Description

Introducing the Yao (Torpedo) Connecticut, a cigar that honors Emperor Yao, a legendary Chinese ruler known for his generosity and strategic acumen. This 6 1/2 inch Torpedo, with a 60-ring gauge, pays homage to a leader revered as one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, whose reign over 4,000 years ago was marked by challenges such as the Great Flood that devastated his realm.

The Connecticut wrapper of the Yao Torpedo provides a smooth and creamy texture, contrasting beautifully with its Maduro counterpart, yet retaining a medium-bodied strength that is approachable and satisfying. This cigar offers a delightful blend of creamy, nutty, and oaky flavors, presenting a profile that is robust yet finely balanced. It is the epitome of an everyday cigar—perfectly smooth without being too soft, making it a staple for any humidor.

Yao’s legacy of putting the interests of his people above his own is captured in the famous quote inscribed in Chinese on the inside lid of the cigar box: “The strategy aims to conquer the resources vital to the survival of the Nation.” This inscription not only pays tribute to Yao’s strategic thinking but also resonates with the thoughtful blend of flavors in this cigar, designed to appeal to both novice and seasoned smokers.
