Got them in today. 12 DARK wrapper torpedos. No clue what line there from and its buggin me to high hell lol. A maduro I think. If so these will be my first maduros. Gonna smoke one tonight after I eat and Ill let you guys know what I think. Ill try and post pics of some if I can.

Right now they have pretty good contruction, (typical CAO), some wrapper and cap defects which is why there seconds I assume. Smell of earthy barn yard kinda smell (good kind, not cow shit and mud lol)

I'll give you all the details on the smoke later tonight

Ok, paired with Guinness lol

Burned pretty good. about 3rd left it got uneven but nothing to bad.
Burned kinda quick tho. about 45 mins. which seemed fast for around 6in and 50-52 gauge.
First 3rd. nothing strong. kinda med flavor and strength with earthy leather taste.
middle - some coacoa flavor with a earth finish.
last 3rd - a little spice, back to leathery earth taste again. got a little bitter around 2 in left and put it down there.

all in all not a bad smoke. really for $15 for 12 it was awesome lol but these seem to be great for seconds! gonna age a few since I got enough
