Torpedo
6 1/8 x 52
Connecticut Wrapper
Note: Let's begin by saying that there is not much information out on these cigars as of yet. They are being sold on line by Habanos y Hermanos out of Florida, and their web page has limited information on them too. Though not a big deterrent for me when buying cigars, I do find it a bit annoying when trying to effectively discuss a specific brand or vitola with others. That being said, the first of these reviews There will be four total is on the Torpedo. We have opted to take a new approach to the reviews in that we are doing a joint review so you the reader get several opinions on the same vitola at the same time and we the reviewers are not influenced by the reviews done by others.
Not too long ago I received a sampler of Pedro Estevez cigars, being sold by Habanos y Hermanos out of Miami, Florida. In this packet was a Torpedo. This looks like most other torpedos of the same a size nothing too outstanding on it, though the wrapper is a very nice wrapper with no blemishes or defects. The cap was a bit loose but that could have been due to handling and shipping nothing really outstandingly bad and not that it would matter as a cutter would fix this issue right off the bat.
The wrapper a standard connecticut wrapper of tea stained paper color, is a delicate thin wrapper with minor veining. The prelight scent is brothy and very lightl hint of pepper. This almost brings to mind the start of a fresh vegetable soup in the making. In the back of the scent is an ever so light suede hint.
The cigar is fairly lightweight, so it is not a densely rolled cigar. The draw is a nice easy draw with a straw flavor with hints of leather, proving the roll is not a densely packed roll. The draw also distributes an undertoned sweetness overall.
The cigar burns nice and even almost laserline to the end. The ash is nicely woven tight and firm with a light gray to white color. The smoke is a nice thick creamy smoke with hints of suede, light pepper and cedar with a touch of citrus and chocolate.
I would welcome any correspondence from HyH with further information on this vitola as I can only guess that the Connecticut wrapper is shade grown Ecuadorean with a Dominican Republic long filler binder and Olor filler. Very much comparable to the Fonseca Vintage line.
Billed as a bodied cigar this is a wonderfull lightweight main eventer, that I would seriously consider stocking for those times you need a break from the heavier full bodied smokes or to pass to friends and beginner smokers as it is not overly complex. At an average of $1.28 per stick this is a nice addition to those seeking a light everyday smoke.
