Review of Man O War Ruination Belicoso Torpedo 5.7x56
First Impressions: Mahogany Brown almost maduro in color. Wrapper is thick and the veins pronounced. The stick is balanced and firm, very oily to the touch.
Prelight: The draw is on the firm side looking for it to ease up in the body of the smoke. Smells of chocolate and ripe dried fruit. (Almost a pipe tobacco smell)
Lighting: Cuban Crafters Perfecto 24 straight cut (two cuts) One for the tip of the torpedo. The second to open up the cigar. Lighting was effortless and straight.
First Puffs: Pepper and Chocolate straight away. Spice is evident on the nose with a burn and sting.
First third: Notes of strong cedar and leather, maintaining the chocolate from the opening to an oily expresso from the mouth through the nose. This is a full bodied cigar with a defined presence. First inch a greyish white ash razor sharp.
Second third: Ash is firm and holding all the way through the stick. A strong chocolate and oak flavors present with a semi sweetness on the finish. Dried fruits such as raisin and apricot along with some orange peel. Pepper is gone settling into a smoothness, although strong flavor. Leather has been replaced with roasted almond. Reminds me of a Chocolate Chunky. This is a powerhouse of a cigar.
Final Third: Got a little lightheaded, this cigar has turned up the strength and has turned very heavy on the palate, A dry leather returns but is rather quicky replaced with a strong tobacco flavor, the nicotine released on the final third of the cigar and mouth feels like Im chewing Redman Chewing Tobacco. Tongue is a bit numb from all the nicotine The burn turns a little uneven and tight. I believe this is my fault from pulling too hard and too often. The cigar stayed cool but the flavor overcoated the palate and affected my ability to smoke it any further.
Final thoughts: This is not a cigar to smoke without time on your hands. If you over do it then it will reach out and slap you in the face. The cigar is a flavorful treat but dont try to smoke it like a medium bodied cigar. I believe it was my fault in smoking this cigar in under 1 hour when it could of used 1 hour and 20 mins and taken long brakes between pulls. I will not deter anyone from this cigar as it is flavorful and strong and would treat the user to a complex array of flavors.
