Alec Bradley Prensado Torpedo FAQ
Is this the same cigar that won Cigar of the Year?
It is the same blend. Cigar Aficionado's 2011 Cigar of the Year award went to the Prensado Churchill, and the Torpedo uses that blend in a shorter, tapered shape.
What does box-pressed mean?
The cigars are pressed into a squared shape during aging. A box-pressed cigar tends to burn a little slower and more evenly, and it sits flat in an ashtray. Learn more in our Anatomy of a Cigar guide.
How do you cut a torpedo cigar?
Clip just below the tip of the taper with a straight guillotine. Cutting lower opens the draw, and a V-cut also works well. Browse our cigar cutters.
