Blue Label Torpedo

Rolled in Danli, Honduras, Blue Label is a small-batch ultra-premium blend that exemplifies the craft involved in the handmade cigar industry. With its silky chocolate brown Habano wrapper that's leathery to the touch, the stick is good looking. It feels firm from head to toe. Note how heavy the Blue Label feels in your hand—a sign that it's jam-packed with tobacco. The savory blend is a mixture of Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Dominican long-fillers bound by a zesty Corojo binder leaf. The medium- to full-bodied Blue Label burns slowly and smokes cool. The cedar-like bouquet is bold but doesn't overwhelm the palate. Expect velvety smoke clouds with notes of cedar and spice and intermittent layers of oak and vanilla. The flavors intensify as the stogie burns, picking up a hint of white pepper along the way. Overall, a strong, complex cigar with subtle nuances that would be complemented well by an dry chardonnay. Our International Wine of the Month Club Members have the perfect pairing in this month's Australian Limestone Coast Chardonnay.
