Palmar Arriba Torpedo

The Palmar Arriba Jumbo combines an impressive Gordo format with an uncomplicated, pleasantly accessible smoking experience. Hand-rolled in the Dominican Republic, this cigar features a high-quality Connecticut Shade wrapper and a hand-rolled medium-filler construction. The generous ring gauge ensures a cool smoke and allows the gentle woody notes to come through particularly well. The flavour profile centres on light woody nuances and subtle hints of pine. This makes the Jumbo ideal for relaxed moments of indulgence where an aromatic yet unobtrusive smoke is desired.

Palmar Arriba Jumbo in the generous Gordo format

With a length of 152 millimetres, a diameter of around 24 millimetres and a ring gauge of 60, the Jumbo is one of the brand’s more voluminous formats. The wide format offers a large burn surface and promotes a comparatively cool, even burn. At the same time, it produces a rich volume of smoke without the cigar’s character coming across as unnecessarily strong. The classic Parejo shape and the light Connecticut Shade wrapper lend it a understated, elegant appearance. Connoisseurs who prefer cigars with a large diameter, in particular, will find this a format with a pleasant presence and a smoking time of approximately 65 minutes.

Dominican tobaccos with subtle woody notes

Inside, Palmar Arriba utilises a medium-filler blend of Piloto Cubano and Olor Dominicano. This blend incorporates tobacco trimmings produced during the processing of high-quality long-filler tobaccos. The result combines excellent value for money with hand-rolled craftsmanship. Aromatically, the cigar is pleasantly straightforward. Light woody notes form the base, accompanied by subtle hints of pine and a delicate natural tobacco sweetness. The light Connecticut Shade wrapper enhances the balanced and smooth overall impression.

Uncomplicated enjoyment for moments of relaxation

The combination of a large ring gauge and understated flavour makes this cigar a versatile companion. It is suitable both for connoisseurs who prefer milder Dominican cigars and for experienced aficionados looking for an uncomplicated smoke for everyday enjoyment. The substantial Gordo size delivers plenty of smoke and allows for a slow, leisurely pace of enjoyment. In particular, the gentle woody and pine notes remain present throughout the smoking experience, ensuring a clear, balanced character. Anyone looking for a hand-rolled Dominican cigar with a substantial size and attractive smoking experience will find this an interesting choice.
