Torano Reserva Selecta

As we noted a few weeks ago, Torano Family Cigars is re-packaging their Reserva Select line.  In addition, the company is adding a fifth vitola, a 6 x 60.  These changes were launched at the 2013 IPCPR Trade Show in Las Vegas.

The packaging changes involved eliminating the glass tubes.  In a discussion we had with Jack Torano, Director of Marketing at Torano said, “we’ve been getting a lot of people talk about how the new cigar smoker likes to touch, feel, and smell the cigar and that glass tube, it became almost a novelty. So we rebranded, repackaged it, taken it out of the glass tube, and brought the price point down 30%“.

The rebranding takes moves the Reserva Select from the company’s old Carlos Torano packaging to the new Torano Family Cigars branding.  The packaging now includes a more traditional wooden box.

The blend remains the same as well as the vitolas offerings, with the exception of the new 6 x 60 vitola.   At a glance, here is a summary of the Torano Reserva Selecta.
