I am sure that many of you know that I am a big fan of Carlos Torano cigars.  Since the new Fortress had just come out, I started a thread asking if anyone had tried them.

Instead of sending me a review, Rich (Ratboy) sent me a fiver of these sticks.

Thanks Rich, you are a credit to the BOTL spirit of generosity.

Only had them 3 days.  I always give my cigars at least two weeks to acclimate after their journey.

Just over 50 days in the humidor and they looked ready to smoke.

I lit one up today and I must say that it is an excellent smoke, truly worthy of the Carlos Torano name.

Construction is top notch, burn excellent and it is smooth and complex tasting.  Review to follow shortly.

Thanks again Rich
