"It took 40 years of exile for the Toraño family to develop the cigar to commemorate their saga. When the Cuban government nationalized all tobacco farms and factories in 1959, the Toraño family was among those affected. They were forced to relocate their base of operations elsewhere to pursue their passion of making great cigars, a passion that continues unabated to this day. Testament to their passion is the fact that the Cuban style cigars that are made in the Toraño factories in Honduras and the Dominican Republic are thought by experts to be the kissing cousins to the best coming out of Cuba today. All the magnificent tobaccos comprising the Exodus 1959 have been aged a minimum of two years. With its five-country blend of fabulous long filler tobaccos from Dominican Republic, Honduras, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua, its select Honduran binder, and the renowned Habano 2000 wrapper, the Toraño Exodus 1959 is truly a world class cigar. No less an authority than Cigar Aficionado rates Exodus 1959 at 89, their highest rated non-Cuban Churchill. They think 89 we think 99! We think you’ll agree. As a little kicker to sweeten the deal, when you purchase a box of Exodus 1959, you’ll receive a nicely presented Limited Edition wooden-boxed four-pack of 5-3/4 x 50 Perfectos worth $25. " |
