Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 – 50 Years: Review

Wrapper: Brazilian Arapiraca Sun-grown
Binder: Honduras
Fillers: Esteli and Pueblo Nuevo, Nicaragua
Size: 5 x 50 rubosto
My Strength Rating: 6

This is an attractively wrapped cigar. A good looking dark sun-grown wrapper and the black and copper colored ring bands just scream – SMOKE ME!

The cigar starts off with some nice roasted coffee notes. A soft and slightly sweet pink peppercorn profile takes hold and is maintained through-out the smoking experience. There are some burnt dark chocolate and medium roasted coffee notes. By mid-point I am picking up a woodsy note. It is coming across like oak. The oak seems to overtake the sweet pink pepper taste. The mouthfeel is rich and balanced. The texture is smooth yet, has a nice spice presence from the pink peppercorn like quality. I find this a very enjoyable smoke.
