Smoke one and see for yourself.

What are a couple of smokes you would say are actually blended to be "peppery" as opposed to just having unripe tannins? I've smoked a few of the 5 vegas miamis. Frankly, the robustos have hit me as being what I would call peppery, though the torpedos have not. Do you think they're rolling the vitolas with different tobacco? I will say that it was several months between my smoking a robusto and my smoking a torpedo, so it could be a different crop.
