I smoked this cigar a few days ago and I guess I had high hopes for it. At first glance it looks like a well constructed cigar but once I cut the cap and started smoking it the cap started to come off and it took a modification to fix it (which I believe shouldn't happen with any cigar). The burn was not even at all throughout the whole cigar. There was no taste in my opinion, all I tasted was straight tobacco. On all other cigars I have smoked the ash falls off after about 2-3 inches but the ash on this cigar fell off every inch which I did not like. I kept the cigar in my humidor for about 1-2 weeks prior to smoking. This cigar is also very mild. The cigar is worth a try at a cheap price and if you are curious about it but I would not recommend it if someone asked me. I was hoping this cigar could be a light daily cigar but I was mistaken. Try a Cusano CC it's about the same price (maybe even cheaper) and definitely better in my opinion. less

This cigar has been my favorite for years. "Has" is the operative word. I am weary of the draw that isn't or is to hard. My experience with this cigar spans several years about 5 bundles per month. In the beginning I tossed 2 or 3 from a bundle now I am tossing at least 25%. I will try something other than the torpedo if that doesn't work ??? less

I bought a bundle from my cigar shop since he was out of my regular ones. They are more expensive, but much smoother. I think they also smoke quicker; but don't leave any aftertaste. They light well and evenly. I've read some reviews that really beat up on this cigar and this brand. I've not found the brand suffering. less

after no doubt a year, I pulled this thing out and fired it up only to have one great cigar experience. from some reviews i have read I suspect that folks just dont let these cigars rest enough. I have had some great cigars after letting them rest after not wanting to smoke them because of bad burn,flavor or my own bad attitude. My advice to new smokers is just relax and not try to force the cigar to be good, just let it rest and it just may come around for you and and be your friend less

- Not bad for the price, but they are a bit strong.
