Prelight: Licorices, sweet tobacco, caramel

1st 1/3
Slightly hard draw, this is accrued on all the ones I've smoke to date but always open up later.

Sweet creamy smoke of cocoa, earth, sweet spices an dried berries and dark chocolate.

2nd 1/3
Caramel is dominant and slight pepper tingle the nose.

Spiced cinnamon and faint cherry flavors also, this is one hell of a stick and is causing my favorite Arturo Fuente Añejo to take a back seat, not to mention the drastic difference in price attraction and matched slow burn.

Final 1/3
Burn is sharp and again the draw opens up, there isn’t much of a nicotine kick and that's fine with me.

Coffee, leather also with a bit of wood and that light pepper, the licorice fading just right for balance.

This has become a box worthy cigar and an everyday stick for rotating with other favorites.
Nice short smoke

Even if you don't like them after getting a few, there great for gifts with there attractive copper cigar bands (you can give them to me :-) )
Smoke time: 1 hr
Score 10 out of 10

I find I like the Robusto better than the short Churchill.

Great smoke though. My favorite of the Torano.

Great review. I wish my palette was as observant as yours. But the 50 Years is easily in my top 10 of all time. I was able to snag a couple of 50 Year solomons last month. Eager to see how a big'un will taste.

Torano makes really nice bands, I'll give them that.
I've not found a keeper among their smokes yet, but the Exodus wasn't bad. Seemed all their stuff leaned towards dry and bitter, and that's what put me off.
The Exodus 50 sounds pretty decent. Glad to see they're doing good things. :-)

Nice review. The 50 years and the Casa Torano Maduro are my favorites of the Torano cigars.

Good review, thanks for sharing. I've smoked about six different Toranos and this and the Reserva Selecta are the only ones that I would buy again. I really enjoy this smoke; it's probably one of my top 20 favorites.

Hope I don't waste money on the sample pack :-)
Thanks

The other ones I had weren't crappy, they just weren't in line with my flavor profile.
