The Carlos Torano “house blend” uses a blend of Central and South American tobaccos for this simply-good cigar. The wrapper is a solid Connecticut-seed Ecuadorian. There are no bells and whistles here. The Carlos Torano Casa Torano delivers a smooth mild- to medium-bodied taste with an ineffable creaminess that is the hallmark of a great cigar. The satisfying tastes lasts throughout the entire cigar, never straying into the territory of harsh and biting.
Carlos Torano cigars have a Maduro version of the Casa Torano for those who just can’t live without the distinctive taste of this legendary wrapper. Some have the mistaken idea that a Maduro has to be strong and overpowering. Not so with the Torano iteration. It is a fine, smooth cigar that leaves that lip-smacking sweetness behind at the end of the smoke.
Ring sizes span the range from 48 to 50 to 52, so there’s something for nearly everyone here. A relatively slim 7.00 X 48 Churchill would make a fine all-day cigar for the person on the go who doesn’t have time to sit down and smoke a monumental Torpedo.
If you’re looking for complexity, the Casa Torano is probably not the cigar for you. If you enjoy a good, basic smoke every time all the time, you owe it to yourself to lay in a supply of this fine Carlos Torano line. In a price range of $4 to $7 each, you can have one every day.
