When to Robustos in Steveston today. Looking for a recommendation as that nasty Cohiba was still stuck in my throat when I woke up this morning. Introed to: Carlos Torano Cigars Reserva Decadencia. A bit hard to fine online, but worth it. Touted as a dessert cigar, Toraño Cigars and Wilson Creek Winery have combined their expertise to create a product that pairs one of each of their award-winning products. The cigar is blended with just a hint of the port wine, which in turn receives ‘just a pinch’ of natural chocolate, to enhance the wine’s innate chocolate undertones.

Great as a beginner cigar, extremely smooth, creamy and sweet. Definitely worth the buy.

$36 (?) for a Churchill, $34 for a Robusto – 30 minutes difference in burn time. $150 for box of 20 Churchills online.
