Review Notes: I had reviewed the Churchill size a week ago and just tried the Torpedo today. This stick didn't appear that old. On lighting I found the draw very loose and a very full body. The flavor wasn't strong but I got slight pepper and leather. This had a very nice light gray ash that held well with little to no flake. The body smoothed out about 1.5" in and at about half way the flavor had an odd tang to it for about an inch. After that it was more of just a tobacco taste to the nub the got very soft but never hot. I think I'll wait a couple of months to try another.
