Other's reviews (None found, searching the Reviews Forum)

Smoke: Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 50years ~ Robusto
Drink: Bear Republic ~ Racer 5 IPA; Yuengling Lord Chesterfield Ale
Tunes: Stevie Ray Vaughn ~ Assorted

Wrapper: Brazilian Arapiraca
Binder: Honduran
Filler: Nicaraguan
Draw: Medium
Burn: Perfect
Misc: Goes for about 60+

Pre-light: Nice construction, a little veiny. Dark brown wrapper. Double copper band (Personally, I think this is the sharpest looking CT band, not that it matters) Very sweet / rich tobacco scent. Leathery, non spicy prelight flavor.



Light: Easy. Medium draw

1st 3rd: Rich. Full body & full flavor. Nutty, woodsy, and a bit spicy. Oily mixed in too. Definetly reminiscent of a regular ’59, but with more oomph. Nice.



Ash: Charcoal black and light gray mottled with excellent stacking. Holds on for 7/8”



2nd 3rd: Still got some spicy going on. Oil and leather with a very nice balance. I’m impressed. Pairs good with the IPA (which I just finished.) Good woodsy notes with a slight sweet tobacco ring.



3rd 3rd: Oily. Sweet tobacco and woodsy / spicy. Yummy.



Overall impression: Nice. Might have to fire up the split thread to split a box of these.

Nice. I'm game for a split. Famous has them plus two other sizes.

Hex - you carry these?

Great smoke. I had one last June/July and the label was hand written with only the Liga-# and Exodus on it that came in a 5-pack sampler at a CT event. I wanted to save it but it looked too luscious. Good review Will. Thanks.

Thanks for the review! I think I'll have to get a fiver of these. They sound good and I'm a fan of the normal Exodus 59.
