G.A.R. Rico Grande Torpedo

Nice review. My local guy got these in last summer, and he put them up for a nap after trying them, not liking the flavor. He pulled them back out late in the fall, and really liked them. I tried the CG's and loved the flavor. Bought a box after that. One thing I did note: my box had the beginnings of a mold issue. I emptied my box, wiped all the sticks down, and cleaned the box real good and dried it out a day or so, before setting it all back in the general population. I gave my local a warning about this, after looking at his open boxes and seeing the beginnings there, and he took care of it. My box was still sealed in the original cello. Not sure if it was his issue, or from GAR.

Great cigar, nonetheless. Fantastic flavor to them.

Another excellent review D!

I smoked my GAR fairly soon after receiving it from Tower. A really nice smoke, quite different from the rest in the Gran Habanos line, much fuller bodied IMHO.
