I really wanted to be blown away by the Alfonso. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very nice cigar, medium bodied, flavorful, great construction, but there was nothing that blew me away. When it comes down to it there are cigars half the price or even less that I enjoyed equally, so I couldn’t give it a perfect score. I bought two sizes, and who knows? Maybe my palate was off that day, or maybe I just missed something in the first sample. If the next one knocks my socks off I’ll revise my review.

A wonderfully smooth, perfectly rolled, elegant cigar. Creamy, peanuts, butter and salt, some cedar and overall perfect construction. Highly recommend these. A must try.

This is my go to special occasion cigar. It’s always a delightful and consistent experience with the Extra Añejo. If you like a mild and flavorful cigar give this a try. The price is a bit high but I continue to buy when I can because I’m always pleased with this cigar.

It is sweet, tea-like, and fermented when lit. The smoke is thick but delicate. It feels like a big mouthful of cotton candy when you first take it. The whole mouth is very full, and the smoke is very thick and rich. It is hard to describe the taste of the smoke for a while. It feels like being hit gently. The taste is slightly sweet and a little spicy. After one or two mouthfuls, I got used to the impact and finally I could slowly taste it. The smoke is slightly sweet, a little sour, and the fleeting charcoal is fragrant and strong. The taste is a little fat, grainy, and slightly spicy. Generally speaking, it is not heavy. The smoke is soft and thick when it passes through the nose, with a slightly roasted taste.

First I must mention that the reason I give it a 3 star and not a 4 is because of the high price. This cigar is boring. Period. Picture a beautiful elegant lady whos dressed like an angel but with almost no personality. That is the Alfonso. There are some flashes of brillance but overall the flavour is rather blant. Very low nicotine strength and medium body. The construction however, was impeccable. I can’t recall smoking another cigar that burned as well and even. Would I recommend it? Maybe, if you have the extra cash to shell out, by all means give it a go but compared to say an Ashton Cabinet no.7, a cigar a third of the price, this is a bit disappointing to say the least.

Excellent Connecticut! Got a lot of cedar, cashews and peanut from this. It was so smooth and delicious. Construction was absolutely on point with a perfect draw and awesome smoke output. Love the bands on this. Very classy cigar. Price point is a little higher than I like but I thought the flavors absolutely delivered. Glad I got to try it.

The cigar was good. I expected it to be at the same level as Atabey or Byron 21st Century as these are all hitting the same price points. The Alfonso Extra Añejo No 4 was a few levels below the ones I mentioned above meaning I would have no second thoughts about getting an Atabey or Byron 21st. The Alfonso Extra’s construction and performance were on point for the price point but the flavor notes were aromatic cedar, nutmeg and peanuts and that is it. It did not really preform well in the flavor dept. It did have transitions so it did not smoke linearly. I could tell it was age well as the spice note were presently mild.
