Gordito Torpedo
I never write reviews but this is one of the best cigars I have smoked. Perfect draw nice cocoa and coffee notes even burn with no touch ups. One of those cigars you keep looking at after you take a puff thinking damn this is good! Highly recommended for the beginner to the cigar world or an old pro looking for something a little different.

I have smoked several of the EMS version of this cigar and it is my go-to cheap cigar. The flavor is good as is the construction and burn. Since I am a Maduro fan I figured I would love this one. I am on the second 5-pack of these and I have yet to have one that burned right. Not one of the Maduros has been a positive smoking experience since I spend the entire time fixing wonky burns canoeing and constantly re-light them. Most of the time I end up putting them out by the half-way mark and grabbing something else because I just get sick of dealing with them. I thought maybe I got a bad batch w. the first 5-pack but I am on the 3rd stick from a second pack and it's the same problems. Plus I think the ultra dark wrapper is TOO dark making them taste charcoal-ish and one-note that note being BURNT. I am actually TRYING to smoke one right now. I just set it down to finish my thought here MAYBE 30 seconds and it has already gone out!! I mostly smoke Maduros but with these I will stick w. the EMS version. Gonna go grab an enjoyable cigar right now. This one didn't even make it to an inch in before I'm just done. I've smoked a LOT of different cigaea and I have never had such a disappointing cigar experience. This is bull.

Way back in 1997 I ordered two boxes of the fat boy torpedo. Which are very good cigars. One box of the two had a mold issue. I e-mailed Martin describing the issue. This is back when JR had a forum. Mr. Mayorga mailed me two boxes of torpedo and a bag of his delicious coffee. I will never forget how he went above and beyond. He has a passion for making a great smoke and has impecable customer service. Martin is a true gentleman.

I just had to leave another feedback on this stick. I am blown away by the flavors this little guy has. Spice at light up. There's a very very light hint of sweetness i cannot put my finger on. Almost like a fruit sweetness. Also pine nut and leather. A very complex cigar. At this price you CANNOT go wrong. I will always keep these around and probably hoard them.

I have smoked a lot of cigars from $0.80 JR's to $50 Opus X or Habanos on the golf course and my back porch. Of course I don't waste the more expensive ones by smoking them on the golf course. These were probably among the WORST cigars I've ever smoked. First 1/3 tasted like ash and the about halfway through cigar got so hot down the entire length my fingers were burning. Threw it out. Tried again about a week later and same thing except I dumped this one a bit earlier and had enough time to light another for the rest of my round. Fortunately I only bought a 5 pack and they were cheap.

This has an airy draw and is a quick smoke about 30 minutes and is in the full flavor side of things. It billows with smoke. I smoke about a dozen stogies a week and this has a nice placement in the sense that I will go from mild to stronger smokes during a day. This cigar is on the stronger flintier more leathery flavored cigar that I will go to at the end of the night. Always smooth with a sweet Nic character that lovers of Nic tobaccos will understand. Don't hesitate to buy this one because it's a good one that will earn a regular reliable place in your box if you are a connoisseur of good cigars. Don't be put off by the price this is just a well-priced excellent cigar.

I'm always on the hunt for 4 things:
1. easy draw
2 . good burn
3. thick smoke
4. good flavor
The first three are a necessity. The fourth is a luxury. Mayorga delivers in all categories. Pay full price. They're worth every cent.

An acceptable smoke. Taste was a bit bitter though out. Aside from that really decent construction. Burn stayed evenand draw was good. Picked a box up on an auction at a great price. I dont think I would buy these at full price. Only smoked one stick so far. We'll see.

I am new to the cigar world however in the last three months I have smoked some very fine and expensive one to get a good calibration of what I like. I have to say I go back to these every time as they are the best I've had yet. I'm on my third box and will continue to fill my humidor with these. Great taste and not very expensive.

Update... I've had these hanging in the humidor for a couple months now and this is my third one. I've finally had the opportunity to pair it with a good cup of dark roast coffee. The cigar and coffee are a great pairing and balance perfectly. This one however has an uneven burn but nothing to far off. It really is a great Nicaaraguin cigar.

Light up with an easy draw great construction with a flawless burn. Nice even balanced flavors of roast coffee and cocoa. I don't know how I've missed these but from now on they have a home in my humidor.

Tried one the day they arrived and enjoyed it to the nub. Left the rest to sit in the humidor. Been a while since I smoked it so my memory isn’t up to date on the flavor but I did like it. I already have more coming from the auctions even though all 4 of my humidors are full. I think I have CAD for sure.

I really like this cigar, especially when I only have 30 minutes to relax and sit on the patio (its smaller size). Good draw, nice medium body with good flavors. I ordered it several times and got a very dark wrapper one time, which is my favorite. Thought I ordered the same one but it came in a lighter wrapper, still very good, but the darker one is my favorite. Its a great value.

I just received a 5-pack of these today from JR, and decided to immediately indulge. Since it’s cold & windy outside today & I don’t want to be outside for too long, I figured this would be a nice selection for today. First, the dark wrapper is quite tantalizing and the aroma is right in line with the deep, dark Maduro shade. The taste was good, with prominent coffee notes complimented with a hint of earthiness. The draw was a little tighter than I prefer, but the V-cut is used may have contributed to that since not very much of the cap was removed. Additionally, I also experienced a slight bit of canoeing. Overall though, I really like this cigar and look forward to enjoying the remaining four.

If you like a chocolate/coffee taste profile don’t sleep on these cigars. Very well made with a consistent good draw and burn. Also tried the Habano wrapper as well - same profile with just a hint of spicy also very good but the maduro is the bomb. These are definitely in my rotation.

I was initially excited about this cigar as I picked it up for less than $2/stick and it looks beautiful. Dark and oily maduro. But was so disappointed with the flavor. Was smoking it during a golf round. Actually had to discard it, it was that bad. No flavor. Just stale smoke. I don't know if it's the batch I got, but I haven't smoked any of the others yet. I'll update this review if the others are an improvement. As for now, I can't recommend.

I love a good Maduro. That said i love the very sweetness of the smoke on the draw. Very bold and stout for a little beast of a cigar.The Price was right .JR Cigars is the best deal in town and they ship to you free if your a member ,so join it's great I will say I have always steered away from box pressed belicso ( Torpedo ) or "war like", type cigars . These got me over that fear and I think they should get 4 stars.Burn , Flavor, And construction, all spot on . I really was pleased with the Flavor of tobacco Sweetness.True Maduro Cigars are good when there Consistant and smooth . These Gorditas fit the bill nicely .

The second % pack is very different. I have already realized that the natural wrapped version often tastes funny { bad horribly wrong} . three into the 2nd 5 pack and each has been off . They emit a burnt flavor. I know it's burning tobacco but it tastes like burnt soot .. W T F did I do buying 4 five pachs of rthe maduro version?
