Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 blend, rated top 5 cigar of the year by Cigar Aficionado in 2006! The Exodus 1959 commemorates the Exodus of expert Cuban 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. The Toraños were one of those families. This cigar has rich and bold flavors with a dynamic blend of tobaccos from five different countries. These gems sometimes get forgotten about, perhaps they are not marketed as aggressively as other brands, but great construction, solid flavors, all for a good price point, what more can you ask for.
