I’ve found Torano’s offerings to be really wonderful. If I ever get a chance to pick one of these up I’m springing for it!

Great review Charlie, thanks!

Great review. I think this is the best Tribute yet. It seemed to have a lot of characteristics of the Virtuoso.

Jerry…From Tobacconist University:

3rd FERMENTATION

Originally, the ‘legendary’ Cohiba brand was the only Cuban cigar to undergo a 3rd Fermentation. This Fermentation took place in barrels at lower than usual temperatures. The result of the 3rd Fermentation gave the Cohiba a richer and more nuanced flavor profile.

The concept of a 3rd Fermentation may simply be a marketing concept which makes that product seem more special. As we have learned, “over-fermentation” will exhaust the Tobacco of its organoleptic properties: too much Fermentation will ruin tobacco leaf. Perhaps the concept of a 3rd Fermentation is really another period of Añejamiento, or slow aging.

I haven’t had one of the new ones, but I have loved the previous ones. Awesome review.

Charile! Excellent review my friend. Really need to get off my butt and track these down. I’ve loved all the previous versions of the Tribute and it sounds like the 2008 will be no different.

One question, what exactly does it mean for the wrapper to be triple fermented? Whats the benefit and whats the normal amount a wrapper is fermented?
