Nice reviews Andrew.
Yes, you did mix 'em up, but they're different shapes so it doesn't matter.
Torpedo - Valle Grande - http://www.cigar-smoke.com/catalog?c...RANDE%20CIGARS The price list here is $19.52 USD each, I paid $17 ea CDN for the ones I bought. The ones I smoked had just about perfect burn. Strength and flavour were good, but I don't think worth the cost (Friggin' Canadian taxes). If these were available in the States for like $80 / box, I'd buy a box
Robusto - It was actually out of a box of Puros Indios Maduro Rothschild (Robusto shape). I bought these after smoking a bundle of Roly's (P/I seconds) to see the difference. Some were nice, and some had a rough wrapper like the one I sent you. For some reason, I like the "rough" ones better. The feel of the wrapper kind of gives the feel some character, if that makes sense. Except for wrapper & construction, I saw or tasted no difference in the Roly's or the P/I, so I'll get the Rolys in Detroit for 1/3 the cost of the P/I's.
Like you, I do enjoy these as a daily smoke.
Glad you enjoyed 'em.
Thanks again.
Newf.
