Just bought five of these- three Corojo Toros and two Maduro Toros. Haven't smoked any of them yet. What's the word on these? I know they're super-powerful (which is fine by me) and that's about it. Everything Patel touches seems to turn to deliciously smokeable gold, so I'm looking forward to them. What do you all think?

I used to love them but as my palate advanced they are just okay smokes. Seems like most people either love them or hate them. I like them okay, for about 5 bucks they are not a bad smoke but very one dimensional. Not bad but can't say they are very good.

I've had one, and only one. First quarter was so so good. After that, it knocked me on my arss!! Way too strong for me but still had good flavor. Course maybe mixing with some beer on the way could've had something to do with that.

As dstokely posted, there doesn't seem to be a lot of in-between in likes and dislikes for this stick.

I've always really liked the Edge Toro Maduro -- my taste profile has evolved since I tried my first one and I'm always finding new favorites, but this stays among them.

Don't like them. I feel that they are very one dimensional.

Yeah, but it's such a tasty little dimension, y'know?
