El Mejor Emerald Torpedo Video
This 6.5×54 stick offered a loose bound foot with no wrapper on the last inch or so, and came in a cedar sleeve. It gave some interesting flavors directly after the light, with a very loose draw that came up to a normal resistance once the burn point hit the full wrapper section. Flavor was medium bodied offering a mild complexity of smooth and rich wood, hints of sweetness and pepper at points. Burn was good, needing a couple minor touch-ups and the draw was on the loose side overall. The finish changed from the first half to the last, getting shorter and cleaner as it went. http://cigarobsession.com/2009/08/19...-cigar-review/

Re: El Mejor Emerald Torpedo Video
I was quite surprised at how good these were. Not great, but definitely good. My Grandpa is the king of cheap smokes and he usually gives me a couple of each purchase he gets to try out. I was expecting these to be dog rockets, but instead I found them to be a good, flavorful smoke. Lots of cream with a bit of pepper. For the price they are definitely worth checking out.

Thanks for watching everyone!
I was surprised about them too, I had never heard of them and didn't know anything except the ballpark price, so I had low expectations.

Re: El Mejor Emerald Torpedo Video
They're a great cheap smoke. I think it's a little unusual for cigars that cheap to be individually dressed in cedar, too.
