Carlos ToranO - Virtuoso

[brigey57]

Question for you BOTL; have you smoked the Carlo Torano Virtuoso and what rating would you give the cigar? The reason I am asking is I had an unusual experiance with the cigar. I will comment after I have heard from a you.

Thanks. :tu

[KazzTheMurse]

I like them. they are def a good smoke and I didnt have any problems with it. Nice rich cigar :tu

did you have problems with it?

[NCRadioMan]

The only ones I have had are several years old and they were outstanding.

[groogs]

They are decent, but I like the Exodus 1959 and the Signature better.

[AllOGistics]

I thought it was a pretty good smoke and would smoke one again. I haven't tried the Exodus, but I think I have to agree with groogs on the Signature. I don't think I've had any problems with a Torano.

[Bruzee]

It was a good smoke, but nothing to write home about. I would pick some up at a good price, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do so. I agree about the Exodus series. :2

The Signature is my favorite Torano and one of my favorite cigars overal but the Virtuoso is well worth a try.

I think the Virtuoso is funky. Strangest tasting cigar I've experienced; I could barely finish the bugger.

Exodus 59 FTMFW

i have had one mate but i didnt find it very nice

[ChINaMaN1472]

Quite a disappointing cigar. Very muddied taste that doesn't know what it wants to be besides the typical "strong, dark, rich" profile. Basically feels like a mutt cigar to me.

[roughrider]

The few I've tried have been nice.

[silentjon]

This is a good cigar, but I've haven't smoked any Torano cigars for a while.

[dccraft]

The few that I have had were all very nice.

[kaisersozei]

I think the first half of this cigar is fine. Past the midway point, things get weird. Definitely prefer the Exodus and even the 1916.

[Hardcz]

Great smoke, love the wrapper and overall flavor.

[fatboy05]

I enjoy them:ss

[rizzle]

I wouldn't say that I can't get enough, but I definitely like that cigar and try to keep a few around. Other than a tight draw on one of them have never had a problem. I give them a thumbs up.

Like all the toranos I've had they are a well made cigar.The virtuoso has a flavor profile that's a little on the odd side I keep going back to it hoping I can peg the flavor so far no luck.I voted take it or leave it.

[icantbejon]

I've only had two of these, but I've liked them both. I obviously didn't rush out to the shop and grab a box, but if I saw a deal on a fiver or something, I'd pick it up again.

[piperman]

I have had a couple, wouldn't throw it away if it was given to me, not a bad cigar.

[Killjoy]

I avoid them like the plague

[FriskyDingo]

I had three of these cigars spread out over a series of a few months. One was a gift and the others were bought in different places. I didn't care for any of them. I thought they burned great but just didn't have the flavor profile I enjoy. I have heard that they are much better with age but I haven't purchased another yet to say first hand.

Funny way to setup the poll though. It is setup as Fine smoke, Okay smoke, or too sophisticated for my pallet. It reminds me of an Aqua Teen Hungerforce episode where none of the options are what I would want. :r

Actually my favorite of the Torano line.

[uptown_isy]

When I first tried the Vitruoso, I was really impressed. Problem is that I couldn't sell too many of them, so I don't carry them much anymore. I also haven't smoked one in a while, but well worth trying out, for all of you that haven't.

[greenwit]

I think your poll options are a bit on the extreme side. I like 'em....but not so much that 'I can't get enough.' I bought a box of the Fortes and I like 'em as a solid rotation cigar. Distinctive taste and stronger than what you would expect from Torano. One last thing.....the box is beautimous!

[BlackIrish]

Agree with others that the poll structure could be better, but no worries.

Actually smoking one (an Encore -- the robusto) as I type. I picked up a fiver at a good price. Smoked the first about 4-5 mos ago (it had probably been in my humi for about a month) and it was just ok. The one I'm smoking tonight, which now has 6 mos in my humi, is excellent -- much better than the first, with deep dark flavors and nice complexity. Construction is excellent, too, but I expect that from Torano. I do like the Exodus quite a bit but I find that the Virtuoso has a fuller, deeper, richer flavor.

Good Smoke. Not my favorite from thier line, but good. I like the silver 1959s and The 1916 probably the best, Though I need to update my self on thier line, Its been a while! :D

I was such a Torano ho but I havent been keeping up enough with my cigars like I should I suppose. I do know thier noventa is a pretty good smoke. Thier whole line is pretty much medium-mild to medium. Rarely youll find some in the medium-full genre, more so with some age. I have a half a box of Torano 1959 silvers that has about 2 years on them and they have really developed.

TORANO FOR THE WIN! :D:ss
