Continuing the theme of Philippine cigars, here is the 1881 torpedo. Larger ring gauge than I generally like, but the torpedo shape helps. burned pretty nicely, had a nice, mildly spicy flavor with a hint of Sumatra. Not what I remember from the Philippine cigars I had years ago, but still very tasty. I still have 2 brands to try, so the search continues!
Nice looking cigar Mike!
Are they made with Phillippines tobacco?
Thanks for the review. Glad to hear there are good cigars coming from there.
I believe they are made with Philippine tobacco, but they mat not be puros - there may be some Central American stuff in them as well. The website is not really clear. To me, at least ...Quote:
