Torano cigars earn two more honors
PThe latest issues of Smoke and Cigar Insider magazines have awarded cigars from Torano Cigars “best” ratings for two of their cigar brands, both made in Honduras.
The four-person review panel of Smoke’s Fall 2005 issue awarded the Carlos Torano Signature Collection Perfecto a 9.5 (out of 10), the highest figure of any cigar in the publication’s history. Two reviewers called it “perfect” and no reviewer’s score fell below 9.2, with one rating it at 9.7. The cigar has an dark, oily Brazilian wrapper with Dominican and Nicaraguan filler and a Connecticut broadleaf binder. Suggested retail price is $6.30.
Cigar Insider’s October online issue published its list of “Best Connecticut Cigars Since 2000” and Torano cigars filled almost one-quarter of the survey, with three of the 13 slots being filled by Carlos Torano Reserva Selecta shapes: the Torpedo ($7.62 MSRP), Petit Corona ($6.26) and Churchill ($7.30). The Carlos Torano Reserva Selecta is a mild-to-medium cigar with Dominican, Honduran and Nicaraguan filler and a Connecticut shade wrapper.
