On-going explorations of AGN based at mid-IR wavelengths has tightly constrained individual torus sizes to a few pc and found that spectral fitting in the N band window is consistent with toroidal obscuration at the center of AGN in a non-homogenous or `clumpy’ structure. We discuss results of two recent papers where we combine our mid-IR data with data at other wavelengths to further constrain the torus size and structure. In the first paper, we combine archival high spatial resolution near-IR data with our mid-IR observations to construct an IR SED, which is then fit to the clump torus model. In the second paper we construct at optimal spatial resolution a mid-IR to x-ray correlation, comparing carefully the AGN types. We discuss the implications to models of the AGN torus.
