The Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 is a dark, medium bodied cigar with hints of wood and citrus. The beautiful Criollo wrapper blends magnificently with the combination of Honduran, Mexican and Costa Rican filler. They are named after the Exodus of Cuban families from Castro's Regime in 1959, of which the Toranos were part. Originally from Spain, the Toranos were one of the biggest and most well known growers of Cuban tobacco leaf. After fleeing Cuba in 1959, the family took their tobacco farming and cigar production to Dominican Republic, and later to Nicaragua, Mexico and Ecuador. Today, the Toranos are dedicated mostly to the production of cigars, but their extensive knowledge of tobacco is a great asset in producing some of the world's highest quality cigars. The Exodus 1959 Silver Edition was rated 92 by Cigar Insider.
