This line of Carlos Torano commemorates the exodus of many families from their native Cuba to start up their trade elsewhere. They took with them many of the secrets of growing, harvesting, and curing tobacco.
This particular cigar is a medium-bodied, full flavored smoke which is box pressed. The wrapper is dark Habano. The blend of long fillers contain Dominican, Mexican, Honduran, Costa Rican and Nicaraguan tobaccos.
While the wrapper is kind of rough and dry appearing, it did burn well with a speckled medium grey ash. What I really enjoyed about this cigar were the rich cocoa and roasted coffee aromas and nutty flavors through the entire cigar. The finish had a slightly bitter-sweetness that reminded me of bakers chocolate.
While not a masterpiece it would certainly make for a great everyday stick at a reasonable price of around $3.75.
On a scale of 1-10 I rate this cigar 8.4.
