Robusto No. 4: 5 1⁄2 x 54

Toast Across America Torpedo: 6 1/2 x 52 (Sampler Pack exclusive)

I smoked the Torpedo, which came in the Toast Across America sample pack, which also includes Arturo Fuente Don Arturo Aniversario Destinal al Siglo Torpedo of the same size (6 1/2 x 52). While I did get some notes of cedar and sweetness in the background, there was a burnt toast flavor that I just couldn’t get over. This does have just about a year of age, and was mild even with the very dark wrapper. This cigar is not for everyone, the flavor is very unique and not in my wheelhouse. Its tough to even rate this a try one, as for $25 you are either going to love it or hate it. If you like your toast burnt, give this a shot.
