Carlos Torano, in my opinion, has always made an excellent cigar.  For whatever reason though, it is rarely in my humidor.  Maybe it is because their marketing is subdued.  I just don’t know.  I do know that whenever I have had one, it has been a pleasant experience.  That is when I picked up this 5-pack from Cigarbid.com, I knew I would be happy.     

Appearance: The wrapper is a maduro with a toothy appearance.  There is some oil to it and has some heft to it.  The Bronze colored label is very cool as well.    9/10

Construction: Well made, no flaws, soft spots or concerns.      10/10

Burn:   Flawless.        10/10

Aroma:  Prelight there wasn’t much.  Maybe some coffee.  Post light there some chocolate and more coffee.  8/10

Draw: Good.  No issues, just very consistent.       10/10

Flavor: Chocolate with a little bit of peat moss and soil.        8/10

Availability: I have not seen these in any locals but I know they can get them.  They are all over the internet.      8/10

Personal Overall Experience: Torano cigars remind me of a good friend.  Dependable, consistent and there when you need them.  The Exodus 50^th is no exception.  I really will try to make it a point to get more of these.      26/30

Total: 89/100
