The Sharpshooter: Mastering the Torpedo Format

The Torpedo (6 1/8 x 52) is often called “the aficionado’s shape” for a reason: It puts you in control. Unlike standard parejo (straight) cigars, the tapered head of our Torpedo serves a functional purpose—it funnels the smoke into a concentrated stream, intensifying the flavor profile of our 100% Nicaraguan Long Filler (Tripa Larga) tobacco.

The Geometry of Flavor

While the foot of the cigar starts with a generous 52 ring gauge for a cool ignition, the smoke condenses as it travels toward the pointed tip. This “funnel effect” means that the flavor of our authentic Cuban seed evolves and intensifies with every inch you smoke.

• The Draw: You decide the airflow. A shallow cut gives you a tighter, richer draw. A deeper cut opens up the airflow for a cooler smoke.
• The Burn: The 52 ring gauge at the foot ensures the “ligero” leaves (the strongest tobacco in the center) burn evenly, preventing the tunneling issues common in thinner figurados.

Choose Your Wrapper: How the Torpedo Changes the Taste

Because the Torpedo concentrates the smoke, the choice of wrapper (Capa) is critical. Here is how this shape interacts with our different blends:

• Connecticut (The Creamy Focus): Usually mild, the Torpedo shape concentrates the Connecticut’s vanilla and cedar notes, turning a “mild” smoke into a “medium” flavor bomb without the harshness.

• Habano (The Spicy Kick): If you love the signature Nicaraguan spice, this is the choice. The tapered head directs the Habano’s white pepper and leather notes straight to the tip of the tongue.

• Maduro (The Sweet Spot): The dark, oily Maduro wrapper delivers notes of dark chocolate and espresso. In a Torpedo format, this sweetness is amplified, creating a dessert-like finish on the palate.
