Review Notes:
Nice loking cigar. Toothy and oily wrapper. Nice and dark. Started off with straight forward tobacco and leather. Cocoa flavors came and went throughout. Nice and strong with moderate to long finish. Nice price and highly recommended. This was my first one and I can't wait to try the other after a month or so in the humi.

Review Notes:
I found a good 5-pack deal on this after trying the torpedo which I liked. I felt the robusto was not as good... less sweet n tasty. Predominantly earthy with a slightly expresso flavor and definately a strong spicy taste. The middle didn't develp as nicely as the torpedo, but it is constucted well and burned without complaints. Give it a try

Review Notes:
This is one of Torano's more stronger cigars, but even given that it isn't all that strong. I noticed after trying almost all the Toranos that they all sort of have that sugary almost like "candy" taste to them. Not that this is bad, but some of these cigars almost taste like they're borderline flavored (Even though they're not), so take that into account if you don't like sugary-tasting cigars.
The virtuoso has a lot of a chocolate and coffee taste to it, mixed with sugar and a little spice. The wrapper is a dark and somewhat stingy on the mouth. This is a decent tasting cigar, but not anything I would go nuts over. I tend to like Nicaraguan puros of which this cigar couldn't be farther from. It just always seems to me something is missing from all the Toranos, but I can't figure out what it is. Maybe it's the sugar taste, I don't know.
Burn and construction are typical Torano which is very good. Draw is very tight. Overall an OK cigar, worth trying by anyone.

Review Notes:
This is a nice stick. Nothing great mid-full in strenght and fairly complex. It's the strongest Torano the i've smoked. Outstanding construction with a perfect burn. it has a lovely white ash that holds very well too. Rich and taste.

Review Notes:
A pleasant medium bodied cigar. A nice pre light aroma, and even burn throughout. It had an oily wrapper with minimal veins. It tasted great, not harsh, smooth, medium bodied, getting a bit fuller towards the nub. I would recommend this cigar. I was happy with it and even happier that i got 5 for 13 bucks at auction, oh yeah babe. A well blended cigar from Torano, probably the best Torano I've smoked, up there with the Signature perfecto, even better. With new years coming up it should fall into the new years' tasting along with the gurkha regent torpedo, fonseca 5-50 (for the newbie in the group) indian tabac classic boxer, patel 1990 robusto, pueblo dominicano II, puros indios viejo 1999 robusto, and many more. Happy New Year my fellow "brothers of the leaf!"
