 Perdomo Small Batch 2005 Maduro Toro cigar review 


3/22/2024


I been smoking Perdomo cigars since about 2000 and their quality has been one of the most consistent in the industry.  


Never had a bad one.  I wouldn't say this brand is on my top 5 list but they're up there with like top 20.



This is an all Nicaraguan smoke.  Supposed to have 10 year aged tobaccos.  And the wrapper was aged in Buffalo Trace barrels.  I'm drinking some George Dickel Rye Whiskey now, so it should go good together.  This cigar is supposed to be the most robust of the 3 wrappers offered in this small batch series. 


I even read the tobaccos in this one are the smaller leaves.  Not sure how thatwkes it better but they say it balances the flavors.  I dont know. Maybe that's the excuse for shortening this Toro to be a Robusto grand.  


It's windy out but only mid 50's.  Too wet to start a good fire .  Aint that cold.  This one lights up easy and has good smooth caramel taste right away. 


It first burns a little uneven and I fix it.  It's pretty medium at first with cool smooth draws and decent amount of smoke. 


I pick up an earthy cedary slightly peppery flavor.  That taste is now on top of the original caramel taste.


Still slightly burn uneven but seems to correcting itself. 


It's turning into a damn fine smoke on a nice night now.  It's definitely strengthened.  Lots of charred oak and caramel flavors.  I am squishing it slow it down.  I did age this one for maybe a couple of years.  I think this one is aged perfect.  Lots of clouds of smoke. 


Might have to go get one my half shots of my rye whiskey. I think it goes great with this one. 




Still smoking great.  It's now still strong with more peppery taste .  Leaves a spicy and sweet taste on your tongue.  Really like this Nicaraguan.  All around good flavors and still smooth with lots of smoke.  


I think I got this from a sampler and I'm gonna start shopping for some more .  I think it is a $6+ a stick hard yes.  Lots of competition at that price, but this one is all around good and worth it.

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>
