Lovely, Wonderful Lunchtime Smoke

[Newfie]

I had a Carlos Torano Signature Series Perfecto.

I ended up with a couple of these over the winter in blind trades or B/Day packages or sumpin. I had my first one today. What a friggin' awesome smoke for the middle of the day.

Absolutely perfect razor sharp burn, full of flavour, not too strong, but not real mild either. Draw was a tad tight for my preferences, but overall, ................... let's just say I gotta get me a box of these!!!

There's been several threads about short smokes, and this one may rival the SS for top of the list!!!

Torano has a number of cigars in thier stable that are fantastic and I must say that the consistency of each blend has been top notch. Carlos and Charlie are also very personable and approachable if you ever get the chance to meet them.

Actually, I was going to add that I haven't met a smoke made by C. T. that I didn't like. Especially the Virtuoso series.

And I actually like the Virtuoso. A lot of people think the Torano line is junk, I'm not so sure, but at the same time I'm not runnin' out to stock up on any of it.

I also loved the signature for a morning/mid day. I hated the Virtuoso but the sig was great.

Really? May I ask what you smoked?

Which one(s) did you smoke?? I bought 1/2 box of the Crescendo's from Sarge on CS when I first joined and I have to get a box sometime. Definately top 10 for me.

I have smoked one of the noventa line and enjoyed it. That was the only torano I have liked.

What I don't understand is the size of the Torano Signature Perfecto is short like a Robusto or Corona yet their pricing at most of the on-line Internet store cost as much as a box of the long Churchill or the Torpedo size. What gives ? HYPE, DEMAND, or just plain-silly because it is hard to make a tapered-end cigar... I still don't get it !

I purchased one of these while in flordia and loved it. It had one of the sharpest, nicest burns ive ever seen and also had a perfect construction. Im deff going to have to get a couple more.

That's it right there, IMO.

The Signature is the only Torano that I smoke on a regular basis. I love these things!

There are two good reasons for this. Primarily, it's so much better than any of the other vitolas of the blend. They are also rolled by the best rollers because they are the best of the line. You can find them at a good price if you google, though.
