For a cheap smoke though, these beat a vast majority of the competition. Very different from what you'll normally get.

Some rollers use it to "close" the roll at the end before lapping the tip. Very good inexpensive smoke. the sweetness at the tip is a ground liquid made from sugar cane and water.

Nice flavor that I'd rate as medium...maybe a little mild. I kind of enjoyed the sweet tip, while it lasted (wasn't long)and then got to really enjoy the smooth flavor of this cigar. I found myself wanting to concentrate on the smoke to do it justice. I paired it with a nice iced Latte and really enjoyed my time arond the grill. I'll definately be bying more of these when I have room. I bought one of these in a robusto size about a year ago for like $1 on a closeout deal...just smoked it tonight, and it was great!

Don't let that stop you from buying a bundle (The Petite Torpedo is a mainstay in my humidor). As noted above, they are good right off the truck, but it's best to let them rest in your humidor a couple months. The Natural (Sumatra), reviewed here, have a sweetened tip by design.

They are now available at TexCigars. These are great bundle sticks. I am willing to bet the sweet substance was just excess pectin or vegetable glue used in the construction. Sometimes this is done with the bundle sticks or short filler cigars (not that this cigar is short filler) to mask the harshness of the cigar and to appeal to some people that chew their cigars.

Picked up a couple with my usual weekly purchase. I killed it in three ashes, down to the label. Better than a yard gar, and may deserve a place in my humidor. Ha Nice Smoke.

I have been looking for a cigar I could afford to smoke regularly and still enjoy. Looks like I have found it. Just picked a few of these up to try.
