"One of The Few to Taste The Way It Looks"
These cigars taste very rich and full flavored. They look like a nice cup of dark coffee and that's exactly what they taste like as well. Finally bought a box of these after trying a few 5 packs.

"Nothing to write home about"
Great construction, nice draw, excellent in every respect except taste. There is nothing bad with the taste; just seemed exceedingly average to me.

"Most Excellent!!!"
Awesome smoke! Nice slow razor sharp burn, aromatic and creamy cocoa flavors from start to finish. All this and a price that's hard to beat. Never disappoints!

"Absolute enjoyment!"
This cigar is a keeper and an absolute joy. With a nice, slow, even burn and a creamy, aromatic, full-flavored smoke that leaves you "smacking" the palate, this cigar has easily become a personal favorite and is my choice as the perfect companion to a fine cup of coffee. Not a disappointment at all. Bravo, Torano!

"Terrific..."
I really enjoy the the Torano family of cigars, and the Exodus 1959 is my main smoke. This robusto, I think, is only bettered by the torpedo, being a little mellower than the double corona. Usually takes me about 45 very enjoyable minutes to get through it.

"GREAT CIGAR, GREAT PRICE!!!"
VERY NICE CIGAR. GOT IT IN A VARIETY PACK. I SMOKED IT 1ST BECAUSE IT EVEN LOOKED LIKE THE BEST IN THE PACK. ONE OF MY FAVORITE CIGARS IS THE PADRON ANNIVERSARIO 1964. THIS TORANO CIGAR IS VERY COMPARIBLE TO THE ANNIVERSARIO BUT IT HAS A LITTLE MORE KICK TO ITS FINISH. COMPARE THE PRICE AND YOU WOULD DEFINETLY CHOOSE THE TORANO. I WILL BE BUYING A BOX.

"Anyone seen my Punch Double Corona??"
I don't see what the big deal is with this one. It isn't bad, it isn't great, and the problem is that it tastes like 100 other cigars out there (even some bundles). Nothing about this one (as far as taste goes) impresses me. It looks great, with the chocolate brown, Cuban-pressed wrapper, and fancy collar. The draw was somewhat tight, and I had to work at it to get an average amount of smoke from what turned out to be a warm draw. To me, the only discernable flavor I detected was smoke, and towards the end, I got this mouth-numbing "chemical" taste. I seem to have hit or miss luck w/ the Torano brands - the Signature Maduro and Exodus Silver are 2 of my favorites, but I'm not a believer in this one or the 1916 Cameroon. Bottom line - for my tastes, there are better choices in the Habano/ sungrown wrapper, full-bodied blend segment of the cigar market.

"Now that's a cigar!"
I first smoked this cigar while enjoying a single malt in a Puerto Rican hotel, it is now my "go to" smoke. Long, slow draw, creamy cocoa flavor that makes for a great evening smoke. Mmmm.
