Stolen Throne Yorktown Fleet Torpedo

Stolen Throne Cigars crafts some of the most dynamic cigars in the boutique world. The Yorktown Fleet Torpedo is no exception. This blend was the most recent core line added to the Stolen Throne Cigars portfolio. The company started with just a single blend: the Crook Of the Crown Toro and Robusto. Due to the quality and flavor, their popularity grew. Blender Lee Marsh has created four blends in their portfolio, and Yorktownn Fleet is the most recent.

While the Stolen Throne Call to Arms also uses a Sumatra wrapper, the flavor could not be more different from the Yorktown Fleet. The complexity of this cigar is fantastic and perhaps more dynamic in their transitions. With subtle notes of coffee, caramel, earth, oak, and dry sweetness. If you are not one for pepper, this might be a cigar for you. While there is minimal white pepper at light up, it doesn’t linger long. I would put this cigar at a medium strength, perhaps moving to a medium/full. Flavor is where this cigar shines, not heaviness.

The name Stolen Throne Yorktown Fleet is in reference to the company’s new headquarters in Yorktown, Virginia. Historically speaking, on October 19, 1781, Gen. Charles Cornwallis of the British forces surrendered at Yorktown to the leader of the Continental Army, George Washington. By way of paying homage, Marsh named his Sumatra blend. “Stolen Throne cigars is our journey through tobacco,” says Marsh. “It falls right into our portfolio of medium to full. It uses a dark Ecuadorian Sumatra Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and fillers. Hell of a lot of flavor.”

Stolen Throne continues to set the bar high with amazing hits like their Crook of the Crown, Three Kingdoms Habano, and now their newest line. Yorktown Fleet is available at Oak Glen Tobacconist. Keep a weather eye on this company because they are doing amazing things with tobacco and I can’t wait to see what new adventures they have planned.
