Torpedo Cigars

A torpedo cigar has a tapered, pointed head that concentrates the smoke and flavor as you draw. Tabanero's torpedo cigars are hand-rolled in Ybor City, Tampa, and come in every strength, from the super mild Torpedo Sweet Lips to the full-bodied Big Torpedo. Shipped fresh from Florida to anywhere in the USA.




Why Smokers Choose a Torpedo

The torpedo shape is one of the hardest to roll. The torcedor has to taper the head to a point while keeping the draw open, so a well-made torpedo is a sign of a skilled roller. The pointed head lets you choose how much you cut: a small cut gives a tight, focused draw, while a deeper cut opens up more smoke.

FAQs

What is a torpedo cigar?

A cigar with a tapered, pointed head and a straight body. The point focuses the smoke on the palate.

What's the difference between a torpedo and a belicoso?

Both have pointed heads. A torpedo is usually longer with a sharper point; a belicoso is shorter with a more rounded taper.

How do you cut a torpedo cigar?

Use a straight cutter and cut a small amount off the tip first. Cut further back if you want a looser draw. A V-cut also works well.

Are torpedo cigars stronger?

No. The shape changes how the smoke feels, not the nicotine. Tabanero torpedoes run from super mild to full.

How long does a torpedo cigar take to smoke?

Typically 60–90 minutes for a 6½" torpedo, and less for the 5" Torpedo Sweet Lips.

What's the best torpedo cigar for beginners?

The Torpedo Sweet Lips or Big Torpedo Connecticut: both mild and easy-drawing.
