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.

Exile

Smoked this last week(Thanks John), I like the fake newspaper about the Cuban Embargo it comes wrapped in.

From another blog:

EXILE® is comprised of aged, rich blend of Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos delivering a rich and complex character with a spicy-sweet finish.

It was not a bad smoke, but not memorable. It would have been nicer had it been aged since 1962 :-)
