Torano Exodus 1959 50 Years

We've already told you about the naming of the Exodus 1959 line of cigars, but with the milestone reaching its fiftieth year, Carlos Toraño knew he needed to do something special, and so the Toraño Exodus 1959 50 Year was born. For those of you unfamiliar, it was 1959, when Carlos' family left behind all they had known in Cuba to relocate to the Dominican Republic. From there they would work to build what would come to be one of the most highly recognized cigar-making families ever. To properly celebrate this anniversary, Carlos created a new blend of Esteli and Pueblo Nuevo Nicaraguan tobaccos and cloaked them beneath an amazing Brazilian Arapiraca.

Mahogany with uniform dark spots creating a mottled tortoiseshell appearance. The cigar exudes a pleasingly exotic spice aroma, and the flavor, through a cold draw is tongue-tingling. Sweet plumes of smoke pour through from the start, with a primary profile of espresso and cocoa, but there is a definite gingerbread quality to the smoke that builds in sweetness as the ash gets longer. Once the cigar enters the second half of its journey, plenty of rich molasses and creamy wood will be washing over your palate in a medium to full bodied flood of flavor. A cigar of this stature, having garnered a 93 rating to eclipse even its already similarly awarded brethren, could run into double digits per stick to acquire. Fortunately, both Carlos Toraño and Cigar Stores Near Me.com would rather you spend your hard-earned cash to get more than your money's worth.
