Gispert cigar review

Gispert cigars. Stokes Rating: 91

Last night I smoked the Churchill and a friend smoked their Robusto. Both of us were very impressed. Construction was top notch. For a cigar that competes on price and has such a nice wrapper, it was good to see it hold together all the way through. Draw was consistent and burn was even.

These cigars are not going to knock you down when you smoke them and some smokers may eschew them due to the American fondness of a bold and strong cigar. If that is what you are looking for, then look elsewhere. Perhaps a CAO or Padron might be more up your alley, but if you are looking for a creamy, almost light smoke, in a great package then this is for you. To use the word light might be a misrepresentation. These cigars have plenty of body, and a certain woody/cedary taste to them. There was little to no bite or harshness and sat well on the palate.

I would recommend this for new cigar smokers or a nice summer smoke fit for a day at the lake.
