Quick Smoke: MBombay Gaaja 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.”

This light brown extension to the original well-received MBombay Gaaja Toro is a subtle, complex delight. It’s generally medium-bodied, featuring a honey sweetness and gentle spices with bits of tea and nuts. An Ecuadorian hybrid wrapper and filler that includes Peruvian tobacco helps the Gaaja stand out. At $15.50, it’s an expensive smoke. But it’s one I recommend you consider the next time you want to splurge.

Verdict = Buy.
