Quick Smoke: Torres Figurado Doble Capa

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

I love it when cigar shops produce and sell small-batch house blends that you can’t find anywhere else. Such is the case with the Torres Figurado Doble Capa, a barber pole cigar made by Alex Torres of The Cigar Room in Austin, TX. The Dominican puro sports excellent physical properties and an uncomplicated flavor of damp earth, leather, and cedar spice. Give the shop a call if you’d like to try one.

Verdict = Buy.
