Montecristo White Series Toro cigar review
6/19/2026
I've been hoarding this one for a long time, maybe 5 years. The White Series has always been one of the best and smoothest medium smoke you can get. Super consistent. 

It seems Connecticut shade wrapped smokes just aren't as popular as they once were. I think it's because there are so many great, mostly Nicaraguan, smokes that are easier and cheaper to make. But there's a reason why these used to be and continue to be popular, while still demanding a top tier price. 


Let's light it up. Lights up easily and immediately it's tasting good. I like how it is a little spongy. I don't feel I will crack it. It definitely has some cedar flavor with easy drawing puffs of clouds if smoke. That's the difference between a pretty good cigar and a great one. If it can make clouds of smoke easily and still be smooth. So far this one's doing it. 

This cigar is going great with my Chinese liquor. Most people have never had Chinese liquor. If you've never had it, the first sip will be like a knock in the face. It's about 130 proof. It's made for slowly sipping. Mainly just to coat your tongue to taste it before eating a huge steamed dumpling. And it's sweet with great flavors of candy and wine on the aftertaste.  

This cigar is all around medium. Nice full draw has plenty of strong flavors of cedar, wood, and little spice. Actually it goes damn good with the liquor. Don't knock it until you try it. 



Half way through and it's gotten better. I'd say it sweeter and spicier. Still so easy to draw. That's why these are so good. They are rolled perfect and are so easy to smoke. Very consistent.  


Did I forget to write about something. Yep. It's smoking so good, there's a lot to say. All I can say is I'm enjoying it a lot and you should too. Just buy one. It's worth the big bucks every now and then. It's not the greatest ever but it does everything a great medium smoke can do. 

Did I not mention I got about an hour into it? Got almost 2 inches left and it is as smooth as can be. Getting full flavored. If you like a complex smoke, this is it. 

That's what makes this great, no overpowering flavors but staying full of different flavors. It's just a great Friday night smoke. 

One of the best finishes. It's just a great smoke that I will pursue for some more. A crescendo of flavors.

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>

Alec Bradley Superstition Robusto cigar review

Alec Bradley Superstition Robusto cigar review 2/23/26 Never had a bad Alec Bradley cigar. Even the ones I've gotten cheap have been excellent.  I think I got this one from a sampler, probably for cheap.  I think these are about $4 or $5 a stick.   It's a short smoke. Nicaraguan habana wrapper with binder and long filler of Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Dominican tobacco.  Starts off with a definite Nicaraguan flavor. Has that leathery, charred oak flavor, but definitely smooth. Just like all the other AB cigars I've smoked.  All different but different flavors and profiles.  Is it good the first inch? Hell yeah.  Did I mention it's cold out?  Yeah, about 28 now.  That's why I chose this short smoke.  By the fire it's not too bad.  And that's why you prepare your fire before. A propane torch a few minutes on your small pieces of wood, super hot in just a few minutes.  Pretty windy though. Bad smoking weather. But it's burning ...

Esteban Carreras Unforsaken Gordo cigar review

 Esteban Carreras Unforsaken Gordo cigar review  1/12/24 Finally a night not super cold. I'm going to smoke my 2nd one of these since my first one around Christmas.  This is a huge Nicaraguan smoke.  I like the larger sizes but this one is so big it hurts my jaw to try to put of teeth on it.  But for the price and amount of smoke you can get out of it,it a damn fine smoke, even it's like twice the thickness of a regular smoke.   It lights up easily and is pulling good.  Pretty mild at first with good cedar and sweetness.   Let me also go ahead and complain about the cedar sleeve, which I think all smokes should come with.  This one, however, seems to be stuck to the wrapper and you have to peel all of the bands off to get it off.  Make it easier to remove damn it.  Anyway, the cigar is smoking great these first 10 min.  Still mild and very smooth.  Like I said it's a huge smoke. It ain't just a thick one to get a...
