I smoked one of these last night. I, too, enjoy the various Torano blends. Although this is not my favorite, I was very pleased with the Virtuoso. I thought it was mild to medium throughout the first half but became full in the last half to third. There was a noticeable sweet spice taste which I would attribute to the beautiful wrapper. I did not detect much pepper. The cigar did not burn razor sharp but as you note this was not a problem. Nice amount of smoke. Great cigar if you are in the mood for a sweet spice flavor that is not at all overbearing.

I have a friend on his way down to San Antonio to visit, and in his trip he is bringing me one just like this. My mouth is already watering, and I cant wait to let it loose. My favorite so far is the Signature series from Carlos Torano. I have had 2-3 of them and each one is extremely consistent and smoke wonderfully. I have people ask me if it was like a 25-30 dollar cigar because of its pleasant aroma and LONG compact ash. I said it was a great priced cigar, I didn’t tell them they were under 10 dollars a piece.

Great review, I just happened to stumble upon this website searching for reviews of this particular cigar as I wanted to have a preview before I smoked it. Sounds like it will be a real beaut! Thanks again for the review!

Dave,

I’m glad you are enjoying the reviews.

Smoking a cigar alone does have its drawbacks, but then again it leaves a lot of time to just relax without any interruptions.

I was in the same situation when I started smoking cigars. I thought to myself, this seems like a very interesting hobby, i can’t image it being too expensive. Boy was i wrong

A fresh rolled Torano… got me drooling there, Fritz.

Ya got me thinkin Jerry — I think I would put the signature ahead of the Virtuoso as well (but not ahead of the 1916.) They’re all great! (Well, except the Nicaraguan. Have to say I can’t stand that cigar.)

I got this in my package from Cigarfan too! Walt you beat me to it. But yeah, I haven’t met a Torano that I haven’t loved. My favorite is the Signature line followed by the 1959.

Fritz you lucky dog! Torano events are supposed to be the best rolling events to attend.
