Overview

The Torpedo (also known as a Belicoso in some iterations) is the tapered-head powerhouse of the vitola world. With its distinctive pointed cap that widens to a full 52 ring gauge over a 6- to 6.5-inch body, the Torpedo is both visually striking and functionally unique. That tapered head isn't just for show. It focuses the smoke, concentrates the flavor, and gives the smoker control over the draw like no other vitola.
