The Legend
of La Sirena
In a recent expedition to Lake Nica-
ragua, which archaeologists feel was
once a large bay alongside the Pacific
Ocean, a discovery was made. On the
last day, in one of the deepest parts of
the lake, a cave with the treasures of
a mermaid was found. Among these
treasures was the Dubloon, a 7.25x56
Salomon. The name comes from the
Spanish coins that surrounded this
new, rare size. The rarest of all was
stamped with a distinctive “8.” These pieces of 8, the La Sirena Dubloon, come
packaged in an eight-count box, of which only 500 are available. They will make
their debut at the IPCPR show in Las Vegas. Like the Sirena “A,” they feature a dark,
toothy Habano Oscuro wrapper, two Cuban-seeded Nicaraguan binders, a Nicara-
guan Criollo ’98 d Corojo ’96, over fillers from Nicaragu (MSRP $12). Miami
Cigar & Company,
Toraño’s Newest
Exodus
Toraño Family Cigar Company is releas-
ing just 3,000 boxes of Exodus Finite,
their latest boutique cigar, a true puro.
Hand-made in Nicaragua, Finite’s blend
combines an all-Nicaraguan filler of Es-
teli, Condega and Ometepe tobaccos
with a Jalapa binder and Habano-seed
Jalapa wrapper. “Although the wrap-
per and binder are both grown in Ni-
caragua’s Jalapa region, the wrapper
is shade-grown viso and comes from a
higher priming, whereas the binder is
sun-grown seco and is among the first
leaves picked,” explains Bruce Lewis,
vice president of sales and marketing.
“This blending gives the medium-bod-
ied Finite its well-balanced character,
one that hints of roasted nuts, comple-
mented by a raisin-like sweetness. The
finish is long and features a cedar note.”
Finite (MSRP $8-$9) comes in three
sizes: 4 7/8”x52 Robusto, 6 1/4”x52
Toro, and the popular 6”x60 BFC. It
joins the company’s legendary Exodus
“Trilogy,” which began in 2001 with the
Toraño Family’s flagship cigar, Exodus
1959, commemorating the legendary
Cuban cigar families’ 1959 flight to free-
dom. Toraño Family Cigar Company
