Brad, where can one go to pick up some of your cigars? Are you in anyway connected with the whiskey? Sorry if you get asked that a lot.
Yeah

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown

I received a trio of Robustos from Brad (very attractive sticks!), and I will be reviewing hopefully this weekend.

Three torpedos just aft of the bow in the starboard side. I'll tell you mullets about them when the smoke has cleared.
Jameson Short Torpedo
Gents. The smoke has cleared. I have smoked 2 of the 3 short Torpedos that Brad sent me.
Although I am grateful for having the opportunity to try them, it is what a rep should do.
Let me first opologize for being an Aries. A little out of my control, it is what I am, blunt, to the point, with a severe lack of tactfulness.
The Jameson Short Torpedo did not impress me. At all. The burn was fair but not unmanageable. The aroma/flavor started with a dry, grassiness that reminded me of a machine rolled stick. About midway the flavors did begin to make some appearance. I could denote a little pepper/spicyness but totally lacking the earthiness or body of an aged Dominican filler. Toward the end the flavors finally stacked up into what tasted like a re-lit stick that had been sitting cold for an hour. The unpleasant aftertaste remained for a while.
The second was worse. It was lumpy and of course did not burn evenly. Flavors were still, well, just not there. I know these are in the lower price range but I have smoked much better for less.
I am in no way condemning the Jameson line of cigars. This is only one of the series and there can certainly be a hugh difference. Also, only two cigars are not a fair measure.

Great reviews, guys. Sounds like most of you enjoyed the smokes. I appreciate all the honest feedback, even the criticisms. It only helps us improve!

Smoked my second Churchill today. Not quite as pepper-y as I remember the other one, but still very pleasant aroma. Only draw back was the draw, it was a little tough. Other than that, really good smoke.
Sounds like you need to work on that torpedo.
