Man o war figurado cigar review

-

 Had this one like maybe 2 years aging.  I don't even remember where I got this one but I have been saving it to age and I about forgot about it.  




I'm expecting a strong smoke on this Saturday night.  I'll probably be biased if this is a mild smoke tonight.  


First inch is nice and smooth.  I'd say a good medium smoke.  I was drinking some fine rum but now sipping on a Modelo Negra.  This cigar is very mellow in flavor.  Lots of cedar and very slight sweet toffee on top of a slightly dry taste.  It's pretty good so far.  If it can keep it's smoothness and strengthen that toffee and rich tobacco taste I think this can be great. 




Finally flicked the ash.  Slight cone and it's pulling clouds of smoke.  Yeah it was rolled perfect.  


It's definitely picking up strength not only in power but adding so straight in flavors.  




Damn it smoking way too quick.  I got to take the band off before i finish my first beer.  


It's definitely a good easy smoking cigar.  Tons of smoke and it is very smooth but loses points for smoking so damn quick without strengthening into a great cigar, it kind of just kept burning through without opening up or getting any stronger.  




Last inch is now getting pretty good. Smoking great but almost to my fingers. Same clouds of smoke.  One of the best 45 min smokesI've had. 


Wish it would last through 2 beers.  But it's a good damn smoke. I might buy some more but will shop for a longer burning one.  


Not going to lie, I smoked this one to the nub and it smoked pretty good.  That matters to me.  It finishes great.  Definitely a good smoke.

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...

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 do...
