Hacienda Rio, Torpedo, Oscuro

I have wondered the same thing. I have, on occasion, detected spice and coffee. I think. Or is it BS

This has been discussed on here, extensively.

Thanks Badwhale. Very informative. It is what I thought. I think those reviewers are using food terms to try and describe what they are teasing. I can certainly discern many flavors in a cigar but I can never identify them. I think it is better to be bale to tell where the wrapper comes from the soil etc. Just my 2 cents.

I haven't smoked the oscuro version, but the rest of the light wrapper line hasn't got much to talk about for flavors IMHO.

No doubt I taste the spice or peppery on my tongue and later, the back of my throat but that's about it. To me, that is the normal with every cigar. Some stronger than others.

Before lighting this Hacienda Rio, I did smell the cigar and it had almost a mint scent to it. Non of that when I smoked it.
Very pleasant cigar though.
