 Montecristo Nicaragua Toro cigar review


12/5/25


Been a long time since I've done a cigar review. That doesn't mean I haven't been smoking some really good ones and some new ones that you should be anxious to try. This is not a new one but a smoke by AJ Fernandez for Montecristo that is guaranteed to be good. First time trying so I'm expecting a 95+ smoke.  I'm a huge AJ fan. 



This one is all Nicaraguan. And it's Montecristo so it should be guaranteed to be be flavorful and burn perfectly. 


It's a cold night out, about 43, but not too windy. Was trying to watch college football but let's be real. Who wants and who cares to watch the American and Sun Belt conference? Join the FCS. Not going to lie, being from south Georgia, I could make a team of high school players in my region that could beat half these teams. 


Anyways, let's light it up. Right away it is burning good with lots of smoke. Good medium wood and leather taste but subtle. Just burns pretty smooth. No touch up. 




After an inch it is adding more flavors.  Does it go with my 130 proof Chinese liquor? Actually, I think it does. The Chinese liquor is pretty sweet. This ain't a sweet cigar but has a slightly sweet aftertaste.  All I know is it's tasting good. 


It seems real smooth now. Just a good lingering sweet tobacco taste. 


Burning a little fast but full of smoke and flavor.  Maybe smoked 2 inches in 20 or more minutes. That's not bad, about a third gone. 




Really good. Medium flavor and strength throughout but flavors change making it very interesting. Can taste some pepper now. Now leaving a cedary taste.  Did I mention it goes great with s strong sweet liquor? And a RC Cola? Yep. It does. 


It's just full of smoke now. Smoking faster than I wished but getting my money's worth. Damn, it's just a great flavored cigar. You got to try it. Not too strong but tons of flavor. 


The last inch is getting good. Still not strong but damn good. 



About done. Probably a good 45 min smoke that is all around food. Hopes it go an hour. 


I'd definitely buy again. Prices are high like $280 a box. I think it coukd be worth it if you can get them on sale. These don't go on sale but I'm going watch these. I think these beat anything $6 a stick.

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...

La Aroma de Cuba Monarch cigar review

La Aroma de Cuba Monarch cigar review 10/30/2023 This may be first times smoking one of these.    I've enjoyed a few Don Pepin Garcia smokes and admire his ability to make some great full flavored cigars.    This one is all Nicaraguan with    an oily Connecticut broadleaf wrapper.  I've had this one aging like a year so it is primed for smoking.    Can be had for like $7 when you buy a box.   It's pretty windy here in Georgia on this night before Halloween.    Cold front moving in, but about 60 out now.    Wind calming, pretty good smoking weather.   Lots of flavor at first.    Has a lot going on: spice, sweetness, fruit, dried fruit, and some cedar.    To me it is intriguing, strong, and great, but not my favorite flavors so far.    But I love a complex smoke so I like it so far. If it can develop those earthy Nicaraguan flavors, it may be a winner.  Burning damn good...
