Thompson Corojo Cubano 6x52 Torpedo $2.00
Construction: Wrapped just about right- maybe slightly loose. The Honduran Corojo wrapper is almost maduro brown, slightly veiny, no sheen. Well made crown. Average over-all in appearance. 3
Lighting: The crown cuts nicely, no unwrapping. Lights easily and perfect burn. Ash is very attractive slightly grayish white- looks great against the Curojo wrapper. Developed one inch ash easily. Burns perfectly for entire length of cigar. 5
Flavor: Medium cigar, nice chocolate/coffee taste, slightly herbal, but not unpleasant. Thouroughly enjoyed the cigar, though I’m not ecstatic. Smoked it to a stub with perfectly consistent flavors! Very good cigar. 4
Comments: I’ve smoked three of these now, and they were consistently good. Right now it’s one of my favorite cigars. When I bought these from Thompson's in 12/07, I got two bundles of 25 for $49, so actually paid under $1 a piece! I plan to age them awhile in my humidor to see how they taste in a few months. Looking forward to some good summer afternoon smokes!
