The Torano Gold 1959 has been one of my go-to cigars for quite a while. After Torano was bought out the number of them here on Cbid seemed to diminish so I've been smoking fewer and fewer. I recently won a lot after a hiatus of several months and when I got them I was surprised to see an additional band on them that was labeled "Legacy". Anybody know what the significance of that is? Was it just added to what's left of the old batch or is it just marketing for a new production?

When General bought Torano in 2014, they discontinued several blends. Last year General reintroduced the Casa Torano, the Gold 1959, and the Gold 1959 50 years. These new 2018 releases have the "legacy" band to differentiate them from the old Torano stock.

So in other words, the Gold 1959s you have been smoking have been old, Carlos Torano blended cigars. The new ones you recently received are General's interpretation of the blend.
