John smoked this one. He had the torpedo. Paul at Oxmoore told him to try cutting the end off at an angle. This gives it a wider opening to draw through. However, he still had some difficulty and had to really cut it back. Again, this seconds my thoughts on why smoke a torpedo when a Churchill is around.

  1. This cigar was a very tasty smoke. It was hard to draw due to an overly rolled tip on the torpedo. Once it got opened up, boy was it good. It is definitely going to be a mainstay in my humidor, however I think I'll try some different sizes ans shapes before it's all over. The Serie V is a must try for any smoker.
