I’d heard very little about Canimao Cigars prior to getting a phone call from Mel Gonzalez the President & CEO. While I waited for the cigars to show up I did some searching around and found a review of them over on Stogie Review. A few days later a nice package of six Canimao cigars was waiting for me when I got home.
I’ve had a chance to try the Churchill, Double Coronas and Torpedos and so far I think the Torpedo seems to suit this blend best, so that’s what I’ll be reviewing here.
The cigar is good looking; it is finely veined with a heavy fill to it and slightly oily sheen to the Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. The construction is excellent; each one had a great draw. I picked up a faint woodiness and a touch of sweetness on the prelight draw.
These cigars all had a beautiful burn on them and a very solid gray ash. I missed the ashtray once and the ash was firm enough to pick up without falling apart. None of the five I tried really needed much attention as far as burn goes.
Flavor wise the cigar is very straight forward, starting off with a creamy smooth texture that with a leather note to it. About a third of the way in the cigar picked up some mild pepper notes and woody flavors. The pepper picked up gradually as the cigar progressed but never became overpowering.
Verdict: Overall I really enjoyed the cigar and it is about what I’d expect in this price range. If I had a shop locally that carried them I could see myself picking some up. A good cigar for those starting out or who enjoy milder cigars. You may also want to check out Tom and Ed’s Video review of this cigar on Stogie Review.
