Kristoff Ligero Maduro Robusto cigar review

-

 12/8/23


I just recently smoked the regular Maduro version from Kristoff and I thought it was really good but I was wanting a little more strength.  I hope this one is same but having a little more. 

A dark and oily Brazilian wrapper looks good and this thing smells even better.

Burns pretty mild and super creamy first inch. About as smooth as it gets.  Only taste creamy toasted marshmallow and light chocolate.  Still very mild at first. 

I was drinking some Margaritas and one shot of Don Julio silver.  Switched to a charred wood tasting Mezcal shot with some Coca-Cola.  Now drinking a wheat beer, Blue Moon.  What does that have to do with cigar? I don't know.  All I know is I got a lot of flavors going on and I like it

 

This cigar is burning perfect.  No runs, burning slow, and full of smoke.  Should squeeze an hour of it. 

It's building a little more flavors.  Same flavors. 

Not quite half in and this is the mildest cigar with Ligero in the name.  So far, I remember the regular Maduro being about the same in strength.  


 

I'm getting a strong charred cedar flavor now.  It's on top of the toasted marshmallow smores taste.  Cigar is full of great flavors.  It is super smooth. 

2/3 through and it is about the same.  Really good and tastes really good.  Was wanting a little more, but can't complain.  It's stronger and a little more drier taste but still really smooth.  I think it is the spicy flavors kicking in now.  Not as smooth and creamy but now like a Honduran smoke now.  It has that sweet spiciness aftertaste now.  


Finishing my Belgian beer now and I think it pairs well.  Can't complain.

Lots of flavors on my palate. 

Got to say it was perfectly rolled and still smooth to the last inch.  

Last inch is full of strong smoke and a little harsh but strengthens to a strong smoke that will satisfy smokers like me wanting to finish with a buzz.  It's not hot at all.  Just strong tobacco tastes.  To me a great strong finish.  I'll look to smoke again. 

Overall: 92

Flavor 92, complexity 90, burn 93, experience 91, value 91.

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
