When this Cuban brand was launched in 1935, the world of Premium Cigars changed forever. Their #2 Torpedo became the world’s biggest selling cigar. I’ve had a few of them over the years and can honestly say they were ok. But that’s just me.
Altadis acquired this iconic name decades ago and began producing many sizes and styles available to all of us. This Original edition has remained a favorite of mine. The masterfully blended selection of pure Dominican fillers and binder are encased in a near perfect Connecticut Shade wrapper. These 90+ rated, beautifully made sticks yield a super smooth, medium bodied taste with just the right bit of spice letting you know their heritage. Pricey yes. Worth it, absolutely.
