Alec Bradley Medalist robusto cigar review


4/2/12025


I've had this one stored for many years, gotten through a sampler.  I can say I've never had a bad Alec Bradley smoke.  Always delivered what I was expecting.  That's hard to do for any brand and really hard to do for any type of product really.  


This one looks mild.  It looks like a Connecticut wrapper but I read it's Honduran. Honduran binder and Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers.  


Right after lighting I can taste sweet caramel and light oak.  Very smooth the first few minutes.  Pretty mild. 


After 5 or so minutes it picks up some more flavors with a little tiny bite. The bite makes it more medium but still smooth.  It now has clouds of smoke.  Easy draws and leaves a good flavor on your pallet.  




Is this a good golfing smoke? Sure, but I think it's worth it to sit back and relax to smoke this one so far.  It already changed flavors from sweet to woodsy then to grassy and now back to sweet caramel taste.  If you like the caramel sweetness in a cigar and like em not too strong, this will satisfy you.  


30 mins in and it is stronger with a lot more flavors.  It's is spicy now with a good woodsy and cedar flavor.  Still smoking good with plenty of smoke and never hot.  


I think I can get 45 minutes easily.  A lot for a short smoke. 


Drank some Appleton Estate rum earlier.  Goes great with this one. Makes the sweet oak barrel taste come out.  


Can smoke this one to the nub.  Burning my fingers and leaving just some great flavors in my mouth.  Close to an hour burn. 


Yeah I have one more of these and look forward to smoking it again.

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...

Oliva Serie V Diadema cigar review   12/17/2022 I've had this one sitting in my humidor for over a year just waiting for me to smoke it.    This one is 7 inches long and has a beautiful Habana sun grown wrapper.    The cigar smells great.    I got this one from a sampler, which I have 2 of, so I can try it again.    It seems the Diadema has a 7 inch and a 6 inch.    This is the larger one.  I guess I should mention it is cold here in Georgia tonight. About 34 now.    I chopped a bunch of wood this afternoon just to make sure my fire was super hot.    No wind though, so won't be that bad.   I like a figuardo as it is easy to light.    Right away I'm enjoying some caramel and woodsy flavors.    As my jaw chatters and my arms shake.    Damn it's cold.    Thank God for my torch to get the fire roaring.  With the torch, only need 5 minutes and I'm feeling som...

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>
