La Gloria Cubano Classic Maduro Robusto cigar review

7/8/2026


To me, La Gloria Cubano has been one the most consistently respected and best value of top smokes for over 25 years. That sounds like a paid ad, but they deserve the praise. They don't have any gimmicky adds or specials. They don't have the actual cuban heritage in their family history. I think they started out in Miami in the 70's and have always been one of the best premiums at a reasonable price. And I've never had a bad one. Actually every one I've had has been really good. One a few brands can accomplish that and I'm going back 25 years. I put this brand up there with Padron. 


This one is similar to the original classic with Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, Nicaraguan binder, but with a dark Connecticut broadleaf wrapper. 

Starts off strong. It's supposed to be medium but seems a little stronger the first inch. And it's super smooth. That's why I'm a big fan. Never had a bad one, never even had a bad one inch. 


It's Wednesday night and I am looking to smoke a pretty strong one, but not an hour and half smoke. This Robusto should do half that.  I can't drink any more Sazerac to stay up that late. 


It's burning good. Super easy smoking and is full of flavor. The Maduro flavor is a subtle touch on the earthy raw tobacco taste. Just a tad sweet touch at the end. Or maybe that's the bourbon. This one is a bourbon buddy for sure. 


I'm not going to lie, this is one of the best I've smoked in a while. I think I bought these 9 months ago. They are smoking too easy but I'm getting a good 30 mins so far and have a few inches left. Really like how it's so easy to smoke. 

It may have lightened up but leaves a pretty strong taste of charred wood and almost like a liquorice flavor. I wouldn't describe as sweet or cedary, but like a black tea. 


It's definitely more Nicaraguan flavor than Dominican. 


It's smoking so easy. Clouds and clouds of easy smoking smoke. It's not overpowering, but just right. 


It's getting spicy now. Very complex in flavors. Changing ever 15 minutes. That's why I like these. Just full of many different flavors and always super smooth. 

It's finishing strong. It doesn't disappoint. Now it's lost it's spiciness and is mainly dark tea and charred wood taste. Damn good. 


Will I buy again? Hell yes. La Gloria Cubano might be my new favorite brand. The last 3 or so smokes from this brand have been excellent. And the price is very reasonable. If you don't stock up on these, basically you might be wasting your money._

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  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...
