ABACTO
American Classic Blend Torpedo cigars are one of the tamest blends in the entire Alec Bradley brand portfolio. This is because they were made to replicate the classic taste of old-style, Tampa-made premium cigars that were enormously popular in the early to mid-20th century. In doing so, the blend features an aged recipe of long-fillers from Nicaragua held together by a bold Nicaraguan binder, then covered in a lovely golden-brown Connecticut-seed Honduran wrapper. The result is a mellow-to-medium bodied smoke with creamy smooth flavors of coffee, wood, spice, cedar, and caramel that can be enjoyed all day long without breaking the bank. Be sure to order a box of 24 from JR Cigar, and get ready to discover a smoke that pays tribute to a bygone era in American cigarmaking history.

I bought the 5pk and lit one up after a week. I found out later that this was a mistake. The flavor was a bit rough and average cigar taste. A month later I lit up another and was pleasantly surprised. Although the first third seemed ok it really started to develop into a creamy and flavorful smoke which I enjoyed to the end. I'll try the next one in about 30 days to see how much better it will get.

I generally am not a huge fan of Connecticuts since many of them are quite bland but I have a short list of flavorful Connies for when I am in the mood. These make that list. For those of you complaining about the taste do you NOT rest your cigars? Do you NOT understand the difference between old school and new school blends? Most Alec Bradleys are old school blends that need a substantial amount of rest to get the blender's intent. I don't doubt that these taste sub-par if you smoke them within 2 weeks of purchase. I DIDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT to smoke these before resting them at least 3 months. And then they were great. Even better at 4 months. Smooth creamy and surprisingly complex for a Connecticut. Now if you want to smoke your old school blends as soon as you get them that's certainly your choice. But it's not fair to rate a cigar poorly because YOU didn't give it enough time.

Haven't seen many good reviews in this cigar but personally I think it is a great stick. Honestly for the price you can't beat it! Would recommend it to new and vet's alike! A perfect everyday stick for a mild to medium smoke.

I really like this cigar. I am a fan of Alec Bradley cigars and while this one is a little milder in my opinion it still has a full flavor profile. Of course the construction draw and burn were on point. I can honestly say that I have yet to have an Alec Bradley that I haven't enjoyed!

I love the stick. The torpedo was always a classic and truly favorite of mine. The American classic smokes beautifully and is right up my flavor profile alley. I have 10 of these in my second humidor and like to give them out for poker night

I have purchased these a couple of times. Usually on sale or auction. I think they're a deal while admitting that the last bunch I purchased need some time. They're a trifle harsh at present. Unlike some others I have no problems with the AB construction. Creamy and mellow without being boring. Worth the full price. A no brainer on sale. There seems to be an effort to unload this brand at present. That's a win for cigar smokers. I think of this brand as a solid alternative to Montes which only seem to get more and more expensive. Unfortunately the sun grown version of this smoke is one of the least favorite I have tried.

Approachable is exactly how I would describe this cigar. It’s mild without being bland; the great flavors are there, but they don’t overpower your palate. Great early day smoke.
I’ll definitely buy this again
