Dunhill Signed Series Torpedo

[PeeJay]

I tried this Dominican cigar at the Dunhill shop alongside Mark who was having the Toro. A beautifully constructed cigar with a Connecticut Shade wrapper it comes in at 5.5" x 67 and interestingly enough these retail for almost the same price in Europe. I didn't get anything except tobacco off the wrapper and the draw was perfect as was the burn. It took me a long time to identify any flavours except a tannic taste but eventually I pinned it down to cedar with a very faint floral note. My enjoyment was inhibited a little by it being cut too short for me but once I had taken off another 2mm it smoked a lot better although it needed a few relights towards the end.
I know that Mark actually preferred his to the RASS he had in the morning but I won't be buying another. This is one NC that I didn't find better than a Cuban and the price is comparable.

Interesting that Mark preferred it to a RASS yet you didn't think much of it at all... It just goes to show how subjective taste is.

Yep...If you had told me that before I wouldn't have believed you, to be honest I won't be going for another one too soon but on the day I got a little more interesting flavours from the Dunhill. I do agree VTG it's all subjective isn't it.

Nice review, shame it wasn't up to much. I don't think Dunhill really want to be making cigars anymore!

What about if someone said that a Guantanamera was better than the RASS?

[Sgt_Banter]

Would that still be accepted as subjective?

I prefer RC Cola to real Coke and in many circles that would be blasphemy..... As they say "There is no accounting for taste."

I think JLPs are better than BHK

Its all about preference and palate and if someone got more out of a Guantanamero than a RASS then for them it would be better.

We get wagon wheels which are a single biscuit equivalent.

Crazy how a review on a cigar ends up discussing biscuits.

Another good review mate
