Esteban Carreras Unforgiven Toro Grande cigar review 

5/5/2025
Cinco de Maya 

Alright. Yes I'm drinking tequila.  What kind of lightweight drinker doesn't drink some type of Mexican alcoholic beverage on Cinco de Maya. I'm drinking my favorite Cazadores reposado.  And I had homemade fire roasted salsa. But enough about my eating and drinking.  How about this smoke?

If you read my reviews youll hear me praise this brand.  Every one I've smoked has been excellent and very complex. This will be first Toro I've smoked of the Unforgiven. I bought a 10 pack of the gordos and liked them although way too big. Toro is probably my favorite size smoke. 

     

It starts off pretty mild but pulling tons of smoke. Lots of sweetness and creaminess.  Very easy smoking. Has a bit of spiciness but more woody tasting. 


It's like 62 out. Got a small fire. Got my new custom built speaker box jamming in the backyard.  Probably too loud for a Mon night. Oh well. Got to turn it up. 

First 1/3 was good and too smooth. Leaves good aftertaste.  Hope it strengthens.  It's trying to be medium strength. 
2nd 3rd is definitely picking up strength and stronger flavors.  Lots of toasted sweet flavors.  It's kind simple flavored but good and satisfying.  Complex in strength. 




It's definitely kicking up strength.  Pretty damn good now. And my speakers for some reason keep getting turned up.  Need some Mexican music. 

Got to the last 3rd and I might have an hour in. 
Lots more woody taste. About full strength now.  Mouth is full of flavors. It's still sweet with tiny bit of spice and lots of toasted wood flavor.  

Over an hour and it has hit the spot. It's definitely a finger burner. Really spicy finish. Might look to buy some more.

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...

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>
