Smoke Breakdown

First Third (0-25 minutes)

Cold draw gives sweet hay and pencil shavings. The initial puffs deliver roasted almonds and cedar, with white pepper sparkles on the retrohale. Medium smoke output, tight ash that holds 1.5" before dropping.

Mid Section (25-50 minutes)

Creaminess builds like café con leche. Dominican earthiness emerges, balanced by caramelized sugar sweetness. Watch for irregular burn lines - a quick touch-up keeps flavors honest.

Final Stretch (50-75 minutes)

Leather and black pepper take charge. Final inch brings baking spice warmth with minimal bitterness. Nicotine kick stays mild - no head spins even on empty stomach.

Torpedo Alternatives

  • Montecristo White Toro (6"x50) - Lighter body, pronounced floral notes
  • Hoyo Excalibur Epicure (6"x50) - Extra sweetness, rum pairing champion
  • Perdomo 10th Champagne (6"x54) - Buttery texture, vanilla-forward profile
  • Oliva Serie O Toro (5"x50) - Nicaraguan power with cocoa depth

Pro Tips

Store tubes upright to prevent wrapper damage. Let rest 3 weeks after shipping - the San Andrés binder needs time to mellow. Pair with oolong tea to enhance the nutty characteristics. Rotate every 4 puffs for optimal combustion.
