Over the past three years, Stogie Review has been fortunate enough to attend the annual IPCPR trade show. Each year there seems to be a trickle of news that makes its way around the industry while most companies remained tight-lipped. This year is no different, except that the trickle of news is much more potent. During a conversation with the Torano Family Cigar Company, in regards to our Second Annual Twitter Brothers of the Leaf Cocktail Hour, we learned that three new cigars were being released in addition to one large piece of news that we would receive today via press release.
By way of that press release, we have learned that Torano will be donning a new look and a new name. Take a look at the press release below for more information on the reboot of what we once knew as Torano Cigars.
Torano Family, armed with a new look, is back in control of its own distribution.
