Initial Impressions
Appearance: 90
“This torpedo features a nice looking light brown wrapper with barely notable veins.” -Jason (bigslowrock)
Aroma: 94
“This cigar has a very nice intoxicating honey smell to it.” -Craig (WyldKnyght)
First Third
Flavor: 91
Strength: Mild-Medium
Body/Complexity: Medium
“A creamy leather taste at the start followed by a hint of coffee and light toast on a base of cedar. Decent smoke production, although the ash dropped around the 1/2 inch mark.” -Gregg (McGreggor57)
Second Third
Flavor: 91
Strength: Medium
Body/Complexity: Medium
“The chalkiness dissipates and leaves a dominant woody cedar profile. There is a light pepper spice present but it’s faint and accompanies the cedar well. The flavor is smooth on every puff.” -Will (Dubv23)
Final Third
Flavor: 92
Strength: Medium
Body/Complexity: Medium
“The wood is picking up in strength as the cigar progresses. My personal preference is that the spice picks up in this manor but the wood tends the be the dominant flavor showing the most character. The spice is still present bit still faint and playing a secondary role to the woody profile. This stays consistent through the retrohale as well.” -Will (Dubv23)
Overall Impressions
Draw: 91
Burn: 92
Construction: 89
Overall Strength: Medium
Overall Body/Complexity: Medium
Overall Experience: 90
“I found this a very enjoyable smoke. Nice flavors that were balanced yet had a nice complexity. Depending on the price and age of this cigar, I could see it being put on my list for a box purchase in the future.” -Jason (bigslowrock)
“Overall a good cigar, but very one dimensional. Not something I would probably hunt down or smoke again.” -Craig (WyldKnyght)
Smoking Time (in minutes): 80
Total Score: 91 (Very Good)
