Smoking Experience

The 6" × 52 Torpedo concentrates flavors through its tapered head, providing a more focused draw than the Toro or Churchill formats. The cigar opens with creamy cedar and sweet hay notes, followed by toasted nuts and mild coffee. As it progresses, subtle white pepper and woody nuances emerge while maintaining a remarkably smooth and elegant profile. 

The Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper keeps the smoke mellow and approachable, while the Nicaraguan core adds depth and balance without excessive strength. Expect approximately 60–75 minutes of smoking time.
