Montecristo Monte Robusto Review

9/12/2022

Started off with a good spice and some chocolately smooth flavors. Lots of smoke. Had this one, from a 5 pack in the humidor for almost a year. First 2 smoked a little green and harsh with only a few months aging. This one is much better, totally different taste, nuch improved. 



Changing now to same spice but much more leathery rich smoke. Burns pretty even, no touch up.  Starting to really like this one. 

Burning about average speed, wishing it'd slow a bit to really relish the flavors. Leaving  a very good aftertaste. Top notch for sure.

Going good with my aged tequila. Burning perfect.

Can feel some relaxation, this what smoking is all about. Not a huge cigar but does it all about perfect, wishing it was a Gordo only a third done, but half way done now. 

I'd call it a med full in body and flavor.

Hasn't changed much,but pulling strong creamy robust complex flavors with an inch ash that is not hot or harsh at all, just good taste all around. 

Tiniest bite, but very smooth, anyone can smoke this and appreciate the flavors. 

Tasting caramels and marshmallows.

Finally dropped the long ash, having to remove the main band, it still is a mellow smoke. Aftertaste is great. Burn is perfect. 

Doubling it's relaxation, now some more punch, flavor still good, but not too complex.

Really liking it, ramping up the same leathery and mellow marshmallow flavor.  Wishing it'd slow down, but it is pulling well with lots of flavor.

About to the nub. Maybe almost an hour in it, wish it go longer. Finished well burning my fingers wishing for more


Overall a fine cigar for any occasion. Would buy again for the right price. Definitely a go to cigar. Very satisfying. 

91

Flavor 92, complexity 88, burn 92, experience 90, value 90.


This is what's its all about.

    Montecristo cigars are usually pretty mild, but this one is pretty robust. I think the stronger Montecristo's, you have to age them for a while.

Here you will find honest reviews about the cigars that I bought myself and smoked myself.  I like to enjoy a fine cigar 3 to 4 times a week, late at night, sipping on some fine bourbon or tequila.  I've been smoking cigars for over 20 years and I try to be unbiased and honest in my reviews.  You can't trust most of the reviews on the internet or posted on most retailer's websites.  I don't really care if some guy tastes every flavor of the dessert buffet on some crappy cigar.  I want to know if it was an enjoyable cigar that satisfied you and you want to smoke another one.  That's what I try to give you.   <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9914815924126887"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

Gurkha Symphony Toro cigar review

Gurkha Symphony Toro cigar review 1/30/2023 Ive only smoked a few Gurkha's and none have impressed me to go out of my way to actually research how to buy them.    I always get a few in some sampler or freebie deal.    And I always find they are mediocre but priced like some kind of top notch smoke.    If they are really supposed to be priced so high, you have to ask, why are they giving these away? Anyway, this one is supposedly a mild Nicaraguan filler, Dominican binder, and Connecticut wrapper.  Smoke is pretty mild so far.    Pretty good taste and flavors of toasted graham crackers and marshmallow with a hint of spice and cedar.    It is a tad plugged, which probably keeps the profile mild.    Feels kind of spongy, but these have a couple month of age in my humidor, so they should burn well.    And I do have to touch up. Burning a bit too much on one side.   But, so far, not bad, but hasn't really done much except for the flavors at first.  Looks good after touching up and m

Gurkha Castle Hall Nicaraguan Reserva Especial Toro cigar review

Gurkha Castle Hall Nicaraguan Reserva Especial Toro cigar review  5/27/2023 I got these cheap.    But they've been aging for at least 6 months in my humidor.    Never been a fan of Gurkha, but I am very open minding and will smoke every cigar I have.  Starts off medium with spice, cedar, and earth.    Yep, just like most Nicaraguan smokes.    Not too bad.   Most Gurkhas taste alright the first third and turn to really terrible, but, like I said, I will honestly review any cigar.    If this one stays consistent then it is a decent smoke.   I taste a slight caramel taste, but it is burning kind of hot.    It is really windy tonight.    60 degrees out.    Windy and cool enough to start a small fire.    What's does have to do with how this is smoking? Nothing.    It is burning hot and a little harsh, but maybe it will mellow out. Half way through and it is mostly cedar and spice taste.    Easy smoking, not a lot of smoke, but leaves decent flavor on your palate.   I will say it is
