What does Carlos Torano have to do with K. Hansotia?

This is a discussion on What does Carlos Torano have to do with K. Hansotia? within the General Cigar Discussion forums, part of the The Cigar Lounges at Puff category; Thompson's refers to Carlos Torano when describing these Gurkha SEs. This can't be accurate...or do they not know better?? http://www.thompsoncigar.com/default...earch&uid=1269...

I believe that Torano makes all of the cigars for the Beach Cigar group, owners of Ghurka and K. Hansotia brand.

Good info. I did not know that. I thought Hansotia was the man. Thanks!

Hey Boone I think you need to go post in the "Everything but cigars - What have you learned today" thread.

Or I can because it is news to me also. Thanks.

I think the real question here is….why are you reading Thompson’s website?
