Don Fernando Torpedo
 

I know this is going to be a fast review, unlike my normal uber wordy ones, but I really wanted to get this one up fast!

I smoked a Don Fernando Belicoso tonite that came from the box Mr. AndyMadera was gracious enough to hold for little old me. I was expecting it to be fresh, due to its recent creation and even more recent introduction to my humidor, boy was I surprised.

Early on i tasted a bit of the expected Nicaraguan spice package that we have all come to know and love from Andy's cigars, but the flavors were more pronounced. I puffed it down about a third and started noting really sweet flavors in the "floral" or "vegetal" range.

I nubbed this sucker in about an hour and a quarter while drinking Earl Grey Bravo iced tea (www.adagio.com). I really enjoyed the smoke and I truly apreciate the kind of BOTL that Andy is for creating this smoke and Don Fernando is for lending his name to it! Hopefully those of you that have been and will be lucky enough to grab one of these already limited run cigars will enjoy it as much as I did.

Re: Don Fernando Torpedo

Re: Don Fernando Torpedo
 

If you want one, PM me your address, ill be nice! They are tasty smokes, although I just found andy's best cigar ever, RMF Lancero.

Re: Don Fernando Torpedo
 

Andy gave me one of these a few weeks back to try and I finally got around to having it. I agree with your review (never posted a review myself - yet).

I was very nice, smooth smoke, hint of spice. I really enjoyed it.

Thanks Andy!
