Oh Mr. "F-L-A-W-L-E-S-S" your review might actually be useful if you had told us if the one you wrote the review on was a "Gold" or "Silver"

Here's what Famous-Smoke says about each one:

SILVER

Carlos Torano Exodus Silv cigars are medium to full bodied cigars made with a more complex blend than the gold banded 1959 Edition. These luxurious cigars are draped in gorgeous Criollo wrappers married to a rich combination of Honduran, Mexican and Costa Rican filler tobaccos. The result is a very spicy, yet marvelously smooth smoke with traces of dark caramel, citrus and cedar that captures the essence of the best 'pre-embargo' Cuban cigars. A very rewarding evening smoke, indeed.

GOLD

Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 cigars offer a medium-bodied, full flavored smoke commemorating the Exodus of the leading Cuban cigar families from their native Cuba. (The Toranos were one of those families.) Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 cigars are Cuban-pressed (semi-round) in chocolate colored Habano wrappers with Dominican, Honduran, Mexican, Nicaraguan & Costa Rican tobaccos. Sought for their creamy, rich flavor, long finish and captivating, roasted coffee and cocoa aroma, put these at the top of your favorites list!

I prefer the Gold over the Silver.

If you know your Torano’s then you should be able to figure out that this review is based on the Gold series. The Silver series has the Torpedo Especial, not a Torpedo, however the regular 1959 series (some times referred to as Gold) does have the Torpedo.

The flavor wasn't that incredible to me, hence why I marked it down a tad. The wrapper thing could be a humidity problem or the torcedor getting lazy on the job. With all this being said, it is a great cigar and was my choice the day that I made the review. I couldn't have picked a better cigar to end a great day with.

Definitely one of my better smoking experiences.

The Gold or the Silver?

has anyone tried the toranos tribute,im new to smoking but really enjoyed it

**Purobrat** · 06-24-2005, 07:13 PM

The Torano Tribute is a great smoke! Torano factories produce some of the finest cigars in the world. I especially like their bigger ring gauge smokes, like the Churchill's. You can't go wrong.

Not at all Hex since most sites and retailers do not mention the "Especial" when refering to the Exodus 1959 Silver Torpedos, they simply call them Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 Silver Torpedos or Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 Gold Torpedos. Check out CI & Famous and you'll see what I mean.

Again, Scotty did not specify which cigar this is.........

SFG75 · 05-16-2005, 02:22 PM

If the term "silver" isn't used in the title, it can be fairly presumed that........ I seriously doubt anyone was confused as to what cigar I was referring to. If there was some confusion, surely someone would've posted making the same point. But that didn't happen, so.......

Even the newbs knew better.

don't mean to bust your chops, but until conventrycat's post, i didn't know there was a gold and silver. i did assume it was the gold one because thats all i knew existed. i've never seen a silver. and how do you know the newbs knew what you were talking about? none besides me posted in this thread.

**jaewing** · 05-16-2005, 02:45 PM

As an attorney I agree with the necessity for clarity and specifics in all cases . . . and in that vein I agree with CCat.

Although . . . with regard to this thread I agree also with SFG75 in that generally when reading about or discussing the Torano Exodus line the Gold line is generally presumed when the term Exodus is mentioned alone. Whenever I have seen the Silver line discussed it seems there is always a point to specify Silver. Why this is I do not know. This seems a bit odd. Why not mention both every time?

Oddly enough I, for some reason, knew he was reviewing Silver as well. As for me I prefer the Silver over the Gold . . . better flavor and much more smooth for my liking, though the Gold was still a good cigar.

**Diesel Grinch** · 05-16-2005, 03:05 PM

jaewing if I ever heard of an attorney answer that is one.

Keep that up you should run for office.

As stated in the review, it was a bit pungent. I'd dare say tha tI was tasting ammonia, but now that I think about it-the silver was a smoother cigar as you've mentioned.

You are so full of shit it isn't even funny. You forgot to make the distinction in your review, I asked about it and you come back with your typical condescending double talk.

"Surely someone would've (BTW WTF is "would've" you're making up words again you idiot) posted making the same point" Well look again Scotty, two people did indeed do that.

You are such an asshole.......

Soctty, I actually enjoy it immensely when you make asinine posts like this because you only strengthen my point that you are one of the biggest pieces of trash to ever post on an internet BB. Keep up the good work.

No one has posted saying: "I thought you were reviewing the silver." That's the fact-pure and simple. If someone does not know that the silver line even exists, that still doesn't prove your point. As a matter of fact, it proves mine.

I'm confused, SFG - which cigar were you reviewing??? Also, you might want to consider that maybe you got a lot of "that's nice" views, without any response.

But CC makes a great point - you probably should be a little more specific in your description in that you knew (or SHOULD HAVE KNOWN - right jaewing) that there would be confusion, considering the lines are so closely linked (the bands and the viotlas are nearly identical)...

Yes George, you are ultimately an unbiased source in this dispute.

No, I shouldn't have been more specific. Everyone knew what I was talking about and no one said they thought I was talking about the silver. There is no confusion here, nor is anyone trying to solve it genuinely. This is just one more little dig aimed at me on the part of someone else purely for the sake of it. If anyone doubts that, they haven't been paying attention to this board for very long.
