Maduro Review

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.

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. :smiley36:

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.

Onyx Reserve

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.

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.

What a command of the King's English :smiley20: I am sure your reviews would be much more fun and every bit as useful as the mags!

Look forward to more reviews:smiley32:

Ashauler Hooked Me Up!!!

Smoked a “Cusano 18 Paired Maduro” today. Ashhauler hooked me up with this wonderful stick(along with a bunch of others) on a recent trade. This was a GREAT smoke. It was described to me as a “Good Spicy Maduro Smoke” and that’s just what it was.

This stick lit well and was mild for the first half of the smoke. The smoke it created was light and creamy. Very nice bouquet that had small hints of strong coffee. The burn was a little uneven but that is pretty much the only thing bad that I can say about this stick. The flavor became more and more spicy towards the end of the stick but it was pleasant, never overpowering. I had a hard time putting this stick down. I almost needed a roach clip to finish it. Once I did finish it, the taste stayed with me long afterward. In short, this was a very enjoyable smoke. I really would like to pick up a box of them for my humi!

Thanks again Ashauler for hooking me up with such a great smoke. :smiley20:

Maduro Fav

I think I have found a favorite maduro, at least for this week.:smiley2:
And, that fav would be:
http://i31.tinypic.com/2hxudsj.jpg
The Oliva Series O Maduro Robusto (5x50).

As always, I can't be patient and let my recent purchases go in the humidor for a few weeks to get a good breather, so as soon as UPS rang the doorbell, I tore into the box and fired-up one of these beauties.
It was the first Oliva I have ever tried and I am impressed. Good burn, easy on the pepper, nice creamy smoke and good all the way down to the fingertips.
Gotta save-up a few bucks and score a box of these. :smiley20:

I posted this in another thread but I wanted to make sure some others found it so here is my review of the "Habanos Fuerte"

Smoked a “Habanos Fuerte” tonight. This was the second one of these I have smoked. I was turned on to these by Ashauler some time ago in a trade. The one I got from him was great! The one I smoked tonight I got from a local friend of mine and all I can say is; MAN I forgot just how good these were.

Toasted nicely and the burn was even from start to finish. Thick white smoke and a beautiful bouquet that continued to linger long after I was done. There were a few other people in the room that walked up to me and asked what I was smoking. The ash on this stick was able to build up and I was able to tap it off at my wanting.

Very nice powerful, full bodied smoke with no over powering stinging to the pallet. I loved this cigar more then I loved it the first time. The Dr. Pepper I smoked it with really brought out the spiciness of the stick. I also noted faint caramel and coffee to it as well. The smell of this cigar stayed with me long after I was done and it left me wanting more. I will be in the market for a box of these soon.

If you’re looking for something that will dance on the pallet and not overpower you, this is one you got to try. If you have not had one of these I urge you to try one…Let me know what you think.

Thank you again to Ashauler for turning me on to such a beautiful stick:smiley32:

Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Maduro Robusto

I recently had one of these. I got it in an anniversary sampler. I really enjoyed the flavor though I still haven't figured out how to discern what they are yet. It had a great draw, plumes of white smoke and was really well constructed.

I'm still pretty new to cigars but I find I really enjoy maduro's. While I haven't tried a whole lot of different makes/models of cigars as of yet (I'm working on it right...lol) here's a couple of maduro's that I've tried that I've really enjoyed:

- Santa Damiana Vintage Maduro
- Rocky Patel Vintage 1990, and the Nording maduro
- CAO MX2
- Padron Family Reserve 45th Anniversary maduro

My hunting partner was in Coeur d'Alene, ID in mid Oct and brought me back several boxes of cigars and two of the Padron 45th Anniversary cigars. We had those two as our celebratory cigars after his dad bagged his bull moose this year (which I helped him get). Those were VERY tasty cigars. Possibly made better by good company after a good hunt, and sitting on a ridge over a beautiful valley watching the sunset.
