Am I nuts? Are some Carlos Torano's and Ghurka's the same?

[jaewing]

Torano and Gurkha arew made by the same people. I would not be surprised to find out that they use the same molds to shape/press the cigars of both brands. However, I have had many many Toranos and Gurkhas and while there are similarities they are not the same. Especially the Regent and the Exodus. In fact I could tell them apart in a blind tasting.

Anyway that is my .02

That explains a lot. I know I smoked the two Cameroons on consecutive days and they were dead on with each other to me.

I suppose I could have done a little research myself, but the answer wouldn't have been anywhere near as fun without smart-ass comments from the likes of Nhcigarfan!

I never knew Torano made Gurkah or by the same people....learn something new everyday here. :)

Torano rolls lots of stuff. . .they roll at least one Brazilia, I think a La Perla Habana and a Montecristo, there are lots more. These guys are rolling for lots of folks and they are all really good. Tonano is a great smoke as is everything they roll!!
