This Dominican torpedo with an Ecuadorian sun-grown wrapper comes tube-packed for freshness. The 6x60 robusto format delivers a 75-minute smoke session with medium strength. I found the triple-seam cap held firm during cutting, and the Colorado maduro wrapper showed minimal veins after two months in my 65% RH humidor.
The cold draw released cedar and raisin notes. Initial puffs carried almond creaminess with white pepper retrohale. Burn line stayed even without touch-ups, producing medium-density smoke.
Dominican fillers surfaced at the 20-minute mark - damp earth and roasted coffee flavors dominated. Noticed slight tunneling that self-corrected. Ash held firm for 1.5" before first drop.
Last segment intensified with dark chocolate bitterness. Volcanic mineral notes emerged near the nub, though nicotine buildup required stopping at 1.5" remaining. Lingering cashew aftertaste lasted 15 minutes post-smoke.
The box-pressed roll felt slightly boxy in hand but drew smoothly. Cap required V-cutter for optimal airflow. Tube packaging kept wrapper intact during travel - smoked one after 48-hour rest post-shipping with no burn issues.
