The end of Toronto

Toro is short for Toronto. It was a men's variety magazine for Canadians (think aiming to be Esquire or GQ, but accomplishing to be a Canuck version of Details by featuring national (well, more honestly, primarily Toronto, secondly Montreal, and in a distant third place, Vancouver) people, places, and things).

I once won a prize pack of old man-scent cologne from Toro.

On February 12th, 2007, Toro officially suspended publication.

PS. I assume that I should not expect any refund on the issues that I pre-paid for and will not receive. I don't know if anybody else has ever had a Canadian magazine fold up shop while they were a subscriber and can provide insight into how it plays out.
