I'm looking for a small torpedo-shaped stick with similar dimensions to the Rocky Patel The Edge Missile (5x48). Holt's has something called Tropical Fever (4.5x46), but at $25 for 50, I'm not expecting that it's anything all that good.

Thanks folks,

Try the Fuente Sungrown Cuban Belicoso, a little bigger that what you're looking for (5.75 x 52), but at around $130 for a box of 24, is an excellent cigar for the price. If you can find it, the OpusX Power Ranger (4 5/8 x 49) would be my first choice. Good luck in finding them though.
 
So are you looking for a figurado or a missle?

Famous has a Rocky Cuban Blend in a petit beli in maduro that I like if you're talking missle like cigars.

If it's a fig your looking for, there's the hemingways, and then there are the others. One of the others that I have enjoyed lately is the Carlos Torrano Signature Series figurado.
 
Any reason you do not want the RP Edge Missle? Or are you just trying to try something different in that size? Personally I love the RP Edge Missle Maduro :love:
 
I've had the maduro before and I liked it. I just think torpedos are rad as hell, so if I can score a corona-sized smoke in a torpedo-shaped stick, that makes me happy.

Onyx Reserve mini beli, Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Mauro petit beli, Nording mini torpedo, not a torp but the chiselito maduros by LFD are nice, LFD El Jaco.

These are all I can think of right now other than the Opus xXx. Good luck :)
 
My bad, when I think of figurado, I think mostly along the lines of perfecto.

This from cigarcylopedia:

For the purposes of classification, the cigar models of the 1,206 brands profiled have been separated into these 20 major groups. With the great increase in shaped cigars, here are our classification criteria for figurados:



● Culebras, which is made up of three small cigars twisted together. This shape has returned to the U.S. market and a few manufacturers have this unique shape available.



● Perfecto, which has two tapered ends. Until recently, there were just a few cigars which offered Perfecto “tips” on the foot, but true Perfectos have made their comeback. For the bold, take a look at the Puros Indios Gran Victoria (10 inches long by 60 ring) to see a true “pot-bellied” cigar.



● Torpedo, which was traditionally a fat cigar with two fully closed, pointed ends, but has now come to mean a cigar with an open foot and a straight body which tapers to a closed, pointed head. This “new” torpedo was popularized by the Montecristo (Havana) No. 2.



The Torpedo differs from “Pyramid”-shaped cigars, which flare continuously from the head to the foot, essentially forming a triangle.
 
For the bold, take a look at the Puros Indios Gran Victoria (10 inches long by 60 ring) to see a true “pot-bellied” cigar.
