Piloto Cubano Torpedo

Developed decades ago, Piloto Cubano is a strain of tobacco that was one of the most interesting innovations in the cigar industry. The name refers to the process of planting Cuban seeds in the Dominican Republic, which resulted in one of the first hybrid tobaccos to be widely used. The success of the strain spearheaded dozens of other such experimental efforts and led to increasingly interesting and delicious blends for which we cigar lovers can be thankful. The Piloto Cubano brand consists, not surprisingly, of entirely Cuban-seed, Dominican-grown filler tobaccos. It’s capped with a toothy Ecuadorian-grown Connecticut wrapper. Each sample reviewed was well constructed and burned cool and evenly with a tight ash. Look for lots of creamy smoke. The mild to medium brand Piloto Cubano offers a classic Dominican flavor profile—a smooth, almost creamy, character with subtle notes of toast and cedar. Check out our reorder prices. This easy-going cigar could find its way into your daily rotation! Enjoy it as a thirty minute smoke with your morning coffee.
