Pre-light: Didn't really have any scent to it.

Taste of the cigar: It was hard for me to describe the taste. I would say semi sweet tobacco with a little bit of spice.

Construction: Held an long ash. The draw was perfect. The cigar had a razor sharp burn and didn't require any touchups.

Strength: This was a medium-full flavored cigar.

Summary: This cigar was delicious. I wish Pete Johnson would make more of these. I would definitely buy this again. I give this a 9/10.

Everything I read about this cigar is positive so guess it is the next cigar to have in my humidor. I need to quit reading these kinds of posts as when I read them I have to try them.

[BlackIrish]

Thanks for the review. I'll have to pop by my B&M to pick up one of these.

Very Welcome... After I had my first one, I tracked down a whole bundle! :ss

[Pipe&Cigar]

I have one of these sitting in my humi thanks to cigarlvr... I am scared to burn this one for fear of the time and money it will take to find some more. Thanks for the review Elder

Good luck with that.
Not many places have any left at all.

Smoked another one today. They seem to only get better.

Dunng mentioned buying a bundle of these. Are they selling these in bundles now?

Thanks

These were sold in 19 stick bundles wrapped in foil in jars when they were released.

[ScottishSmoker]

I am absolutely in love with this cigar, everyone has been splendid...your review is also nice and easy...to the point! Well Done Dan!

[blugill]

This is one of my MUST TRY cigars of 09!

Can't wait until I find one, going to Vegas in late March and plan on looking around for one!
If they were more widely available would that diminish the high ratings of this cigar? Scarcity can sometimes make something better than it normally would be...

I dont think so.

Had my first one last week... fantastic! I wish I had known NOT to snork this cigar, I thought my sinuses were going to explode.

ok, NOW I will take my words about Greg back! Bombing a tat black doesn't fit in an 'all talk' profile, great bomb Greg!

[hotreds]

A tasty smoke, to be sure. Too bad they are so hard to come by!

[jwintosh]

i hear Pete's going to have another release of the black soon. torpedo-shaped in a black psp2-type tube.

[Zoomschwortz]

I have a couple of the jars and I've read that Pete may do a special refill the jar promo. I have also heard rumors that they may release bundles of Blacks without the jar and was hoping that this was happening when I read Dunng's post.

I have one full jar that I'm trying to hold off on opening until they are 5 years old. I only have a few left from the first jar and I'm hoping Pete will release some more before they are gone.

Take care
Ken

the bundles have already been released and are slowly hitting a few of the larger dealers.

i broke into the bundle in the middle so ignore the packaging. they come in bundles of 25 in cellophane.

i heard that it's not the blacks in the tubes but a regular production in the tube.

Looks like I need to start hitting the B&M.

What are they charging for a bundle of 25?

Thank you very much for the information.

[KidRock]

has anyone ever seen a torpedo black or is this in the rumor mill?

[jwintosh]

Pete was at Serious Cigars last night. this what he told a friend of mine that was there. Pete hopes to have this released by the next IPCPR! so, yeah, my information is second-hand....

What size are the cigars that come in the bundles?

It is hard to see through the packaging, but it looks like they no longer have the tit on the cap or the shag foot.

Thanks again.

cigar price should be 13$ per the MSRP. you can find them under that. i scored a bundle for 200$ plus shipping last month. just shows you how much markup there can be.

[Genetic Defect]

I feel they are over rated average at best.

[blugill]

I feel they are over rated average at best.

So you would go along with the scarcity theory that since they are hard to get is why they taste better?

I've never had one but I'll remedy that in 09 I'm sure! LOL!

a vendor on one of the forums. keep in mind once a vendor gets a bundle it could be a long while if ever before they get anymore.
