The Master Blends 3 Torpedo puts Oliva's acclaimed, full-bodied limited blend in a tapered, box-pressed format. The pointed head concentrates the smoke and lets you fine-tune the draw, which suits this rich, intense recipe well.
What it tastes like
A Connecticut Broadleaf Sun Grown wrapper covers Nicaraguan Habano binder and Nicaraguan ligero filler. The result is deep and full-bodied: dark chocolate and espresso, sweet cedar, earth, and a firm pepper spine. The box press keeps the burn slow and even, and the torpedo tip delivers a focused, concentrated draw that shows the blend's complexity.
Who it's for
This is a full-strength cigar for experienced palates who want richness and depth. If the tapered head is new to you, how to cut a cigar covers a clean opening, and the cigar strength guide helps with the body.
Track it in the Casa DNC app so you remember this one. For the same blend in a stout, wider format, see the Master Blends 3 Double Robusto.
