This cigar differs a little from it's lighter cousin the regular Casa Torano.
First, it doesn't have the slight pepper spice present in the former. It's there's for a brief moment when lighting, then it disapates. I like this. I'm not too big on spice and pepper in my cigars. If it's not to over powering I'll accept it. But if I had a choice I'd rather not have it.
Second, the predominant flavor is expresso, with a mild earthy tobacco layer mixed in. Doesn't vary much from this. Very consistent, and very good.
The one draw back was the draw. A little tough. Took a few good drags to get a good volume of smoke. All in all though a good piece. Like it better than the original.
Long ashes my friends!
