Have a Cigar: Quorum Classic Torpedo

Chris KhatschLeave a comment

Name: Quorum Torpedo

Country: Nicaragua

Shape: Torpedo

Size: (6 inches x 52)

Strength: Medium to Full

So I tried another Quorum cigar. This time it was a torpedo and not a parejo. And this makes the Quorum Classic Torpedo my first torpedo cigar. I still prefer the parejo shape, but I can get used to the torpedo shape easily. This one was my first but not my last.

What I like about Quorum cigars is that they are very affordable. But unlike a lot of cheap cigars, they are flavorful and reliable. The value you get for the price you pay makes them great cigars.

The Quorum Torpedo is earthy and leathery with minute hints of chocolate. Like most medium-to-full bodied cigars, you can pair it with peated whisky. And that’s exactly what I did.

Casa Turrent Cuba Cigar Review

Have a Cigar: Casa Turrent Cuba

Name: Casa Turrent Cuba

Country: Mexico

Shape: Parejo

Size: Robusto (5 1/2 inches x 54)

Strength: Medium to Full

The Casa Turrent Cuba is a superior cigar, rich in flavor. I smoked it while enjoying Lebanese meze and arak with family and friends.

Before lighting the cigar, I could smell hints of caramel, salt, and pepper. The first and last few draws were somewhat peppery. The middle part was woody and nutty… and, of course, as smooth as can be.

Have a Cigar: Edicion Roja Cinco

Name: Edicion Roja Cinco

Country: Honduras

Shape: Parejo

Size: Robusto (5 3/8 inches x 52)

Strength: Medium

Earthy, smooth, with notes of caramel, coffee, and cedar… Deriving pleasure from the Edicion Roja Cinco cigar was easy business. It burned evenly and every draw was as good as the one before it.

Like it happens with most cigars that I like, I smoked it until there was nothing left to smoke.
