Augusto Reyes Maduro: the latest addition to the high-in Augusto Reyes family of blinds. Full-bodied and layered with rich toasty flavors, this dark-chocolate colored cigar utilizes a true Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and filler blind of aged Dominican Criollo, Corojo, and Cuban-seed tobaccos. The result is a rich, hearty smoke with deep tobacco flavors, coffee notes, and a spicy-sweet finish Satisfying and complex, Augusto Reyes Maduro is a fine Dominican-made Maduro.
This was the International Cigars advertisement led in to the Augusto Reyes Maduro Toro 6.2 X 54 Cigar, priced at $59.99, this was a sale price, and the normal price was $131.00. Here is my review.
The look and feel of the cigar is firm and hefty in the hand. It is truly a dark chocolate color. It had no spongy areas, no bumps, and no valleys and very tiny veins. It had a leathery earthy aroma, with a hint of sweet tobacco and chocolate, (there I get to use that hint word). So its that time again, time to burn.
I break out the trusty Palio and give it a whack. The dry draw was nice spicy; definite earthy, leathery, and sweet tobacco tones. Ah I get to use the hint word again, with a hint of chocolate. The intensification of the aroma while toasting the foot was incredible. The cigar looks to have ether a double or a triple cop.
The flavors from the dry draw follow through in the first third of the smoking of the cigar. Added would be a definite peppery flavor, a little more than a hint but not too strong. The ash held on through - out the first third. This is usually a sign of good construction, this I will highlight latter in the review. The smoke was thick and cloudy. Thus far this is an enjoyable cigar. There is an annoying split in the first inch of the head of the cigar. Not to deep but still annoying.
The second third as expected flavors intensify. The hint of chocolate is gone the pepper is intensifying. Everything is just fine, excepted that annoying split is deepening. Half way through the second third the ash finely falls. The strength of the cigar at this time should be described as medium full to full. The burn thus far is very good no touch ups.
The third part of this cigar had the flavors intensity even more. Its now full strength and full flavored. I probably would have enjoyed this third part as much as the rest of the cigar BUT, and it becomes a Big BUT. The cigar now is falling apart. The split in the head of the cigar now is through the wrapper and binder.
Whats so annoying about this split is it is an identical problem that occurred in the first AR Maduro Toro that I smoked. I did not write a review saving trying one more, before complaining of the piss-pour construction. So I cannot recommend the AR Maduro in good faith, without trying a third.
