About this cigar
Tampa The American Torpedo Unit stands as a modern reinterpretation of old-school Tampa tradition, built around a torpedo vitola that demands skill and patience from the roller. The blend channels the spirit of pre-embargo Cuban craftsmanship without pretension, relying on long-filler Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos wrapped in a medium-bodied Ecuadorian Habano leaf. What emerges is straightforward and honest: a cigar that opens with subtle pepper and wood, settles into a creamy mid-palate, and finishes with just enough sweetness to keep things interesting through the final third. This is the kind of torpedo that rewards a methodical smoker, revealing layers at different points depending on how you work it. The construction is meticulous, and the draw remains consistent without feeling forced. At around 6 inches with that classic torpedo point, it's sized for a serious session without overstaying its welcome. For your lounge or retail floor, the American Torpedo Unit appeals to customers who remember or respect Tampa's heritage without wanting to pay island prices. Position it as the thinking person's everyday torpedo, the cigar for a reflective evening or the wind-down after a long business day. The 20-count box format ensures steady turnover while maintaining the mystique.
