Appearance

A very oily dark chocolate colored wrapper with a couple of prominent veins. The seams are tightly wrapped and the cap is applied very well. The filler bunch is well packed with no apparent soft spots.

Aroma

Dark chocolate, earth and spice on the wrapper. Cedar, dark chocolate, earth and spice at the foot.

Prelight Draw

Earth, molasses, dark chocolate, black licorice, cedar and warm cinnamon spice.

1st

The initial draws bring notes of cedar, earth and cinnamon spice. The draw is a bit snug as Torpedo’s tend to be. Dark chocolate and espresso notes join the profile to bring another level of richness. The ash is light gray, almost white and tight. The burn is almost perfect. Smoke production is at the high end of medium range. Strength starts at medium+. The ash got a little flaky but held firm and straight until removal.

2nd

A pinch of black pepper joins the spice portion of the profile. The burn vacillates between razor sharp and wavy as the cigar continues to burn. Strength moves to med/full. The black pepper spice increases in intensity.

Final/3rd

The finish is long with notes of cedar, earth, dark chocolate, espresso and a cinnamon/black pepper spice combo. Strength moves to full. The flavorful profile continues right to the nub.

Overall

The Undercrown Maduro ShadyXX BP Short Torpedo provides a very enjoyable smoking experience. A complex, well balanced and flavorful profile with a good draw and mildly erratic burn.
