I dry box them for 24-36 hours and have no burn issues at all. I like the el martillo so much I haven't gotten around to trying any other sizes.

Truth be told 99 out of every 100 cigars taste nearly the same (harsh, earthy, flavorless crap). That's why I often smile infused cigars, what's the sense of smoking a cigar just for the sake of sucking smoke; you may as well just smoke a cigarette. So it's not often that you come across a winner like this cigar which is bold and full of flavor whole not being harsh or strong. I don't know what cigar the reviewer was smoking but my cigar was well oiled (just the way I like it) and both burned and lit well (albeit the ash was slightly crooked). The draw was near perfect with a delightful peppery finish. Definitely the easiest and smoothest draw that I've experienced in all my years of smoking cigars. I found a new favorite and will be buying a box of these for my humidor as soon as possible. The best smoke I’ve had in a long time.

I've smoke the smallest size of this line (don't remember the name) and found it to be a little too much power for the size of stick. I'm going to grab the Torpedo when I get the chance. With what you said about differences in sizes....in the regular Antano 1970 line, I find the Gran Perfecto to be leaps and bounds better than the other sizes. I mean, it is so sweet and rich. The flavor profile of the others is similar, maybe not as big a difference as you experienced with the Dark Corojo, but it is notable. I'd love to hear your thoughts. thanks..... check out my site if you find the time. I'm looking for critique and like the way you do things. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. thanks - How do you think it compares to the regular Antano 1970?

You're right though -- they sure were oily. While it was a long smoke due to the oiliness, I didn't have any burn issues. I really enjoyed this cigar, and didn’t even have to dry-box it.

The comment on the different cigar shapes tasting different is intriguing: maybe they are going the Cuban way and using different blends for different shapes? Nice review as usual Barry.

You really know how to stroke my ego! LOL Secondly I'm glad the torpedo worked out for you and now I'm excited again about this cigar because I too had the same experiences with the other two sticks, re: oils, softness, burn issues, etc. The only thing I'm really hoping with the torpedo is a greater equalization of notes versus just smelling figs and dark chocolate and not "tasting" them while smoking. Nice job, Barry! First of all, I love how you refer to me as “The Holy Trinity” as if I am some God-like entity. You really know how to stroke my ego! LOL
