Cigar reviews by amateur connoisseur, Ralph Severson
Man! This one is good!! This cigar packs a punch. Not in strength, but in flavor. Subtle sweet Nicaraguan that features a dark oily Maduro wrapper.Long-fillers infused during aging with the delicious flavor of gourmet mocha. Smokes smooth start to finish leaving an extremely pleasant aroma in it’s wake. I immediately ordered a box of…
Rocky Patel’s The Edge – Toro Maduro cigar was mild, bland and and nothing to write home about. It is supposed too have wood, caramel and cocoa flavors with a finish that is dry and long with a hint of pepper. I experienced none of that for my $5.60.
I did not like this cigar. It did not have much of a taste and it consistently burned uneven. The after taste was not appealing. I was disappointed especially at a cost of $4.80.
Earthy, nutty and peppery. Not super smooth. Bite on draw but nice lingering taste. Medium. A nice cigar while on the move. Not bad but also not a cigar to sit down and enjoy or pair with a drink. Only $2.60
Mellow mild flavor of vanilla bean. Even burn, smooth smoke, wonderful aroma. This was a great change of pace. On 12/18/10 I smoked another one. It became brittle, the wrapper flaked off and the filler eroded during smoke. Weird. I check my humidor and everything else appears to be okay, temperature is consistent. Again, weird.
After toasting this this cigar it lit nicely, burned evenly and smoked smoothly. No tongue bite or lingering harsh after effects. Earthly and spicy with a cedar base and medium to full bodied with a tangy finish. This baby cost me $5.59 – no complaints here.
This $7.99 cigar has an aged mixture of Nicaraguan long-fillers with a Maduro wrapper. 5.5 x 54. It was hard to light, had an uneven burn, a hard draw and the wrapper flaked – a lot. On a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best, I’ve give this one a 3 for…
