Quick Smoke: Cordoba & Morales 19th Hole Torpedo

This cigar had been in my humidor for years, probably since I received it as a trade show sample. It features a dark Ecuadorian wrapper around Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. The Torpedo (which isn’t box-pressed, as later versions of this cigar are) features oak, chocolate, sawdust, and fresh cut grass. There’s a raw tobacco element. Construction is excellent but, at the end of the day, this cigar lacks balance.

Verdict = Hold.
