The torpedo cigar is made with a Connecticut Broadleaf, Nicaraguan Binder and Jalapa Nicaraguan filler. This Maduro is a limited run of only 50,000 cigars a year.
This cigar fired up in a wonderful way. It started out with a nice spice flavor. It hit with power, but not overwhelming (not like the standard V). During the draw it had an earthy tone with a strong mixture of espresso. A wonderful mix. The aftertaste kept that espresso flavor with a nice bitter hint. Part of it reminded me of a strong green tea. Never had an aftertaste like that.
The construction was beautiful. The one I had had one blemish on it. None of the others did. This did not change the smoke at all. The wrap felt nice and tight. Also it had a nice texture. A little rough and oily. The draw was a little firm but the smoke was still good. The burn was nice and even.
This cigar would run $16.00 plus tax. For the limited production, that is not a bad price.
If you like the standard Serie V, try this one. It is different. Not so much the chocolate type flavors. This one has the spice and espresso but in a different balance that makes it unique.
Final Grade: A+
