Top 5 Torpedo Cigars of 2021

Over time I’ve grown a certain fondness for all different types of cigars. One cigar that stands out above the rest, at least by the looks of it, is the Torpedo cigar. Torpedo cigars, also referred to as “pyramid cigars” may be a bit tough to cut and smoke at times, but that’s all apart of the allure of Torpedo cigars. The shape and construction of a Torpedo cigar provides a plethora of complex flavors that hit the palate differently than a Robusto or a box-pressed cigar.
