Smoking a Torano 1916 Cameroon robusto. Love these things. Why did they stop making them? Anything similar in this price range? Medium, Cammie, toast/cedar/baking spices, and affordable?

These Victor Sinclair sticks have all had good construction and have smoked well. They're a good daily smoke. Catching a sale is just a bonus.

5 Vegas holds a special place in my heart. The torpedo was my first ever box purchase. It was around '98-'99. I smoked them faithfully for a year or so. I think I started my first pass on here with them. LOL. That's when the FOG's here started my education on hand rolled premium cigars. What a journey.

Multiple choice:
A. What thread?
B. Bite me!
C. DICK!

In all honesty, I hadn't looked at that thread very much (obviously), I did not know that it was common to put up a price, I just thought people posted their most recent dog-rocket.:rolleyes:
