Perdomo 20th Anniversary Torpedo
Perdomo lists the 20th Anniversary Torpedo at 6½ × 54. That puts it between the six-inch Epicure and seven-inch Churchill in length, with its own place alongside Corona Grande on the anniversary chart. Connecticut, Sun Grown and Maduro provide the three expressions. Each uses higher-priming Cuban-seed Nicaraguan binder and filler within the family’s minimum eight-year tobacco program. Torpedo’s combination of fractional length and 54 ring gauge offers a different proportion from the broader Robusto, Epicure and Gordo formats.
