2004 Carlos Torano Exodus Perfecto

Country of Origin: Honduras

Wrapper Color: Dark Natural

Wrapper type: Unknown Nicaraguan

Filler: Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua

Binder: Honduran

Vitola: Box Pressed Perfecto

Humidimeter Reading: 65%

Environment:

Temperature: 79 degrees

Humidity: 30%

Wind: Intermittent 5 to 10mph

A 5.75x50 lightly box pressed perfecto with a fine, smooth texture, smooth but very short cap and a hard bunch.

Wrapper type, filler and binder are unsure and based on more recent Exodus 1959 Perfecto information which was all I could find.

Even burn, short, conical coal, white, strong ash and a very tight draw.

Good smoke volume with enough effort, and strong, fragrant aroma.

In the first third, it was of ample richness, perfect balance and generous flavors of earthy, woody and floral tastes and a nice floral finish, with a medium body and mild strength.

No sweetness, burn on the tongue or saltiness, but after the first third, a pronounced bitterness and sharpness developed.

Overall of poor character and just poor in general, with a final score of 71 out of 100.

The biggest factors that brought down the score were the very tight draw, pronounced bitterness and pronounced sharpness.

After the first third, the bitterness and sharpness overpowered any of the original excellent flavor.

Being a big Torano fan, I had high hopes, but ultimately couldn’t even finish it. Finally gave up towards the end of the second third.
