So I am a Torano fan, like em all, some more then others with the "Loyal" being my favorite of the bunch
Noticed the Hogshead's listed at a pretty good price elsewhere, have read a few reviews that go from good to horrible. (one reviewer even went so far as to describe the taste as what he would assume it was like for his dog tasting his own balls while cleaning himself) :/ Hmmm
Anyone here try one - or a few, that can share there thoughts on them ??
Thanks in advance to the guinea pig :D

    This is one that I think you will enjoy.
    It's a Torano.
    The problem I think some folks were running into is that they expected it to be like their other lines.
    I don't think it is like anything they've done before.
    The Brazil wrapper and sumatra binder create a really good combo, in my opinion.
    I would pair it with a Root Beer, Sarsaparilla, water or a light bourbon.
    Most anything else will take away from it.

    Remember, this isn't a premiprem, so if you don't put too high of expectations on it, I think it will surprise you.
    It will go on my list of ones to get more of.

    Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Take it for what it's worth.

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    Thanks!
    I almost missed seeing that. Ordering a bundle this week.
    I'm way over budget, but I can't pass that up. LOL!
    Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness, than ask for permission. LOL!

    Excellent stick. Some complexity. Construction is perfect, nice draw. You will not have to fuss with keeping it lit and smooth burning. Pairs well with a good whiskey or brandy.
