Review Notes: My first Torano. I liked the construction and appearance of the cigar. The box press was nice and the veins were thin. It was very well constructed creating an easy draw with a lot of smoke. The smoke was creamy and enjoyable. The first quarter of the cigar had a bit too much pepper for me, but that soon ended and mellowed into a nice bitter chocolate taste. Continuing on taste, the taste was like nothing i've ever smoked. I've smoked a few hundred cigars and I can't recollect one that had the same taste as this one. I know that others have compared it to the RP 1992, but i've smoked a '92 and I don't remember it tasting quite the same. I will have to revisit it. The finish was fairly long, lasting about the last third of the stick. Once I hit the last quarter, the cigar got a little to much tar for my taste. All in all it was a good smoke for the price. I got it in a sampler, and it has been aging for about 6 months. I have 1 more left, so maybe in another 6 months i'll give that one a go.
