Bahia Blu Torpedo Review

 

 Bahia Blu Torpedo Review

 9/26/2022

This is another cigar Ive had in my humidor for like a year and don't remember  where I got it, from some sampler.  I must note that this is a good looking cigar, I like the blue band and the shiny wrapper looks good.  It is a Nicaraguan cigar with mostly Nicaraguan tobaccos, which is my favorite of origins. It has a beautiful Corojo wrapper, which,in my experience, is not my liking. 

Upon lighting, I taste slight cedar and some slight sweetness. Draw is a little tight, but not bad. I smoke the first inch, transitioning slightly to more mild peppery flavors. Not bad so far. Definitely a mild cigar. Leaves a decent aftertaste of cedar and pepper in your mouth. But you got to puff it pretty hard to get the taste out of it. Holding its ash over an inch, it's burning good. Nothing wrong with this one, just a good mild smoke. Not burning hot or fast. This might be a great go to cigar for fishing or golfing. Too enjoyable and smokes too long for a lawnmower smoke, unless you have a rather large yard. 

I'm drinking a fine Rye whiskey with this one, which kind of drowns out the cigar's flavors. This one probably goes better with a good ale, like a Newcastle or a Margarita. 

Has a slight harshness, which is common for milder cigars trying to bring out it's subtle flavors.  Not bad though.  Might buy a 5 pack to keep for the rare fishing and golfing trips. 

And the price is right at about 3 bucks a stick. You can't go wrong here. 

Doesn't have much body, so buy this smoke on a late Friday night celebration. This ain't that cigar, but it does what a great mild cigar is supposed to do, it gives you maybe an hour of favorable smoking pleasure. Can't beat that for 3 bucks. 

Down to almost the last inch. Was starting to taste some toasted nuts, but starting to get slightly harsh. Still decent though. What do expect for 3 bucks? If you want more, throw it out and light another one. This is not the cigar for a full smoking experience, but does great for what is does. It delivers an hour of great mild smoking. Seems to be building more full smoke, a little hot, but still good flavors.  Finishing a little rough, having to squeeze it to tame it. A little bad aftertaste. I like to smoke to the nub, but this one is done. 

Overall a decent everyday smoke that doesn't disappoint. 

Overall: 88

Flavor 87, complexity 86, burn 90, experience 88, value 93.
