Carlos Torano Casa Torano Maduro Robusto
This week’s review was an exercise in finding enough of the same cigar to actually do a review. I was starting to get a little worried when I found a forgotten five pack of Casa Torano Maduros I purchased quite a while ago. Long enough ago that the cellophane was starting to yellow a bit. […]
