More info about purchasing: Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon cigars
The Carlos Torano – 1916 Cameroon was introduced in 2003 to commemorate Don Santiago Torano’s emigration from Spain to Cuba. It is hand-made in Esteli, Nicaragua in four vitollas: Robusto (5.5″ x 52), Corona (5.5″ x 42), Torpedo (6.5″ x 54), and Churchill (7″ x 48); each of which are cellos with a thin cedar wrapping. The capa is Nicaraguan grown Cameroon, the capote is Havana-seed Nicaraguan, and the tripa is a blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan. Torano describes the 1916 Cameroon as being a, “slow burning, well balanced, medium body cigar with distinctive hints of pepper, caramel, nuts, and sweet spice with a long, smooth finish.” The vitolla I smoked for this review was the Robusto.
