Gran Habano 3 Siglos Torpedo Cigar Review Video

[kaelaria]

This 6.1×56 dark chocolate stick offered a medium body experience with somewhat muted flavors. The wrapper and binder both had very pronounced veins giving one minor burn problem that required an early touch up. The remainder of the burn was not perfect but was self-correcting. Draw was on the loose side and worked well. Flavors of the first third were just a heavy tobacco with pepper on the finish. The 2nd third showed a bit more development with hints of coffee wood and leather but they very quickly dissipated to a mild pepper finish, leaving a heavy aftertaste. The last third got very warm and a little mushy, prompting me to end it just before the band point at 1:45. The one negative thing was the aroma of the smoke off the foot – it was pretty stinky at points and left my fingertips smelling of wet ashtray by the time I finished. Thanks to Shuckins for trading with me for this stick!

wow, it took you 1 hour and 45 minutes to smoke to, just before the band? Maybe that is why it had a aftertaste and mushy. That seems like a long time to only get through 2/3 of this particular cigar. I know I smoke probably on the fast side but over 2 hours for this smoke, I wonder how it can stay lit.

It had no problems whatsoever staying lit. I'm not a particular fast or slow smoker, I smoke each stick as it likes to be. With this particular one, it was probably every 30-45 seconds on average. 2+ hours sticks are getting pretty common. This one ran my laptop down to the warning buzzer!!

It had the aftertaste from the start.
