I'm not a fan of torpedoes. I tend to have more draw problems with them, but mostly I just prefer straight shapes. Really just a preference thing for the most part...

Torps or Belis..... Doesn't matter they're a pyramid shaped cigar. What ever you call them (Belis for myself) I'm not smoking one unless its for flavor and most likely a CC. (Upmann, Monte and Diplo) and vary rarely at that. The exceptions would be Tat Unicos and Oliva Belis. Smaller Parejo sized cigars for me please.

I'm not a big fan of sharped point torps. I do like whatever the technical term is for the JdN Antano Gran Consul format, where you have a gradual tapering of the ring gauge. Other than that, I mostly stick with traditional, straight shaped, larger ring gauges > 50 rg.....with 54 or 56 being my favorite.

I personally don't care for them. That being said, I do have some in the humi and do enjoy one on occasion. My problem with them is that by the time I've clipped to the point where I get the draw I personally want there isn't a cap left and therefore I can't sit it down for fear of it unraveling. Maybe It's just the sticks I have, maybe it's just that I don't have the draw power to suck a golf ball through a garden hose, idk, either way they aren't my thing.

Never really gave it much thought. I try to stick with the size that taste the best and if it's the Beli/Torp then I just roll with it.

I ALWAYS have draw issues with torpedoes so I guess I just keep away from them now. Never had a Beli so I can't comment on them really but I think they look pretty cool.
