The Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 was an immensely popular cigar during its debut and has retained a loyal following since. This particular toro has a rich-looking dark brown reddish wrapper with few visible veins and a satiny sheen.
It took a punch well and the pre-light draw is just fine. Even though this is a tightly box-pressed cigar, it still draws great and yields tons of smoke.
There is a spiciness and pepperiness on the middle of tongue with this cigar. It is also woody with a rich earthiness. There is also a little bit of coffee bean here and there. I also picked up a touch of leather touch on the palate with a super long finish good cigar. It is also a little dry.
The burn did canoe a few times but the cigar corrected itself.
This is a pretty good cigar that has been hit or miss for me in the past. Thanks again to the folks at CAO & Torano for letting me try their products!
