Review Notes: After not really much time in the humidor this stick has picked up the pace. Lesson learned: “Don’t make harsh decisions on cigars without a little rest before lighting.” The second time around this cigar is different than two months ago with two exceptions. "It’s still ugly as hell and the burn could be better." If the burn were better the taste which has become creamy smooth and earthy flavorful would most likely improve even more. It will be interesting to see if this sticks future mimics Scottys experience with the torpedo. If so I have three more in the humi and better get smoking before they turn to s_ _ t.

Review Notes: After reading the CI catalogue about this cigar I was excited as hell to see it come to the door. Couldn’t wait more than a day or two to fire this baby up and enjoy a 93 rated treasure. Yuk! Naaa that’s to strong….Yuk! There that’s a little better. I was disappointed. First it looked like someone had dyed the damn thing and the construction on the 1st two I opened was anything but good. It was spicy at first and maintained a chemical taste for the first inch or so then smoothed out to a truly forgettable smoke. My problem is I have four more of these things in the humidor and can’t believe for a second that they will get THAT much better. Guess we’ll find out. Burned uneven, smoke wasn’t bad but the ash was a dirty dark grey color and flaky. Can’t recommend these at all.
