Carlos Torano Exodus Gold 1959
Vitola: Double Corona 7x50
Hello BOTL. This one is a little lengthy but it is what it is.
Silky satiny beautiful wrapper Carlos Toranos Exodus 1959 double corona it has a thick smell of half sweet bitter chocolate... nose exhale is definitely woodsy and this was the first few hits. I taste cocoa, nuts and wood.... HEAVY COCOA. Nose exhale reveals some spice right away like in the second hit. This tobacco taste good dammit. From what I understand the filler and binder are from five different countries. Satiny smooth velvety smoke tastes just like it looks. Luscious and leaves a good after taste in your mouth. WOW I love the feel and taste of this tobacco between my teeth, good amount of smoke drawing well. I have had these resting about seven months. Did I say the tobacco between your teeth tastes and feels good. I like the box pressed design of this double corona. The nose exhale is awesome, it must be this wrapper, the wrapper is velvety I taste heavy dark chocolate and cocoa and pure damn tobacco. This smoke has a real good review already. That is a huge intro and I am only in the first third. Definitely a strong medium, medium to full. It would probably hit the scale between medium and full. Definitely smooth to be so stout.,, rich, make sure you do not let your ash hang too long, it only hangs about an inch which is not the sign of a good cigar necessarily, but this is really smooth. Just slightly acidic, leaving a great taste in my mouth of bitter sweet cocoa, more on the slightly sweet side, reminds me of the old time Hershey's cocoa, in the old square tin, remember when you used to stick your finger in there to taste the chocolate? This wrapper is even that color.
Now I am starting the second third. More towards the dark dry Hershey's cocoa in the can, remember when your mom used to buy that one. this tastes like the best chocolate bar you have ever had in your life wrapped up in some high quality tobacco. Goes real well with the cappuccino that I am drinking. Getting more of a musky tobacco coming into the scene now, and the draw is perfect, and ten period. beautiful light gray ash, it seems to be hanging on a little better in the second third, the second third is kindly kicking my ass with goodness. This is real good I forgot how good these are. It is a little stouter now, and I can taste the acidic even more, more tobacco flavor coming out also. A Free hand grammar destroying amateur reviewer that is who I am. Like a painter with a brush I cannot stop for a comma or a period, please don't hurt me. mmmmm what a hit, stout tobacco, so smooth and just enough tongue tingle, what a great cigar. WOW finished my cappucino about the same time I finished the second third.
The third third begins...A good strong hit of nicotine. I am tasting a little more tobacco and the flavor described in the first third is still there and it has just gotten better and better. way more tobacco flavor right now. A lot of that cocoa has not disappeared, but gone into the background. I would recommend this cigar to anyone who likes a medium to full body cigar, no matter what your taste is. This cigar kicks royal butt, again I love this box pressed shape, it is the perfect size, it has been a complete pleasure to smoke this cigar from tip to butt. The ash is beautifully hanging on now. got to take a picture of that. [Insert lots of smoke picture here] =)

call the fire department the third third is exploding with smoke. Tobacco flavor all up in this cigar. Damn this cigar is good. This third third is just plain old good tobacco, getting a good nicotine hit/kick now. I cannot say enough about the draw, the draw is perfect. I swear i taste a leathery flavor taking over, leathery feel something, and the tobacco is getting stronger for sure nose exhale has changed, this cigar is changing big time more acidic now and I am starting to taste some kind of mellow spice. some kind of nut in there, what is that?? whew that is strong. (that is what my fiance said.) What do you taste I ask her. I taste strong acidic, and nut, and tobacco and a lot of spice. Wow it is strong now. about two inches left of this cigar and it is strong and so good, the cocoa is all but disappeared, it has turned leathery, tobacco and nutty.
