"This cigar is 'rasty' and needs some help"
This cigar seemed 'rasty' (real-nasty) to me. It wouldn't stay lit. I think some time in my bourbon humidor would render it more fit for my taste.

"Just A Great Smoke"
Cigars are my passion. I spend close to $5,000.00 a year on boutique cigars (mostly collecting, but smoking a few too). This past year I've taken an interest in the entire Carlos Torano line. Overall, I am impressed with the quality construction and tobaccos used by the Torano family. Sometimes I'm frustrated with the uneven burn (due to their thick sun grown wrapper) which occasionally occurs with this particular line, but then I look at the consistency of the construction, aroma, flavor, and value I've enjoyed while smoking these sticks and feel good about it. In fact, I've chosen this line as my daily smoke.

"Good cigar, BAD burn"
I've ordered probably a dozen boxes of various Torano's over the last year and a half. Always a great value. The Virtuoso has great flavor, looks great, draws well, BUT the the burn on my last box was abysmal. I haven't changed lighters, cut method, or humidor conditions, so I figure it's the cigar. I'm pretty disappointed. Maybe they were rolled on a Monday?

"Fantastic! - Torano's best - IMHO"
This is the smoothest stick I've burned. Not for the mild smoker though. Spice, wood and some cocoa, a complex smoke. Visually, a piece of eye candy. Construction, burn and draw was excellent. A great smoke with cognac. Do yourself a favor and burn one! My current favorite cigar.
