Perdomo Fresh-Rolled Torpedo

borndead1 · 04-18-2009, 12:30 PM

These come in big wheels of 50 at CI.

Great cheap smokes, man. Well constructed, good draw, really nice flavors and aromas for a sub $2 stick.

These are one of those cigars that have that "signature" Nicaraguan flavor. I can't really describe it, but I know it when I taste it. It's a deep, rich, spicy flavor that I can taste in a lot of premium Nicaraguans like Pepins, Tats, Oliva Vs, etc.

Lots of subtle flavor changes in these. Spice, butter, floral, wood... all as a sort of backdrop behind that big, bold, dee-lish NICARAGUAN TOBACCO flavor.

These are not as "fuerte" as, say, Tatuajes or the bolder Pepins, but man, they pack A LOT of flavor for under 2 bucks!

Been wantin to try some of these, but putting off buying 50 of something that I'm not sure I like. I'll try to get a fiver off c-bid.

Don Fernando · 04-18-2009, 04:59 PM

G G · 04-18-2009, 05:06 PM

Thank you for the good review and answering the question I have had for a while. I may pick up some after I move. I really need a good quality cheapie.

Awesome. These have been on my radar for a long time now, but as others have said, I didn't want to pull the trigger on 50 of something I wouldn't like.

Thanks for the review!! it brings these back to the top of my list for a knock-around summer smoke.

Homebrewer · 04-19-2009, 09:14 AM

Thanks for the review. I knew nothing about these.

I ordered a wheel of the robustos about 3 weeks ago and I was pleasently suprised how good they were. I've been smoking 3 or 4 a week and they are now at the top of my cheap sticks list.

BeerAdvocate · 04-19-2009, 10:45 AM

LOVE THESE! My favorite budget smoke. I wish I had room for 50!

I got a wheel of robustos last summer. Smoked one right off the truck and it was amazing. I use them as a golf cigar cause its not bad when you forget one on the cart or burns bad. I was surprised how good they were.

Sorry for the large picture
