"Call Me Crazy"
I didn't enjoy this stick. It looked great and smelled good from the packaging. The construction was so-so and it smoked very hot. I didn't get any sweetness like the other reviewers . I didn't like the taste. Sorry.

"Simply a great cigar"
This is one of the most amazing cigars I have had the pleasure of smoking. The smoke starts out smooth and had hints of vanilla and a serious creamy flavor. I even had a person at another table ask me if the smoke was really coming from the cigar because she said it smelled like a coffee shop.
about half way through the cigar the flavors mature and warm without a touch of harshness or bitterness.
a wonderful smoke

"Perfect 10 cigar"
This has got to be one of the finest cigars I have ever smoked. Maybe not THE best, but it is up there. Sorry if you heard otherwise, but this cigar will remind you why you ever started smoking cigars in the first place.
First the presentation is as professional as it gets, with a tightly sealed crystal tube and cedar inside of it. The construction appears flawless and the pre-burn smell is great.
The cigar itself is very complex, starts off sort of sugary and nutty, then it turns creamy and more like caramel toward the end. Normally I only smoke strong cigars, and this is a relatively mild cigar, but it's the best milder one I've ever had. The aroma is sweet smelling almost like pipe tobacco. No bitterness , all the way down, and that's unusual.
Now for the burn, I have never had a cigar burn as perfectly as this one. I've tried maybe 70 or so brands. The construction is absolutely flawless. I've never had a cigar that burned this great. No relighting, no correcting, no tunnelling, just perfect. Draw was perfect, this puppy was rolled by someone who knows what they're doing.
Throw in the relatively low price, and this is a must try cigar.

"Nope."
Toranos just don't seem to be my cup of tea. The construction on this one was awful, it was peeling and unraveling from the start. Average tobacco flavor, bit of a tight draw. Toranos seem to be well liked here, but I have yet to have one I really dug.

"Que Bonita"
Once again, nice presentation. (Tube, band, wrapper) Average draw with a poor burn for me. (Actually smokes hot) The flavor was mild to medium (typical tobacco) and a bit uninspiring. I kept waiting for some flavors to come through.

"Excellent after some rest."
Beautiful presentation, with the glass tube & the blue band.....en cedro too. The wrapper is just gorgeous.....a shiny lustrous CTS. This cigar is creamy & medium bodied, but has an edge to the sinus at the same time. There are some beautiful sweet highs to the nose & a straightforward tobacco aspect in the finish. The 1st few I smoked I was unsure about, but after a few months rest in the humidor, this cigar really blossoms. Top-notch.

"My fav"
This smoke was amazing. From the first draw to the butt I was impressed with the flavor and smoothness. I got a great deal at $4.50 each and i will buy them untill they run out of stock.

"Nice surprise"
I was expecting a much milder cigar than those that I have smoked. This was definitely a medium to full bodied smoke with the typically flawless Torano construction and burn. I actually enjoy the natural of this size over the maduro version. The value may not be what you find in the Signature or 1916 series, but, still, this is a cigar that I would definitely recommend.

"pretty cigar"
Torano's have this uncanny knack of being good tasting cigars but even better looking cigars. This natural is smooth and creamy looking with a brilliant blue band. It looks so good that I want to leave it in the humi just to impress people. I finally lit one though and the flavor is delicious. I'm starting to get bored with naturals but this is one of the better ones I have smoked. Full of smoke and nice leather flavors

"mild but tasty"
very nice looking cigar, natural wrapper, and perfect construction and burn. started off a little sweet and creamy (very mild) with a little spice to it then moved on to coffee flavors...very mild coffee though. if youre looking for a mild smoke, this is a good choice

"A Good One."
Nice size, looks and construction. Even burn, medium-full flavour. I've smoked these for about 3 years now and consistency is its biggest draw, with each stick delivering.

"Thumbs down"
Firm construction, very dark maduro wrapper with some veins. It leaves an aftertaste I can't place. It annoys me just enough to say I dont need to try it again. For a maduro around same size, the Oliva O Ole maduro is the way to go and runs a buck or two less a stick.

"Excellent Maduro"
I loved this cigar, it ranks as one of my top favorites. Aside from being beautiful to look at, its taste was incredible as was the aromal. It's an hour to hour and a half of pure pleasure, even left me a little dizzy. My only complaint was that it went out every time it ashed, but I am delighted to hear from others that this is not typical. I will certainly have one again sometime, and if it stays lit this time then it will surely become one of my regulars.

"Dissapointing"
Dry woody flavor with a long, flat undistunguished finish. Poor construction. This cigar wouldn't hold an ash. It was like a short fill cigar. Very dissapointing. No chance I would buy it again.

"Honduran gem"
An elegant cigar which was in it's own air tight sealed glass tube humidor. A mild cigar which had hints of spice and cream. A Honduran gem.

Hyped as a "symphony" of taste, this cigar does not live up to the advertising. Not worth the money (I paid $8.00)-- you're basically paying for the glass tube and the fancy bands. On taste alone, though- starts out with hay and cedar. The maduro wrapp

Absolutely the best smoke I have enjoyed, regardless of price. The Torano family remains one of the best kept secrets in the industry and have exceeded their advertised goal of "a good smoke at a fair price!"
