Description
The Cavalier Genève Black II Torpedo is a tapered 6 x 52 cigar whose Mexican San Andrés wrapper covers Nicaraguan binder and filler leaf. It is made in Honduras: Cigar Dojo places production in Danlí, with Fábrica Centroamericana de Tabaco S.A., and halfwheel’s 2024 review names the same factory.
What It Tastes Like
No Torpedo review turned up, so these notes come from sister sizes. Stogie Press (Toro Gordo, June 7, 2020) began with licorice, coriander and a little sweetness, moved into cocoa and cream as the spice turned savory, and picked up wood late. Blindman’s Puff’s blind panel found the Toro opening on cocoa, toast and walnut, adding espresso, clove and cinnamon, then Baker’s chocolate, leather and white pepper.
Who It’s For
- Figurado fans who like a pointed head to clip shallow or deep.
- Smokers wanting a longer Black II than the 5 x 50 Robusto.
- Maduro lovers: halfwheel’s launch story calls the wrapper San Andrés maduro.
