Alec Bradley Maxx Culture cigar review - Revisit

11/21/2022


Got a lot of these because I like them so, I'm smoking one right now.  This one starts off pretty strong with peppery earth on top of caramel.  Definitely a Nicaraguan taste and profile.  Leaves a sweet taste in your mouth. 


I think I drank tequila last time.  This time, I started off with the awesome  Herradura Silver and then, because I'm cheap, switched to 2Fingers Silver, which with fresh squeezed lime ain't bad.  


Can't always drink the best and the same for smoking.  The Maxx is definitely not a cheap one like 2Fingers, but you can buy this cigar for a low price if you wait and find a deal.  The Maxx ain't the best but it can hang with them and it is very satisfying.  That's what matters to me. 



I'm mean, come on.  Look at the awesome burn.  I think it has 5 months age.  Probably will keep getting better.  Only got about a box and half more to find out.  


I'm 45 minutes in and have been puffing it pretty hard.  Where's all the internet professionals saying it's wrong to smoke a cigar too fast? I'll let them stick to their fake reviews on YouTube with their fresh rolled free cigars tasting every flavor the first 5 minutes.  


If you like a medium - full smoke that consistently delivers great flavors, then you'll like this one.  It doesn't transition much, just smooth smoking.  Puffing hard will give you strong aftertaste on your palate, but a good aftertaste.  A little molasses and charred oak with a smores like taste.  Just a tad spice.  I like this one because you can make it stronger by smoking it hard.  Isn't that a good thing?


An hout in and still a lot left.  The cheap tequila is kicking in as the body of the cigar kicks in.  Now my Tidal Phish collection is playing a slow Harry Hood.  Needs to kick in the guitar jam.  An inspiration jam, nice.  


The cigar is upping it's strength and flavor.  Maybe I'll slow down.  Phish Reba is now starting to jam.  Who doesn't like guitar piano bass drum jam off?  


Same great flavors but kicking up a notch.  The smooth bass with the jazzy guitar really relaxes you.  A great fire burning along with a great cigar.  Great flavors all around.  Always smooth.  



Full bodied and flavored the last inch.  It's a 90+ for sure.

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
