I had the opportunity of reviewing the Exodus 1959 cigar a while back. That was a five country tobacco blend and it was an outstanding Cigar. Outstanding enough that I bought a box for my humidor. Today, Happy birthday to me. Today, I finally have chance to try the 50 year version. For those of you who don’t know, Carlos Toronto created the Exodus 1959 in honor of their families leaving Cuba.

It’s just a good all-around cigar with excellent flavors that can be smoked after brunch or after dinner. The Exodus 1959 original is also fantastic but if I had to choose between the two, I woul
