FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Miami,
FL) February 6, 2012—Torano Family
Cigar Co. is happy to announce Timothy Hudson as the grand prize winner of
the month-long Torano-Arrington wine fridge contest. This contest saw 25 lucky
winners walk away with a Torano branded stainless steel wine fridge and the
grand prize winner being awarded a weekend trip to Nashville, Tennessee to
visit Arrington Vineyards.

Timothy Hudson of Allentown, Michigan, who is an avid fan of Torano brands, heard about the Torano-Arrington contest and decided to make a trip with his brother to the nearest participating cigar store, Jenuwine Cigar Factory Outlet in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Hudson was originally introduced to smoking cigars while playing cards with friends.  He quickly moved up to premium handmade cigars and notes that one of his favorites is the highly rated Torano Exodus1959. While at Jenuwine and having a smoke and sampling the  Arrington Vineyards-Torano Antebellum Private Barrel Reserve wine, Timothy entered the contest by purchasing a box of Exodus. Timothy was later excited to hear that he won the raffle for the stainless steel wine fridge and was about to get a bigger surprise after he was automatically entered to win the grand prize.

A few weeks later at Torano headquarters in Miami,
Florida, Torano Family Cigar Co. President, Charlie Torano, reached his hand into a drawing box and pulled out the
winning entry awarding the grand prize trip to Timothy Hudson. Timothy said
that he was floored when he received a call from Jack Torano. After gathering
his thoughts he could only laugh out loud as he remembered that he promised to
take his brother on the trip if he were to win. Timothy stated with a grin that
he would envision taking his girlfriend to Arrington Vineyards for a romantic
getaway, and then jokingly said that he spoke too soon by inviting his brother.
Jokes aside, he said that spending a weekend with his brother while smoking cigars
and drinking award winning wines is more than he could ask for.

The grand prize trip to Nashville, Tennessee will
be an all-expense paid weekend experience with the highlight being a VIP visit
to Arrington Vineyards complete with a tasting of their exquisite wines. Kip Summers, the winemaker and one of
Arrington Vineyards’ partners with Kix
Brooks (of Brooks and Dunn fame), will lead the tour and wine tasting. Also
on the agenda will be a gourmet lunch on the outdoor bistro tables overlooking
75 acres of sheer beauty. Timothy will enjoy some of Torano’s finest cigars as
they are joined by Charlie Torano
himself. The experience of smoking some of the finest cigars, while sipping on
award winning wines, will surely be a treat for any true cigar & wine enthusiast.
