Description
The Stolen Throne Yorktown Fleet Box-Pressed Torpedo is a 6 x 50 torpedo with a soft box press, wrapped in Sumatra-seed leaf from Ecuador around an all-Nicaraguan binder and filler. Stolen Throne launched the Yorktown Fleet at the 2023 PCA show as a regular-production line, rolled at the Rojas Cigar Factory in EstelÃ.
What It Tastes Like
Across three torpedoes, halfwheel found a fairly plain start of espresso, cream and light pepper that soon turned to cedar and cinnamon. Cocoa nibs, leather and nuts filled the middle, and dark chocolate led the final third, with pepper and some sweetness on the retrohale throughout.
Who It’s For
- Pressed-shape smokers after a squared-off torpedo that sits firm between the fingers.
- Chocolate-and-cedar seekers willing to let the flavor build past the first inch.
- Stolen Throne followers curious about the blend named for the brand’s Virginia base.

About the Yorktown Fleet
Halfwheel reports the name honors Stolen Throne’s headquarters in Yorktown, Virginia, site of the 1781 British surrender and of a naval weapons station that supplies the Atlantic Fleet.
Pairing and Storage
Given the cocoa and espresso notes, try a balanced Rioja or coffee from our cigar pairing guide. Pressed cigars still want stable humidity, as our humidor basics guide shows.
