"Outstanding Cigar!"
A good price for a fine cigar. Nice oily wrapper with great construction. Wonderful flavor of slightly sweet chocolate. Mild to smoke. I highly recommend!

"Best Torano Yet"
I tried the Signature because my regular cigar was sold out. THe shop had received them by accident and was panning to send them back. I was so sold on the flavor and taste I bought the box and now they keep a reular stock at the shop I frequent. Smooth, medium growing to a good finish, I recommend them to everyone I know who enjoys cigars.

"The Second Torano for me..."
...was not as good as the first I had from the Exodus series. It was not bad though. It's an attractive stick and it starts out mellow and medium bodies enough. The woody, coffee based flavor gave way to a rather acrid and heavy spice with only a mild hint of the chocolatey coffee still remaining. It was by no means terrible, but I was left a little disappointed and tongue-numbed. For a cigar touted for its cedar and cofee flavors, I would never remember it for either compared to some of the Drew Estate, Fonseca or Rockys I've had for instance. Burn was pristine up until the end where it holes in the leaf began smoking and burning too quickly. Had this been my first experience with a Torano I might have dismissed the line, but after my Exodus Silver, I'm willing to invest more time Carlos despite this mediocre smoke.

"after 2 1/2 years....."
Smoked one after more then 2 1/2 years of age on them. I had (too) high expectations since it was a nice "right out of the box" smoke.
It was still a one dimensional smoke but not with the nice flavours from before but a rather harse undertone that got bitter halfway. It happened with other sticks from this line which tells me that the consistency is not that good. A pity since i liked the first one. I still have one churchill left. So if it was a one of a will post a new review in due time.

Best of the Signature Series. Fine even burn, white ash and you can lay it down and it will wait for you.

"Spice + Cedar"
Cigar looked great, first centimeter or so was slightly cedary and slightly sweet, then the rest was rather harsh, spicy and very cedary. Even left relatively poor aftertaste. Burn was not too even, needed some correction. I'm now convinced cedar is not the thing for me.

"Decent smoke"
The look of this cigar was excellent. The construction was excellent and the draw was very smooth. The flavor was a little heavy on cedar at the start, but it eventually changed to a more leathery taste. Personally I don't care for heavy cedar, so I won't be buying anymore of these.

"Creamy smoootthhh"
After reading the other reviews, I came to the conclusion that I was blessed with a extra sensitive palate. Because I detected all of the sentual flavors and aromas of this delicious cigar. Fresh ground gourmet coffee and the creamiest Swiss milk chocolate, sweet spices and herbs. too many to mention. I was really trown back by this marvelous robust smoke.
I will keep a good supply of these in my humidor for those special moments. Mr. Torano is "THE" master of the industry.

"Good but the Torpedo is better"
There's a reason the Torpedo sells for a buck more each. The churchill is a good cigar, no doubt, but the first half was fairly boring and bland. The second half picked up the spicy, cocoa, leather and coffee flavors that I like so much in the Torpedo.

"reliable"
This is like all the other Toranos that I have smoked................reliable. No surprises with the appearance, construction, or burn; all first rate. The flavor is a bit milder than I expected, but still a fine smoke.

"mmm...mmm...good"
Well, I finally convinced myself to buy a box from Bonita Smoke Shop (free plug) and I'm glad I did. Always reliable when I can't decide what else to try. Good woodsy, deep mocha flavors and perfect draw. Could be more pronounced flavors to it as ASHMAN suggested, but still good. Next time, I'll try a larger ring size because you just never know where the flavor might be hiding.

"Not impressed."
Don't get me wrong, it's a good cigar it just left me wanting more from it. The woody charry flavor overwhelmed any others that may have won me over. A beautiful medium brown wrapper topped a well rolled barrel. Wonderful burn and long silver ash contributed to the aesthetics but not the great flavors I expected.

"very very nice"
This was my first signature cigar. Had to take my time for this long dark beautiful smoke. More than 1 1/2 hour of bliss. Nice white ash, the smoke was nice and thick. Sweet spice, coffee and chocolate flavours in this stick. Not a lot of complexity developement but that didn't matter at all. Very nice smoke the draw was up to Torano standards, just perfect, not to loose not too tight. The only flaw was that the burn wasn't perfect, a few touch ups otherwise excellent smoke! In the Netherlands these are excellent for the money. (I know......they are a lot cheaper in the States)
