Nice mild maddie. Tons of smoke. Burns like crap (almost as bad as those 5 Vegas Gold maddies).

Had one, enjoyed it so I picked up a few more. I'm letting them age a bit though.

^I've smoked half a dozen over the past 6 months and every one has burned like crap. The one last night has been sitting in the low 60s for 6 months and it still burned horribly, requiring half a dozen touch ups and a couple relights. I won't be bidding on any more.

Wow I would think it would burn fine sitting in those conditions, unless it was rolled poorly. Haven't had these - had some exodus and vault and don't remember any burn issues, but thanks for the heads up. Doesn't sound like the taste is enough to forgive the burn issues.

I find these to be great smokes and I have never had any Torano cigar that burned bad.

That was my experience until these. Had a 1916 this morning, and it burned perfectly. BTW, all mine have been robs. I wonder if the problem is limited to this size?

Had the same problem with the Noventa Maddie Torp, but not the Noventa Natural. I did dry box 3 of them about 10 days ago and smoked one yesterday and it was noticeably better. My main humi is in the 60-65 range and this is the only cigar I've had to dry box in a long time. Also, I've smoked a lot of Torano over the years and this is the first one I remember burning badly.

PS. Sure do miss those Signature Perfectos. 😞
