Any Good Torano Cigars???

Buying boxes based upon other's opinions and to justify buying a cooler is just plain silly.

Buy singles or fivers to try. And then formulate your own opinions.

If you continue to buy boxes in this manner you will end up with a lot of sale threads or cigars for the troops.

I'm mostly buying boxes of cigars I've already had and liked a lot to increase my collection/habit. Just was wondering about the Toranos because they're always so cheap. Thanks for your concern though.

The Exodus 89 is a good medium smoke. Buy a sampler and try several different ones!

I cannot concur more heartily with a post. This is absolutely true. When you buy a box, make sure it is a cigar you know that you like.

You're going to end up with a pile of boxes in a few months. You're right its your money. But tastes will change and without a doubt a cigar you like today will be sitting in your cooler gathering dust in a year. But no doubt the troop supporters will be very happy.

So basically you're just against buying boxes in general?

I think what Bob is trying to say is that you should buy boxes based on what you like, not blindly based on what someone else likes or recommends. If someone likes and recommends a cigar, and it sounds interesting to you, don't buy a box, start with a few singles at your B&M or a 5'er. Blindly committing to a whole box could easily leave you with a lot of cigars that you don't like enough to keep.

I understand what he is trying to say. In my response, I said I have been buying boxes of cigars I've tried and liked. I was curious about the Toranos because they are always selling for so cheap and just wanted to opinions. Not trying to ruffle any feathers.....

Exactly. Conversely, I would also not give up on a cigar based upon someone else's opinion or a single smoke. We all have different palates, that is why there are thousands of cigars out there.

Not at all. I have 75-100 boxes in my coolers and Vinotemps. What I said was buying boxes based upon another smokers tastes or to fill a cooler is not a good idea. You will find countless threads here from people whose tastes have changed over the course of a year or so and have boxes to sell.

If you've only been back in the "game" for six months after taking five years off, there are hundreds of new blends to try.

Bob, I honestly appreciate what you said, I was just trying to explain that my plan wasn't to just go buy random boxes.....My post did come off sounding that way. I just wanted some opinions.
