How are these cigars? Any difference between the Robustos or the torpedos besides size? What do they mean by "fresh rolled". Where they rolled yesterday or last month?

I thought that cigars were rolled and then spend at least a couple years in warehouses before they go out to the public. If this is so then what is the difference between stored cigars and these "fresh" cigars?....69

Never had the robustos but love the torps enough to buy a wheel. Get a sampler of each, then decide.

Perdomo Fresh Rolled are great cigars. Have the torps and robustos. They're smokeable right away, but will (are said to) improve with age. I try to let them improve, but find it difficult to keep hands and lips away from them. Go for them.

I just asked the same question a couple weeks ago. I got mine inthe mail last week. I tried one, set the others aside for a while. It was a great smoke.

One side had a little shipping damage I didn't catch until I lit it. Burned uneven through the "speed bump" but was fine before and after the defect.

Very good value in a medium to full bodied smoke! I love the torpedos and have never tried the robustos, but next time I order a wheel, maybe I will consider ordering the robustos! What is the fresh rolled tag for!?!?!? They are a nice looking cigar! Charlie

Well, I got a wheel of each, the torpedos and the robustos. I really like the torps but the robustos aren't bad either. To me they are a med. body smoke and are great right out of the package. I can only hope that they will be really great after a few months in the humidor. But I guess someone likes them also since I see the bids getting up to almost the price that CI has them for. Oh well all things must come to an end....69
