Notes:

This was a really well constructed cigar. With a very big reputation. It was a gift and had been resting in my humidor for almost five months.

When I first fired it up I thought it had a slightly bitter taste and thought I was in for a big disappointment. But after about two minutes the bitterness went away and this cigar settled into a really good smoke. It was an easy draw, that gave up tons of thick, rich smoke. As I smoked it, it kind of reminded me of a lot of Cuban cigars that I've had. They seem to start out rough and then just keep getting better and better. That's exactly what this torpedo did. By the time I reached the half was point, I knew I was smoking a top notch cigar. Except for the first few minutes, it was smooth as silk. It had a good solid ash, burned even all the way down. I'd call the flavor on the medium side of mild. It was not a strong cigar, but it wasn't wimpy either. Overall a really satisfying smoke.
