| Named the 5th best cigar in the world by Cigar Aficionado in 2006, Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 is still currently ranked among the top 25 cigars available, and for good reason.
The Torano Family has been a part of the tobacco industry for generations, opening their first factory in 1916. Since then, the demand for Torano cigars has grown exponentially, as they have established themselves in every major cigar producing country in Central America.

Torano Exodus 1959 was created in memory of all the Cuban cigar families who fled Cuba in 1959 due to the Communist revolt.

Together, these leaves create an incredible complexity, offering cocoa-like flavors, hints of pepper, and a smooth yet semi-robust finish. Medium to full-bodied, Torano Exodus 1959 is a must try for all enthusiasts abound and should never disappoint. |
