Looking forward to checking it out.

Anybody have some opinions on them?



"Introducing, the next big thing from the Torano family. Carlos Torano Vault: a blend secured by the Torano family for a full decade....known around the factory as Liga A-008. The blend is a favorite among the family and factory, but was never released. Reason being, the Torano crew had plans to make it a bit more powerful. To do this, long-leaf tobaccos were harvested from the volcanic soils of Ometepe, an island off the coast of Nicaragua. These bold leaves, when combined with dark and oily Nicaraguan Colorado wrapper, created a full-bodied, full-flavored cigar teeming with charisma and character. Rich tobacco nuances mingle with satisfying spices throughout the burn, while a raw earthiness rounds out the bouquet. Bold yet balanced, in true Torano form....Vault is a must-try handmade worthy of your attention."

Worth about a buck.

Someone sent me one.....now I want to smoke it.

It's worth trying, who knows, it may be in your wheelhouse. I had one from a sampler, but it was the 6x60, which is a little bigger than I prefer, but OK smoke.

Oh.. Almost forgot. I also grabbed up an Ave Maria Crusader for tonight. Tomorrow, Thursday, is one of my days off this week.

I don't have much luck with Torano stuff.

My wife purchased one for me for my birthday last month, with the assistance of the guys at my favorite B&M, Stogies On Grand (St. Paul). She purchased three: Vault, Camacho Blackout, and Gurkha Cellar Reserve. Of those three, the Vault was my favorite. Unfortunately, I don't know whether it was black Box or Red (if there's a difference or what that means).

I can't recall specific flavor notes, but I know it was rich, complex, not overpowering in nice strength, constructed very well, and had lots of smoke.

The Blackout was good too, but not as enjoyable as the Vault.

I hope this helps.

I expect the Vault and/or the Blackout to make CA's top 25. We'll find out on Friday.

Just bought a Blackout from my B&M yesterday. Found a box of older triple mads that were forgotten about on the top shelf and grabbed a couple of those, too.

a few years back I tried a few......nothing terrible.....but none of them made me want more...
maybe I shouldn't give up on a line so quickly?.....but there's just too many cigars.....

All my Toranos came from CBID, where strangely they are sometimes called Carlos Torano and other times Torano. The Vault is one of the 4 or 5 I have tried and I would not buy them again.

The Torano 1950 Exodus 50 Years version is very good.

That's one of the ones I tried and I did not find it to be any better than others. I may still have one or two and will undoubtedly smoke them next year with some age on them.

So... I fired up the Vault last night. At first I only got the sense that it was a power smoke, but it didn't seem to have a lot of flavor. However, after a while it did get a lot tastier, but nothing special... to me. I didn't mind smoking it.

The Ave Maria Crusader, on the other hand, was tasty right off the bat and strong. Unfortunately, at about the halfway mark I had to toss it. It just became too hot and harsh.

These have only been in the humidor for about a week. I'll give then some time to rest up and then see what happens.
