Well I finally got to smoke one of these (the toro) and I have to say I was a little let down. I had a pretty tight draw which normally wouldn't have put me off so much except I was hardly getting any smoke from it! The smoke I did get though, sure was tasty! I did get the citrus flavors in addition to a little bit of chocolate. Also, another flavor that went hand in hand with the citrus I can only describe as iceburg lettuce. Kind of watery, crisp, and refreshing. I really am hoping that the draw issues were just a fluke as there were some GREAT flavors.
Had the Toro today. 3 for 3. That was another great stick as well. I really like the 262's. I think the Torp. is my favorite still. I'll have to order more and try again to make sure!
Just got another Initiation pack to try again. I think this time I'm going to let them rest for a while .(if I can wait. I really liked these so far OTT)
I must have gotten the luck of the draw with these. Today I decided to light up the torpedo jsnake sent me after letting it rest in the humidor for a good stretch. So basically I couldn't get any smoke on the draw, the draw itself was ok, firm but reasonable and the cigar was burning ok just no smoke was coming out. I've had this happen before and it really pisses me off. I enjoyed what little flavor I was able to get, but unfortunately it was not enough, coupled with the main issue, to justify buying any of these. I know many of you have smoked them and had good results, but I'm 0/2. Bummer.

I had gifted a torpedo to my friend and he reported the same issue with the small amount of smoke. He also reported a too tight of a draw. Perhaps this was specific to a certain batch? I'm going to let my other torpedo rest for a long time before lighting it up.

I think the cigarobsession guy also had the same problem...

I hate to pile on here, but this seems to be a common theme here. It was almost like there was a crack in the cigar so I was drawing air from the sides or something. I wanted to love the cigar but couldn't. Anxious to experience that citrus/fruit taste many have spoken of.
LOL I still have YET to Try one ............. lol I have read so many mixed reviews on this smoke, it is definatley a LOVE HATE Relationship with this stick....... for the most part what I have seen and Heard the price point for an unknown Secretive Cigar and the availablity are the issue here. Far to many great Cigars out there less expensive or in the same price line to step out on a Limb. That being said I would still have to try one before I could speak with any REAL debate over its GREATNESS!

Well if ya ever bother to COME OVER, I'd give you one!
So I finally got to smoke one (the box press toro) and all I have to say is, believe the hype. Full review is up at ubicigar.com, I would strongly suggest you get your hands on the sampler at least!
I had my first of the box-pressed Toro size this past weekend. YUM. I'm very impressed with all three sizes, and I can't wait to start selling up a storm.
