With the weather finally warming up, that can only mean one thing - you can now smoke more cigars! Since a lot of cigar smokers will be picking up some bundles for their everyday summer smokes, I wanted to go with a bundle cigar this week. The Famous Nicaraguan 3K Torpedo isn't just any bundle cigar, it's just an awesome cigar. Made by one of Nicaragua's leading manufacturers, (who prefer to remain anonymous), these cigars boast superb quality and really put out in robust, spicy flavor.
The filer & binder consist of diverse Nicaraguan tobaccos (Estelí, Condega, Jalapa)
box-pressed inside dark, Ecuadorian-grown Habano wrappers. This cigar starts out with a spicy punch, then rounds out offering earthy, woody, and nutty flavors. The smoke is very smooth and well-balanced, which keeps these cigars from seeming too overpowering. Once you hit the halfway mark, the flavors begin to caramelize, becoming much spicier with a dash of espresso in the mix. The last act is all flavor bomb. Take your time with this cigar and you'll appreciate it much more, too.
If you're into milder cigars, you may want to pass on these, but if you're the adventurous type, go for it. Based on my experience, the Torpedoes will shed a little spiciness with some extended home aging.
Enjoy.
