Carlos Torano Exodus 1959

If you’re looking for passion through family history in cigar production, there are many families to take note of such as Arturo Fuente, Padron, Avo and Carlos Torano. When it comes to Torano family history, cigar production dates back to 1916, and it shows in the 1959 Exodus series cigars.
Upon the initial draw of this fine smoke, I was knocked sideways by strong elements of leather and cedar. The seasoned smoker will immediately take notice of the clean oily box-pressed wrapper that encapsulates this cigar. While drawing through this cigar, I was impressed by such a clean burn and an attractive marble ash. This is a stick to savor, for it refuses to burn quickly and is perfect for a lazy weekend afternoon.
Carlos Torano states that the 1959 “commemorates the Exodus of expert cigar families and their impact on the cigar industry after the nationalization of all tobacco farms and cigar factories by the Cuban government in 1959”. It turns out that the Toranos were one of those families, and I felt as though I was actually smoking a Cuban crafted cigar. It shows that they’ve kept production rich in tradition.Consistently rated above average from both Smoke and Cigar Aficionado, this is a cigar not to be missed.


Torano Nothing like a smoke and scotch
