Cigar Reviews Padron Delicias Maduro Cigar Review cigarobsession.com http This petite stick coming in at 4 7/8×46 offers a dark brown, very tooth and rugged wrapper with firm, crunch construction, some medium veins and an uneven handmade appearance. The aroma is a faint peppery tobacco with a hint of sweetness. First light reveals a very free, open draw and huge smoke output. Flavors are a typical Padron tobacco – slightly sweet, slightly peppery and a medium body. Overall very soft satiny smoke. The first third brought the core of the Padron experience. You get this in just about every stick they make. A smooth earthiness, good pepper kick and zing, rich smoke output that leaves a bit of oil on your lips and a bit of sweetness. The finish is long and peppery, the body moved up to a medium-full along with a nice strength to match. A slight buzz came on just 10 min in. 40 min in at the 1/2 way point the stick is exactly the same, burning perfectly, remaining extremely consistent. Ending at 1 hour to the nub, the flavors proved to be the same from start to finish which is just fine for me – they were great!
Cigar reviews Sancho Panza Double Maduro Cigar Review cigarobsession.com http This 4.5×50 box pressed maduro stick offers a dark chocolate, satin wrapped stick with firm construction, minimal veins, tight seams, a ton of oil sheen and feel and a mild peppery tobacco aroma. First light reveals a plain deep medium bodies tobacco with a heavy after taste. The entire rest of the 45 min experience was exactly the same – very plain with a bad aftertaste of plain tobacco. I want my $2 back. Photography by BG Pictures.
I received one as a gift, but don’t usually smoke Macanudos. I know they are usually pretty mild, so would a strong coffee be adequate, or is this one strong enough for a more substantial, pleasing (i.e., alcoholic) drink?
Ashton Maduro cigars are known for their full, sweet taste and complex aroma. Due to the fact that the Connecticut shade-grown wrapper used to make the Ashton Maduro is very limited in supply, this is considered something of a rare cigar.
The filler and binder are both of exceptional quality, and they are both grown in the Dominican Republic. The combination of Dominican filler and Connecticut shade-grown wrapper has made this a prized cigar the world over.
A large number of cigar reviews have noted that the Ashton Maduro is a fantastic example of how fullness is different from strength. When cigar smokers talk about fullness, they are referring to the pleasure a smoker derives from the taste and the smell of the cigar itself.
This is very different from strength. Cigar refers to the power of the nicotine content in the blend.
One of the hallmarks of a truly great cigar is one does not get a severe punch to the adrenalin that could ruin the essence of the moment. Instead, the smoker gets a smooth, relaxing feeling that goes down just like a neat scotchor, even better, is smoked with a neat scotch.
A full-flavor cigar like the Ashton Maduro is a sure win with both neophytes and veteran smokers for this reason.
When an Ashton Maduro is initially lit up, its taste is very sweet. As the cigar burns, the flavor turns into a very rich and nutty flavor. One begins to notice subtle hints of apple, and a finish that many cigar reviews have referred to as a detectable, very appealing, creamy taste.
This subtle shift of flavors is as smooth as the draw of the cigar, and is never a shock to ones palette. It is present thanks to the fermentation and aging process of the Connecticut-shade wrapper in Sherry-finished, French oak barrels.
Ashton ages these wrappers for a very good reason. The intent is the make the cigar wrapper as oily as possible. New smokers are often surprised to learn that an oily wrapper on a cigar is a not a bad thing. Contrary to the world outside the cigar lounge, an oily wrapper is highly sought after as a distinguishing characteristic of a premium cigar. This is because dry wrappers do not burn as evenly, nor do they taste as good.
Not only is the wrapper of an Ashton Maduro of exceptional quality, but the filler is as well. These cigars are carefully rolled by hand by only the very best torcedores at the Fuente factory. So expert is the constitution of these cigars that the final product always feels perfectly smooth and firm within the grip.
It is just tight enough to not fall apart while smoking. At the same time, however, it is not too tight. A cigar that is too tight has too hard of a draw, but with this premium blend, nothing can be easier than to draw a pleasing and exceptional flavor from within its truly impeccable constitution.

Cigar Reviews review cigarobsession.com Padron 1964 Anniversary Torpedo Maudro This 6×52 stick offers a firm box pressed dark chocolate wrapper with terrific sweet tobacco and spicy aromas. Burn was almost razor sharp all the way down with a perfect draw giving just the right amount of resistance for an easy cool draw. Flavors were plentiful to say the least with many transition points throughout from beginning to end. They were all exceptionally well blended together and smooth, including coffee, cream, earth, pepper, sweet tobacco, touches of spice and hints of cocoa at points. Total burn time to the nub was 1 Photography by BG Pictures.
While the one I smoked for this review was beautiful, these have been hit and miss recently. I’ve had some that look like absolute crap. They shouldn’t have even left the factory. Read more at www.cigarjack.net
Cigar reviews review cigarobsession.com La Aurora Belicoso Maduro Cigar Review This 6.25×52 stick offers a dark brown wrapper showing minimal veins, clean seams and a very firm pack. 3 had to be clipped off the tip for a decent draw, producing just an average amount of smoke on the draw. First third flavors were of caramel and licorice sweetness, a mild earth, slight woodiness and small pepper and spice kick on the long finish. At the half way point flavors changed to a smooth oily, creamy leather with a mild pepper that kicks up on the finish. In the final third flavors remained the same while the draw improved along with smoke production, reaching a very good volume pushing chewy. Thank you very much to viewer Jeremie Plouffe for generously sending this in for review! Photography by BG Pictures.
This is a world class cigar. I really enjoy this brand and I have never been disponted. Complex and no harshness. The draw is perfect. Do your self a favor and try one of these babies. – Curtis
I absolutely loved the flavor, but had some significant problems. The burn started very very badly, and was very uneven. I let it set, extinguish itself then relit, still had some burn problems. This cigar did start to smolder, and with it gave off an aroma I did not prefer. The after taste is absolutely magnificent, nutty, and creamy. I will definitely try more and see if I just had a bad stick. – Ryan
Well, this wasn”t the worst cigar I”ve had, but I did not enjoy it very much. It has a almost dark chocolate flavor which I did not enjoy. Never the less it is still a fine cigar, just not my type. – Papa Hayes

This is an absolutely fabulous cigar, easily worth the 90 rating. It has a nice full body and is really smooth. Plus, it has a perfect draw and lots of smoke. I cannot believe the price. – Jesse
A wonderful cigar from start to finish. This cigar had an easy perfect draw and burn with a medium body and creamy undertones with hints of dark chocolate on the palate. What a deal, at $2.75 a stick this cigar is one to try, at that price you really should just a box. – Mike T.
Just smoked this with a friend. A great cigar for its price. Although it burned a bit too quickly, it did burn evenly. Smooth with flavorful hints of woods and nuts, this cigar will satisfy you. I rate it an 88 and worth trying. – Jon Lung
Love this cigar, tasty, burns well, smells fantastic, can’t loose for the price. – cycleroadie1
Tried a maduro last evening. Very good stick. Plenty of smoke and very flavorful. There was some chocolate and nuttyness early, switching to a dark chocolate later on. Excellent variety of tastes. I”d go 88 easily…. – Mike_B

For the price these were OK, but I found them a little sour. Would not again – Tom C
This one was just OK. Started off well, but then got a bit harsh and bitter. Smoothed out half way through, with light hints of nuts. Decent for the price. Punch is a better example of this size cigar for this money. – MaxZ
I truly enjoy the cigars just as good If not better then La Fontana Vintage Verdi I use to enjoy Smooth draw. Definately worth a 90 – Ron
Rated 86. Creamy, reddish brown and silky wrapper. Slightly tight draw producing plenty of smooth smoke. Some spice through nose and on finish. Medium flavored and medium body. Excellent burn and construction providing a long, white ash that fell even with the foot. Cigar lacked complexity, offering a predominant rich, cedar aroma. – Cigar.com, September 2006 (TN)

smooth, mild and even cigar. The last third is as enjoyable as the first. To be smoked slowly and enjoyed to the fullest. – Fred B.
Smooth, mild, with hints of cream, cedar, and notes of dry wood and leather. Peppery finish. The natural and the maduro are by far the best. Excellent with a good scotch. – Mark
Rated 85. This cigar has a good looking wrapper and it burs wiht a flaky ash. The draw is firm. It is a little creamy and dry, with notes of sandalwood and touches of cocoa and coffee. Medium to full bodied. – Cigar Aficionado, December 2006
This is a great smoke. The stubby size is a fooler,the 4.5 inch smoke still lasts about 35 minuets or more without burning out. Nothing worse than a cigar that wont stay lit if not puffed every few seconds. These are great for the money as well. Smooth with a meaty finish.Thick blue smoke with a lite smell for others. Try one. – Prince of Peace
Double Chateau Fuente add your review
Wonderful. 91 in my book. Silky smooth wrapper. Tasty complex flavor with bold cedar notes and a solid peppery spice through the nose. Woodsy undertones. The smoke produces a euphoric sensation in the frontal lobe and a satisfaction only common in Fuente Cigars. – Tyler C.
This is one of favorites in the Fuente line.This well constructed beauty is a sight to behold. Taking it from it’s, your sense’s are treated to the wonderful aroma of well aged tobacco sheathed in cedar, wow what a combination!
