Appearance
The medium brown wrapper appears a bit mottled with a couple prominent albeit thin veins. The seams are tightly wrapped. The cigar is also a bit toothy but remember, that's not a bad thing... It's just a thing. The wrapper has a gritty fine sandpaper like finish as opposed to being smooth. There is a light oil sheen on the wrapper.
Aroma
Barnyardy yet has a hint of earthy aroma on the wrapper. Earth and sweetness at the foot.
Prelight Draw
Cedar,sweetness,leather,
earth & spice
1st
Initial draws bring notes of leathery cedar with a mild sweetness along with a hint of cinnamon spice. The ash is medium gray semi tight with a bit of flake. The draw is a bit on the snug side of just right. The burn has a slight wave currently. There is a mild tang joining the profile. Draw opened up near the end of 1st/3rd. As I removed the ash it revealed a nice cone shaped ash.
2nd
Moving into the 2nd/3rd the strength of the cigar moves to medium+ and the burn has fully self corrected. The flavor profile is still balanced with notes of leathery cedar,earth,a citrusy sweetness and mild tang and cinnamon spice. The cigar has a nice long finish. Burn has become a bit wavy again. Not a problem just an observation.
Final/3rd
Burn has almost fully self corrected again. A mild coffee note has joined the profile. The coffee & cinnamon spice become the prominent flavors with the leathery cedar,earth and citrusy sweetness still present in the background.
Overall the Magnate Green Habano Torpedo provided an enjoyable smoking experience. Fairly well balanced and flavorful.
Definitely a cigar u should try. They are available on their website.
Thanks again to Najib Green @MagnateGreen for the samples for review.
