Bucanero Red Torpedo Cigar Review Video

[kaelaria]

This 6×52 stick had a fairly ragged wrapper, showing stretches, holes and tears, with seams lifting up. It had a soapy tobacco aroma and a tan, satin leaf. The burn and draw however were not effected, both were very good all the way down with zero problems. Draw was just on the loose side and burn was pretty straight with just slight waves. Flavors were very plain, offering a very mild slightly musty earth from first light to the band, where a slight licorice came in on the finish. If you need a cheap simple mild stick, this is a good option, especially for the price. Total burn time was 45 min. This blend is sold only through cigar.com and cigarsinternational.com and has nothing to do with Bucanero Cigars other than them using the name on the band. It is a short filler hand made blend.

Thanks for the review and pics! I do hate that type of name confusion, though.

Thanks for the review, sir.

I bought a bundle of 25 of these for $15 from Cigars International. I intended for them to be my "give-outs." However, as soon as anyone got about an inch into them, they found the Bucanero Reds to be offensive to their taste buds. Needless to say, I had a hell of a time getting rid of the rest of the bundle.

The mustiness is definitely a love it or hate it taste, that's for sure.

Talk about going from Hero (Padron Anni Torpedo) to goat!

I know this is not a great smoke but for a morning smoke it is a great value smoke. It is not an everyday smoke but I still keepo these around.

Good review and I think I will stay away from these.
