Any Other Complaints?

After they've aged 6mos to a year, I think they actually become decent..
Bad news for me -- I just ordered a box of the torps (I think) to try out. Never had a bad Torano, so I thought I couldn't go wrong. Sounds like I thought wrong.

Neither did I, until I fell for the hype on these pieces of crap. I wouldn't be surprised if someone bought license to the label, and Torano doesn't even make them. I thought the naturals where really bad until I tried a Maduro someone (name withheld for their protection) sent me. The maduros are even worse then the naturals. Could only get ½" in, before I tossed it.
Like I said, noventas are decent if they've rested awhile. Not great, but acceptable..
and I mean from like 5 or 6 years ago old
Every one I have had was poor, but ai never had "the paper" come loose on a cigar. Come to think of it I don't recall smoking cigars with bleached pulp wrappers
Pretty sure CI bought the brand.

I cut the guy some slack since it was his first post. Don't want him going back into hiding.
Thought I remember someone (not CI) bought the brand a couple of years ago, the quality dived and Tornao got ticked off his name was being associated with a crappy product. Then read they were in the process of acquiring the company back. Have not heard anything in a while so not sure of the current status. Woul not waste my time with the Noventa without at least a year of box time.

By the way they sold out to CAO a while back, and CAO recently sold out to you know who.
It's a yard gar. They only cost like a buck a piece.. you get what you pay for.

Over 2 years in the box.

(Check out the date on post #37.
The Vaults give off an unusual, but pleasant, faint scent of Tide laundry detergent.
the 5"x50, 6"x52, and 6.5"x54 are "REAL" Noventa smokes rolled a while back in boxes of 25. They are a good Habano smoke. The 6"x60 Perfecto is scrap rolled recently, by Torano I guess, just to sell here. Same with the new sizes of La Perla Habana Rojo and Morado. All dogs compared to the Rojo/Morado Robusto, Toro and Belicoso, which were hardly average to begin with.
The Noventa Maduro Torpedo was one of the WORST smokes I ever had. Burned horrible with rotten draw and less then average flavor. You can't roll an Anniversary line like the Noventa years ago and all of a sudden come out with new sizes and in bundles to boot. [frypan]
I have no idea what happened/when it happened, but the product changed drastically. I nabbed some when they started to come up in the bid lists...and they came nowhere NEAR the smoking experience of the first 2 boxes I bought back in the day.
