Oro De Panama Maduro Torpedo Review

Oro De Panama Maduro Torpedo - 6 X 52. Wrapper - Panama Maduro, Binder - Panama, Filler - Panama. Medium - full bodied.

Initial lighting taste - Earth and spice.

First third - Peppery spice, tangy, sweet fruit and Earthiness.

Second third - Pepper spice, tangy, sweet fruitiness and Earth.

Last third - A continuation of the Pepper spice, tangy, sweet fruit and Earthiness.

Construction - A somewhat bumpy wrapper, dry in texture with a few major veins visible. Burn was straight with a loose ash that was dark gray in color. Draw was perfect with copious amounts of smoke produced.

A very enjoyable cigar that had excellent complexity and good balance. I was very impressed with the complex flavor profile especially the fruity Earthiness. MSRP for this vitola is $6.50 which is a very economical price point for a cigar of this quality. I recommend if you like the Spicy, Earthy flavor profile in a medium to full body.
