This evening I had the opportunity to smoke the Torano Noventa (90). Of the 3 sizes available, I am smoking La Esperanza (the hope) which is a 52x6.00. The cigar comes in a box of 25. Price point is about $10 each. This cigar is constructed of puro Nicaraguan tobacco that has been aged for 5 years. The wrapper is leather 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. Rating: 7+
