Dynamite Toro Maduro Review

[Tristan]

Executive Summary: Good cigar; give this a 7.25. Very powerfull with some complexity. So strong this approached harsh. Would buy again by the single and would let sit in the humi for a year or more to let it settle down.

Construction: Good
Wrapper: nice

Light: good, even

Super powerfull cigar. On the box at the B&M it said this was for serious smokers only. They aren't kidding. This gave me quite a kick to the family gems.

At first this was very spicy and left a nice aftertaste of chocolately. Along the first third I tasted leather, grassy and cinnamin hints. I had to start pacing this a lot more because it was really kicking my ass. Enjoyed this with a Point Vanilla Cream Soda down until I hit the final third when it started to go more towards an unsweetened dark chocolate taste with the entrance of unwanted tar. I put this to rest at that point.

Nice review, I just added one to the list. Will see if it leaves me on the floor or not... may have to eat a BK triple prior!

Thanks for the review.

Smoke magazine did a review of these- it got very good ratings. Then I saw the ad for them on the next page so I figured it was worthless junk that they were payed to review well. Glad to find out that that may not be the case. They just look so ugly.

Thanks Tristan, sounds like one for the list.

Thanks for the review. I've wondered about these every time I've seen them at the B&M, but I've never pulled the trigger. They just looked so nasty, and I hadn't heard about them. I may have to run by and pick one up, though. The price sure is right.

Tristan:
A good review, and unlike the others, I have never heard of them. I will look more closely for them.

sounds tasty, how would you compare it to the RP Edge?

[Dirty Dee]

Thanks for the review. On a whim I picked up a couple of these about a month ago. I gifted one away and I'm letting the other rest in my humi for that special occasion. Thanks to you letting it sit a while might tame it enough for a really enjoyable smoke.

The marketing stuff says they compare. The only category they are similar in is that they are both strong and have a darker flavor.

I would say the Dynamite tasted a lot stronger to me in that it was not creamy and refined and was bordering on harsh at times. This might also be because my palatte is that of a noob. I've only been smoking for 5 short years

If you want a smoother cigar then the edge would be a better choice. If you want no holds barred the Dynamite will be worth a shot IMHO.

Sounds like a powerful cigar, tbh it doesnt sound flavoursome enough but me but thanks for the review!

Excellent review, might not be ready for something that stong, but sounds like it belongs on the list to try in the future.

I have been smoking cigars for a lot less than 5 yrs and I smoked a Padilla Miami 8/11 3 months ago recommended to me by a guy at my B&M. It was a corona and it damned neasr burned my mouth off I eventually got it under control but, I knew I was in for a fight. It was tasty and balanced and complex and all that good stuff but, it was one strong SOB. I read up over at Smoke mag about these dynamites and the write up is forbidding It might be pretty good.
