Size: 6″ x 50
Vitola: Toro
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Sun Grown
Origin: Honduras
Age: 2 months
The Carlos Torano Virtuoso Toro is not a size I found on the website’s list of sizes, I think it’s unique to the sampler I received from CAO/Torano (thanks again guys!).
The Virtuoso is one of Torano’s newer lines and is certainly billed as their strongest [...]

Ah, the Carlos Torano Signature.  I’ve tried this cigar several times and I really want to like but I just haven’t been able to.  Will this Toro change my mind?

This cigar has a particularly oily reddish wrapper that is very firm to the touch.  [...]

Vitola: Toro
Wrapper: Honduran Criollo

The Carlos Torano Exodus Silver is a very interesting blend.  In fact I would go as far to say that there is not a cigar out there that tastes like this cigar. This blend is one of the more unique blends that I can recall.  Guys that [...]

Size: 6″ x 50
Vitola: Toro
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
Origin: Honduras
Age: 1 month
Thanks again to the folks at CAO/Carlos Torano for the opportunity to try their products.
The Casa Torano Maduro Toro is not as pretty as its Connecticut-wrapped brother. This is a rougher looking cigar; it has a crinkly veins dark black wrapper with some water spots.
It is [...]

Vitola: Toro
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut
Origin: Honduras
Age: Fresh
Thanks to the folks at CAO/Torano for letting me try some of their products.
The Casa Torano Toro is a very good looking cigar, darker than the normal Connecticut Shade wrapped cigar. This makes sense as the wrapper is grown in Ecuador and they cannot grow [...]

Size:  5 ¾” x 50
Vitola:  Perfecto
Wrapper:  Honduran Habano 2000 Maduro
Origin: Honduras
From the Vault:   No date given as this was pre-labeling.
This is an oddly thin box-pressed perfecto.  This is another of the CT line I just can’t get in to.
The burn is uneven as hell.  This is no shock as this is a Habano 2000 wrapper [...]
