Paradigm 262 Torpedo Review

Nice review. I've also had trouble with the foot bands. Seems like too much glue is used to affix them. Still working on tasting that citrus. I've had a couple already and no luck so far.

Im with you on not getting that citrus note. I've had a few of each vitola and really like them even, but yes the band tearing the wrapper is a real pain. Wont stop me from getting more of these bad boys tho!

The foot band glue issue was supposed to be fixed. I will be sure it is addressed again.

What's funny is that I reviewed the robo and box press also, (my own personal notes) and did not get any citrus flavors, if they are there, I must have missed it (I'll be the first one to tell you I don't have the most experienced cigar palette in the world)...but the torpedo I could def pick it up.

Those were from the stash you sent me snake from our trade, were those first releases or from the "fixed" batch?

Wow. Not bad. Considering that if it weren't for the band issue it would of been closer to a 90 rating. I'm dying to try a 262. I keep meaning to order a sampler, but it's on my long list of things to try. Anyone know of a B&M in the Chicago area that has them??????

Yes they were from the second production run. I pick up citrus in the torpedo but not the robusto and only a few times in the box pressed toro. I haven't had any wrapper issues and I have smoked a ton of these. I have noticed the foot band glue and in is annoying. Sending an email about it again today.

don't know if u know this already, but stogiereviews.com has a review out for the paradigm. Pretty good review too.

I've had 2 of these. I have to say I had a good and a bad experience. One was tasty the other was poor. I would have to have a few more to form a solid opinion. I have to say, I hate when glue is over used. I have run into this many times, most of the time when taking off a band (as I do before I smoke) the damn thing has to be torn off as the band is glued way too much or glue is actually on the wrapper and tears it when pulling off the band. Sometimes both. I think it is really a QC issue that needs to be addressed. It's been on many blends from different manufacturers.

Yeah - that's pretty much it LOL... I can set you up with an account to post the reviews yourself, but the easy thing you can do is just e-mail it to me and include any photos you might have with it and I'll take care of the rest ... Its actually working out pretty well. For me - I did not have much time to provide content, but it does not take me much to post it. So it works great with the guys sending me the content and me posting - really a team effort!

I cant smoke enough of these! New staple in my humi but i think i'm the only guy who hasnt picked up on the citrus note. I tried smoking while sniffing a lemon, smelling OJ....(trick i learned from kuzi...if you think you detect something like pepper....go sniff pepper...) i just cant find it. Even tried it with a citrusy IPA. Oh well, still an uber damn fine smoke!

I only tasted it on the torpedo, and not the robo or box press (if that helps). and it didn't last too long.
