I got my box today and am about half way on my first one. I am VERY happy with mine. I would definately do it again. They remind me a bit of the Padron Aniversarios knockoffs I got from CI. I got a box of 5 Vegas torpedos off a Yahoo auction once that sucked bigtime. They were dry as a bone so I figured these would be kept in better condition coming from CI.Beware of Cigarheaven or Cigarhaven on Yahoo. He sucks. Long live Cigarbid!

As I said in my post, they remind me of a PA knockoff. Gee, I bet you are one of those guys that thinks everybody but him is a DA. Wow, duh.

I got some torpedos from that same guy about 1 1/2 years ago and had similar problems. I struggled through them until I only had about 7 left. These rested in my humidor until last month when I decided to try one. It was fantastic! I wish I had let them all age.

1.5 years ago these were probably rushed to the market and a lot to do with being terrible, but after aging that made a huge difference. I don't have any other cigar where aging makes such a difference on. Most cigars get better with age, but these go from absolutely horrible, bitter and raw, to a hell of a cigar.

Turdon,I did somewhat the same with the torpedos I had, I gave quite a few away, and left the rest in my box. They definately were better with some age and proper humidity. I would never by from that guy again. He started getting so many negative feedback, he changed his handle from cigarhaven to cigarheaven. He's a junk seller. All he had going was impressive ads.
