Maduro Review

**Maduro Man** · 08-16-2007, 12:18 PM

I wanted to get some input from the Maduro smokers out there. My favorite maduros...Well let me start by saying the Sancho Panza is a KICK ASS maduro!!! My fav Sancho is the Double Maduro, like I said KICK ASS. Some of my other favs are ... Bolivar Maduro... Remedios 95 Maduro...Cohiba Black... And at the moment my 3 favorite Maduros are... Trinidad Maduro, Churchill 58x7..La Rosa "New Orleans Black" 5x50 ( MAN THAT IS A BOOMING SMOKE!!!) And the Top of the list..#1 is the Santa Clara Havana Reserve "Czar" Thats one of the badest Mothers of them all. If you get a chance try one of each of those next time you stop off at your local cigar shop. Let me know what you think. Also if anyone has tried any of the above smokes let me know what YOU thought of them.

Do you have a review (commentary on the body, construction, burn, ash, flavors, bite, color, bouquet, etc) for any of those? That's what this subforum is designed for. As for your list, the only one I've had is the SPDM, and I agree that it is a great smoke, especially for the price.

My favorites include the AVO maduro, the 601 maduro and the Oliva O maduro.

I have a small commentary on the Bolivar Cofradia...This is a bold, robust smoke with heavy flavors of earth and spice. It's a rich blend of hearty tobaccos and in my opinion, proves to be one of the strongest blends Bolivar has put out to date. This full-bodied cigar is very intoxicating with its decadent flavors, heady aroma, and intense finish.

I thought it was funny...no one actually talks that way except for people who write reviews for cigar publications.

The Gurkha Black Puro is fantastic, IMO. It tastes very, what's the word here? Oh yes: cigarlike.

I've never tried a Gurkha, thanks for the tip. Do you feel Gurkha is kinda turning into the CAO line? It seems like the market is flooded with them. So many to choose from, it's hard to find one you like that will taste the same way every time.

**cigar no baka** · 08-17-2007, 02:07 PM

I guess the magazines are writing reviews for the amateur or wannabe cigar smokers out there. Any cigar smoker who knows a wet rats fart about cigar smoking laughs at the reviews in cigar mags. Essence of sour frog ass, hints of toasted anise and celery seed my fat white ass.

There are quite a few out there, probably more lines than CAO, but I've been happy with most of them I've tried.

As far as good ones, try this link

This a great smoke!!! A true Maduro. Color is a dark black and from the moment I opened the box the smell made my mouth water. This is a full bodied cigar and for a Maduro was very mild right up until the end.(Gave me the spits) It burned evenly through the whole smoke and the ash was a nice white color instead of a dark gray. I was also able to gain a fair amount of length from the ash before I tapped it off for the first time.

If your not into Maduros, give this one a try. You may be surprised.

I really dig the Onyx Reserve No. 2. Enjoy the whole cigar but wife asks what the hell i am doing chewing the finish taste at the end. Love that. Actually get sad when it is done.

**HersheyWalker** · 09-15-2007, 09:46 PM

Sancho Panza's are crap sticks. I wouldn't recommend them or give em away to friends. EVERY stick I had unraveled at the smoking end. Every one. I'm sure the same went for you. The flavor was mild, and the strength was close to smoking air for the first half of the stick. Once you got down to the last third it became a "decent" stick.

For the record, I hate the SPDM.

I believe you got ahold of some fakes. How legit is the seller?

I'm inclined to agree with young Chris. I really enjoy the SPDM and most of the SP for that matter...
but why would someone counterfeit a SP? What kind of profit is there for faking an already inexpensive cigar?

And that, my friend, is the joke.

Beware of the glass top boxes of sancho panzas.

What a command of the King's English

I am sure your reviews would be much more fun and every bit as useful as the mags!

Look forward to more reviews

Cheers,
