"Good Cigar"
If you're into Acid Cigars, you'll like this one. In my humble opinion, I'd call this a toned down version of the Kuba Kuba. Sweet wrapper, aroma from the 'essential oils'.
Not as strong as the Kuba Kuba.

"Who Knew Dirt Tasted So Good!"
Drew Estates is well known for its eccentric collection of botanical flavored infused cigars. The Natural line of cigars offers smokers and Drew Aficionados a milder alternative to their more aeromatic and flavored lines. It is important to note, however, that the Natural Dirt Torpedo, is not an entirely "natural" tasting cigar, it is still flavored, although not as heavily. The Natural Dirt Torpedo is well constructed and has a tappered head with a handsome pointy end. The cigar has a beatutiful, slightly oily dark wrapper with a fine tooth. Upon the nose, this torpedo has a delicious and appetizing sweet, earthy prelight aroma. The prelight draw is very good, a bit on the loose side, and upon the lips the prelight taste is sugary and nutty with hints of hazelnut, vanilla, chocolate and coffee. Although this is advertised as being a more natural tasting cigar, the wrapper was dipped or infused with some sort of flavoring or sweetner. The vitola lights well and burns evenly with very aromatic, sweet smoke. Despite its prelight impressions, this cigar does smoke a bit more "natural" tasting than the other Drew Estate lines. I'm not certain if the filler tobaccos are imbued with any flavorings like the wrapper. Considering Drew Estates habit of using cryptic names and descriptions, I'm not sure we'll ever know for sure what's flavored and with what ingredients they're flavored. My personal impression, is plenty of hazelnut, caramel, and hints of spiced chocolate with notes of earthy coffee bean. The cigar smoke was light-medium with a smooth, creamy mouth-feel. The taste and aroma, although flavored, were refined and subdued, not at all too strong or overwelming. In fact, it was a perfect blend of natural tobacco aroma and taste with a subdued and refined sweet, nutty flavoring. I never thought "hazelnut" would be a word I'd be using to describe a cigar I like, but this one is a winner and I recommend it to anyone looking for a flavored cigar that is not too over-flavored and that still has some of its underlying tobacco flavor shining through. Who knew dirt tasted so good!

"My new favorite!!!"
It's got everything I like in a cigar. I like to mix it up-sometimes I like something woody or nutty tasting, and sometimes I like something sweet...so I pull out a dirt torpedo!

"MISLEADING DESCRIPTION"
If you are selling a flavored cigar, it should say so in a CLEAR worded description. The sweetend tip of this cigar is unbearable. I have 3 more of a 5 pack to go. I recommend cutting the entire tip off of this smoke. It does calm down that "SWISHER" sweet effect. Im not disappointed in the cigar itself. As most of the Drew line, it is a well built high quality smoke. However being misled to think its a maduro with a sweet finish, is unacceptable!

"To me, a GREAT cigar"
I really enjoy natural dirt torpedos- rich, well balanced with hints of mocha. A nice cigar.
