Re: J.L. Salazar Reserva Especial Torpedo
I smoked one of these (a toro) at Cuban Crafters last night.
The first thing I noted was a rather spongy feel to the stick, and the lack of good construction was evident in an erratic burn which required several re-lights.
The flavor was okay; some good complexity in the first third made me hopeful; a medium peppery bite around the middle. Not interesting enough to finish on a night when I was still recovering from a bout of the flu.
Not a bad cigar at around the $2 price point; the problem is, it's a $5+ cigar. I wouldn't venture there again.
