Car. Torano Res. Selecta Torpedo

Beautiful, well presented cigar. Burned flawlessly except for one spot where the wrapper cracked. Once past there all was well again. Easy draw that provided huge clouds of mild smoke. Mellow and thoroughly enjoyable smoke.

A very respectable cigar from the Torano family. The first inch lacked any character and was minimal in flavor, however the rest of the stick transitioned into smoothness which could be expected. It had a very nice, smooth wrapper which is slighly fragile that did not, however, affect the burn. It's a nice stick but would be even better if it were a dollar or two cheaper. For the amount of money I would choose other milder cigars, or one of the Torano's other selections.

This cigar is well made and presented in a nice glass tube... flashy and dressy packaging.

The cigar lit well and burned flawlessly. Ash was uniform and held strong and long.

The taste was very mild and smooth. Good for a midday smoke or for those with lighter tastes. Creamy smoke that never bit my tongue even when I held it to savor.

If you like strong smokes, however, this one isn't for you.

The initial taste is herbal and a little tannic, though this may be from the taste of the wrapper. Soon it becomes creamier and very very smooth. This is definitely a mild one, though it does build up to about a medium body in the final act. At about the half-way point it gets toasty and further on down it reveals nutty notes with just a hint of spice. The aftertaste is negligible.The construction of this stick is superb. It lights up easily with a good draw and burns level straight. The light gray ash is solid and persistent. I ashed this cigar only three times. While not huge on flavor, this is a very respectable cigar.

Encased in a glass tube and wrapped in a sleeve of cedar, this is a beautiful torpedo with a creamy wrapper that has minimal veins. The draw and burn are excellent; the ash is a bit flaky, the only flaw construction- wise. It's toasty and butttery with hints of pepper and white chocolate; some light coffee flavors appear later as well. Not incredibly complex, but smooth and pleasant. A mild cigar that leaves no buzz afterwards; a good change of pace from the assault of all the stronger cigars out there.

Very well made in every respect. The first one I had though was anything but what I had expected. The first inch or so was incredibly strong. In fact it was the strongest I've ever had (and I like strong cigars), almost to the point of not being enjoyable. It did settle down though and became a great and flavorful mild cigar, very creamy. Top notch after that.
It seemed like that one needed some serious down time, so the other four I have are resting for some time now.

I am a bit surprised that this cigar is not yet rated. I should start by saying if you enjoy morning cigars, this is the cigar for you! The cigar is a beauty - Gold lettering set against a midnight blue canvas as the label, with a satin soft milk chocolate color. As for construction I've smoked four of these now. Two were superb - even burn, nice ash. Two were excellent until the last two inches, where to my dismay, the wrapper started to peel! This could very well be poor humidification (I smoked these within days of purchase). The flavor is amoung the better mild cigars I've enjoyed - soft hints of cream filled coffee with long smooth aftertastes. WARNING - if you do not enjoy mild - I mean mild cigars - you may think this cigar to be flavorless and "airy." The value was excellent, paying around $5 a stick. One of my favorite pre-noon smokes and one of the favorites of many a guest.
