Carlos Torano Signature Collection
The Carlos Torano Signature collection was released in 2000 with five different vitolas to choose from. This line of cigars features a blend of tobacco from four countries and is intended to be medium to full-bodied. Over the years I’ve smoked my fair share of these in various sizes, but for this review I sat […]

Drew Estates Liga Privada T52 Flying Pig
One of the most interesting cigars I’ve ever received at IPCPR was the Liga Privada No. 9 Flying Pig from Drew Estates. It was this short, fat, almost jet black perfecto that was hard as a rock. My friend Tom and I both got samples and I put mine away to try later. Tom lit […]

Torano Master robusto
After reading the descriptions of the two new releases this year by Torano Family Cigars, the Master really piqued my interest. In collaboration with master roller, Felipe Sosa, Torano released this cigar which received much adulation from my fellow cigar reviewers. Also, recently, I reviewed the Single Region Jalapa which I wasn’t too enthralled by. […]
