Quick Smoke: Toraño Exodus 50 Years Blend Box Press

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

This box-pressed robusto was recently added to the lineup of cigars that celebrate the Toraño family’s 50-year exile from Cuba. It produces cool tufts of smoke that taste of leather, cocoa, raisin, and black cherry. As with most Toraño cigars, this Brazilian arapiraca-wrapped beauty has outstanding construction. It’s a nice sub-$7 addition to one of the company’s finest blends.

Verdict = Buy.
