Today's smokes......

Today I'm trying a Carlos Torano (with a ~ over the N) Casa Torano maduro. The fellow at the B&M said it was pretty much a Ghurka without the name and presentation tacking on to the price.

Tonights smoke will be a Padron 5000 with a friend. I made a trek back home (Beaumont, TX) and would of thought i'd be able to find a decent selection, but boy... Was I wrong. I hope the 5000's won't let me down!

Gotta say I've never heard that one, Torano doesn't come out with a new line every 5 minutes.

Today I lit up a Famous Buenos Madurito. Not to Shabby!

I'm a sucker for smaller dark cigars!

Thanks again WOXOF!

Yes, it's entirely possible that he was just spouting some nonsense off the top of his head to appear knowledgeable. I've done what reading up I can on the company and it mentions nothing about it. Either way, it was a rather tasty cigar, to the point of burning my fingers on it 'cause I didn't want it to end.

Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro Torpedo - great full bodied cigar for a good price.

Alec Bradley Tempus Magistri. My favorite shape/size I've had for this line of cigars. (limited production size, I may have to purchase a box of these before they are gone)

The owner was probably alluding to the fact that Torano makes a lot of the Gurkha cigars.
