Regius Connecticut Gran Toro Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Wednesday 08 June, 2022 by Richard

For a “gran toro” size, it’s decent value for money. I’ve had the “grandido” before and found it a brilliant smoke for a Churchill size. This was OK, but it had a very ‘powdery’, ashy burn to it, which let it down a bit, and gave it a dry taste. That said, it burned evenly and lasted as long as you’d expect; getting on for two hours. For a few quid more, I’d go for the Brickhouse “Mighty Mighty” instead in future.

Only bought the one cigar. 58x6.5” Connecticut wrapper. Cigar initially looked good. Before toasting/lighting it was obvious that there were a few cracks and splits near the foot. Parts of the wrapper were cracked along the length of the body. On the whole the build was poor. Upon removing the band some of the wrapper peeled away leaving a fault in the outer construction. The cigar was overly dry and needed to stay in the humidor for quite a while before it was anywhere near close to being ready to smoke. The head of the cigar was brittle and practically disintegrated upon punch cutting. Whilst smoking the filler of the cigar continued to shed tobacco flakes leaving an unpleasant mouth feel. The burn was reasonable until it hit the peeling sections of wrapper. Sadly I wouldn’t recommend based on this cigar alone. Taste wise it was robust and peppery. Sweet aftertaste on the draw however due to the state of the cigar it was unpleasant. Not recommended based on this one cigar. Bearing in mind that I only ordered one cigar it could be that I was unlucky. However as the cigar was hand picked and packaged it would seem that this is possibly typical. I would recommend spending a few extra pounds and get an Oliva Serie V Churchill extra or a Montecristo 2. At least that way you are guaranteed to get a cigar that will deliver a pleasant fulfilling smoke. Shame. I had hope for these. Thanks for reading. Happy herfing

Just smoked my first one. Probably a bit bland for my taste, but good burn throughout. 2 hour smoke. Great value.
