Three rings mark the three recorded thirds; the curve between them is monotone, so it can never overshoot the scale.

Notes
Ratifying that I'm not a big fan of the Torpedo Vitola. The first third was dry, one-dimensional, and not my thing, and a disappointment to what I remember the Le Bijou being. The second third recovered and into the final third with dark chocolate and cocoa. Still a good smoke. I'm glad the remainder of them are Grand Robustos and not Torpedoes
