Brick House Maduro Robusto cigar review

2/2/26


Only smoked a few JC Newman smokes. Not bad from my memory but none have I wanted to go out and buy again. Let's see with this one. It is a little pricey at like $8 a smoke when you buy a box. Looks good, smells good, pretty thick, and seems densely packed. 

Brazilian Arapiraca Maduro wrapper with a blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers and a Nicaraguan binder.  What is Arapiraca? I have no idea. Let me look. Oh, its an area in Brazil. Oh, ok. 


Will it go with the tequila I'm drinking? Let's see.


These are supposed to be strong.  Starts off pretty strong. Right away it has some subtle sweet caramel taste and can taste it on the aftertaste.  


Burning good. I do slightly touch it up to keep it burning square. Its burning a 30 degree angle. Let me touch it some more. 

Yeah I got it burning damn good now.  Seems rolled well.

It's a robusto so it's not going to burn too long. But it's earning it's worth. Lots of smoke and full of flavor. 


Smoking too good now. Hard not to smoke it quick. Picking of some black pepper but still has the slight sweetness.  Aftertaste is a little stronger with more of that earthy Nicaraguan flavor. 


I think it's smoothed out. More of a spicy, earthy smoke but easy smoking. 


Had to let it go out. Had to go take the trash cans to the curb.  What you don't think I have to stop and do chores? Can't just sit and drink and smoke, listening to the music by the fire all night.  But the fire is going good. It's like 30s here but good smoking weather. It does easily start back up where I left it with a little help from my lighter, like I never put it down. 


It's full of flavor now. Pretty damn good and strong. I think I got an hour out of it, including the 5 minute break.  


Is it worth $8? Maybe. I guess that's the going rate for a strong yet smooth one. I like it.  I'll look for more, no doubt.

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>
