Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon Corona.

Today i had one of this little smokes , it was really good.
It had a slight tight prelight draw, but when it was lit it produced nice amounts of smoke. Had a nice looking wrapper, and had a nice white ash.
It had nice burn only had to do 1 touch up cause it was side burning.

As for flavor, it tasted really good. Had a earthy and woodsy taste, i think the small cedar wrapping gets inthe cigar flavor. The aroma from the cigar i think it smelled a lot like burning cedar. Overall i think the cigar was very good,a great line. Luckily i have other two in the humi, a churchill and a robusto.

Re: Carlos Toraño 1916 Cameroon Corona.

I love the 5.5 x 52 Robusto (I call it a "Robusto +") vitola in this line; bigger than most robustos yet smaller than a Toro. This cigar gives A. Fuente's Don Carlos line a real run for the money; I am not certain if I like it better or not yet; however at half the price of a DC I will certainly smoke many more 1916s than AFs even if I eventually decide the Don Carlos is a bit better. (the #4 is such a nice cigar).

My great bud Hungsolo just hooked me up with a 1/2 box of them! woohooo!!!

Re: Carlos Toraño 1916 Cameroon Corona.

I have smoked several of the churchills in this line and like them quite a bit. I had my first 1916 corona Friday afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it! Tons of creamy cool smoke, just a really good cigar.

Re: Carlos Toraño 1916 Cameroon Corona.

You're right about the cedar. I taste a lot of that when I have these also.

Re: Carlos Toraño 1916 Cameroon Corona.

I am gonna lit up either the robusto or the Churchill this weekend since Ive read some nice comments around. its good to hear you like the review since i have to make some effort on making sense on them cause sometimes as i am writing i express in spanish and write in english and doesnt make sense at all so i have to check the reviews several times haha.
