I had one of these last night after work. I was feeling adventurous and let the B&M owner pick for me for an under $15 smoke. Paid $10 for it. Very nice and smooth. My palette is still immature but it was a very good smoke. Medium full in strength and body. First 1/3 was the strongest and fullest part of the cigar, wish it would've held up through out. Overall, very nice smoke. I would buy a box of these. :-)


The wrapper was very dark and oily. Good construction with no veins visible. Was a little soft to the touch. SMOKED LIKE A CHIMNEY!!


Anyone else?

The torpedo is one of my favorite smokes. I do buy them by the box. $10 is a good price for a single.

They tend to have some complexity to them. I really enjoy the flavors. Glad you do too.

However, it's def not a daily smoke. For that I choose the Vs.

I had the V and I wasn't very pleased with it myself. Again, I own a noob tongue.

Which vitola? I've noticed HUGE differences between vitolas in the V. Try the lancero (if you haven't already) I bet you'll love it. :-)

I don't remember which it was but it was a robusto/toro style.

Well that won't help too much since there is a dbl toro and dbl robusto.

Since you didn't like the larger RG, I'd give the lancero a try as Jim said....the flavor profile is different.

Wow...no wise arse comment...hell must have frozen over. :-)

Even the figurado smokes very differently from the other vitolas...worth a try as well.
