I've got about ten torps with a year or so on them as well as some lanceros. The lanceros are just bland, and I've noticed the torps are getting boring too. Not sure if its my tastes that changed (though I'm sure they have) or if they just age to blandness. I'll have to try a torp on a fresh pallette to see.
Ill go with Krieg here, the Torp is a great Decade Vitola! One of my favorites. I just had one the other day and I would say it is aging well.
Agreed it is the best of the line, but I had one that was aging for about a year and a half this past March - it was so frickin boring. Like watching paint dry.
I think you got a bad one as far as draw goes, I've smoked 5-6 of this one and had perfect draw on all. The rest of the review was spot on from the ones I smoked. Mine never got any bite at the end, though, I think that's gotta be from the tight draw.
I've had a tight draw on about half of the Sumatra torpedos I've smoked. Never been problematic, but I have noticed that Kristoff cigars in general can tend to have a tight draw, in fact I've never had one with anything less than a firm draw.
I had the same impression with the Churchill, but the "thin" profile you mention in the first and last thirds was not the case in the Torpedo. That vitola really shined, and the entire cigar was more like your second third.
