H. Upmann 1844 Vintage Cameroon cigar review 

12/19/2022

This is the 2nd of a box I bought a few months ago. The first one was was smoked almost 2 months ago and was plugged. It tasted great but wasn't satisfying due to the plugged issue. Let's give it a redo with some more aging time. By the way, I always, when first receiving new cigars, I take them out of the cellophane to start aging. 

After a few minutes it is smoking, still seems plugged. I hop it can open up a bit or I will be sticking a pin down it to open it up. All my years of smoking I've only had a few plugged cigars. The few that had were from a low cost unknown brand that were just inconsistent in the rolling. To have a whole box of plugged smokes from one of the largest brands is ridiculous. It'd be like Toyota selling a car with sticky brakes, which just doesn't happen. 

Shit, I've already cracked the wrapper trying to massage it. I guess tomorrow I'll be contacting the selling and asking for some type of reimbursement. I think I might throw it out and not ruin my night trying to suck down a wooden stick. 

Well, the H. Upmann is laying in the yard somewhere and I just lit up a Montecristo Platinum Toro and, damn, what a difference. I have taste now. Check out this review on my other page.

H. Upmann overall: -20 (Altaldis should apologize)

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  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
