Quick Smoke: Pedro Martin Corojo Torpedo

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.”

Touted as an all-Corojo cigar, this relatively new line from Martin Family of Cigars definitely starts with a snap. The first half is a flavorful smoke with the strength associated with corojo, though the strength can overwhelm the flavors at times. In the second half, the voltage goes down, as dark wood and tobacco tastes dominate. Construction is generally good, though I did find a large stem in one, but it caused no real problems. If you like corojo or just want to check it out, this one’s well worth a try.

Verdict = Buy.
