I was in Key West last Tuesday as one of our port of calls on a cruise. This was one of the shops I happened to buy a few cigars from. As I understand it, all of the cigars use a Dominican base and blended with different varieties of aged Honduran. Natural wrapper leaf is Ecuadorian Connecticut, and the Maduro wrapper is Honduran. I smoked a natural torpedo a few days ago and it was a decent smoke. It was a smooth cigar, somewhat non descript as it didn't do anything for me one way or the other. I wouldn't quite put it in the yard cigar category but it was close. I'm looking forward to smoking the Toro as they tout it as being strong, stout and bullish.
I picked up 4 of the toro's, torpedo's, and King Conch in both natural and maduro. Will prob let them rest for a few months before smoking another one. My initial take on this cigar after smoking only one is that it is a decent cigar but over priced. I think I paid around $8.50 for the torpedo I smoked. Again, not that it was bad (the torpedo), nice and smooth for an afternoon cigar but should be priced in the $4 range.
I'll post again when I try the King Conch (diademas) as its suppose to be the most flavorable. At $11.75 each my expectations are low that it will live up to the price range but we'll see.
