Review Notes: Picked up a single from my local B&M and let it rest for a few months. I was really excited about trying it. I think DW summed up some of my thoughts on this cigar in the preceding review. I also found unique flavors, most I liked. However, they became cloying in the second half. DW also correctly called this a sippin' cigar. The construction, draw and appearance were very good. I can easily recommend the Carlos Torano 1916 to others, but I'm not personally crazy about the flavor. I will try another one one day to make sure it's just not an aberration.

Review Notes: The funny thing is that I did not realize this was a Cameroon wrapper until I started the review... Aside from this, the cigar was good. The construction was decent, although there were a few minor burn issues that i had to touch up during the smoke. There was some unevenness. There was resistance when I drew, but nothing too bad. The flavors were unlike those that i had experienced. There was an almost malty, carob chip like taste and finish. It was nothing harsh or bitter. In this sense, it was somewhat unidimensional, but it did the job it needed to do. This was a sipping cigar, as smoking quickly would render it bitter. This was an interesting Cameroon cigar, and one that I will definitely remember.

Review Notes: A well built, good burning cigar. Good value. Flavor - middle of the road. Okay Cameroon taste but there was nothing there that stood out.

Review Notes: The whole Torano line is fantastic but this is my favorite. Everyone has there own preference on taste (what's good to me may not be good to you) but I can smoke this gar after any meal, with any drink at any time and it never fails to provide great flavor, beautiful smoke and a wonderful smell. I let'em sit in the humi for about 6 months in 70 deg & 68% hum. and there good to go. The longer they sit the smoother they get.

Review Notes: I've had two of these. I smoked the first after it had rested in my humidor for about three weeks or so. It was very nice. It surprised me, since I prefer maduros. After getting a box, I smoked one with only two days in the humi. I thought that since they had a humidifying packet in the box in which they came, they didn't need the rest. I was wrong. I wrestled with the cigar for an hour. I had to relight, as it seemed to require faster smoking than my CAO Brazilias (best cigar ever). When I got it right, the cigar was tasty, spicy, and great to smoke. However, there were harsh undertones I know go away with some time in the humi. Great after some rest!
