This cigar celebrates the Torano family's 90 year tobacco heritage as growers and producers of some of the finest hand-rolled cigars in the world. A blend of the best 5 year old Nicaraguan tobacco, hand selected by the Torano family from their farms in Nicaragua. Aged in reserve until they reach their peak. An elegant, rich yet smooth, perfectly balanced flavor in a medium bodied strength.
Featured Review
This evening I had the opportunity to smoke the Torano Noventa (90). This cigar is constructed of puro Nicaraguan tobacco that has been aged for 5 years. The wrapper is leathery looking and is somewhere in between smooth and toothy. There is a slight oily sheen making it look fresh and not dried out. It is slightly spongy to the touch throughout.
The cigar has a cedar woody flavour on the tongue. It has lots of creamy bluish smoke with a leather aroma. There is a light spice flavour that comes and goes. Nice easy draw. As the cigar warms up about half way through, the spice flavour increases, the leather deepens and a light java flavour becomes present. This is a medium strength and flavoured cigar that burned very evenly from start to finish. Pick one up and give it a try.
