The price sheet I get from my distributor does not use the word "Gold" when describing the Exodus 1959's. It does use Siver to describe the Exodus 1959 Silver's and simply refers to the others as "Exodus 1959".

To further back this claim here is the product list from Torano themselves: http://www.torano.com/cigars.asp. As you can see the Exodus 1959 page makes no mention of the word Gold. However the Exodus 1959 Silver makes it perfectly clear that they are speaking about the Silver edition.

Anyone (including retailers) using the term Gold to describe the Exodus 1959's is IMHO doing so incorrectly and causing needless confusion.
