2003 torano tribute Review

2003 Torano Tribute
Churchill 7 x 50
Cut was clean. Prelit draw seemed a little loose but it firmed up once lit. The initial draw seemed to indicate a stronger smoke than anticipated. I usually don’t smoke churchills but because of the limited nature of this cigar I had to settle for what was available.
I toasted the foot and lit it up. At first the wrapper did not burn as fast as the filler and I thought this cigar was going to have burn issues but it fixed itself and there were no burn issues for the rest of the cigar. Ash was a little crumbly but it was a little windy and I was walking the dog. Not too much smoke either.
Overall, it wasn’t the most complex smoke you will find. Neither is it the smoothest. Taste was solid but not awe-inspiring. It is a good, medium bodied (if not a tad under) smoke that does not leave you wanting. On the other hand, it is not one that will go down in the books as one of the greatest. Having said that, if you do get a chance at one, for a decent price, I would recommend it. My B&M has the robusto for $10 and the Churchill for $11 but I don’t think I’ll go for one at that price. I think the 2004are much better.
sorry, i don't have any pictures of the cogar only my cigar companion Lucy

Nice Review, thanks.

It would seem hard to justify at $11. I want to be impressed at that price point.

A good and accurate review!

The Toranos are (in general) great cigars! But they're certainly NOT going to knock your socks off!!!

In fact, your review triggers a thought: "This would be a very nice stick to offer to a newcomer."
