Morro Castle

robbyras · December 2010

So I just got one today as part of a sampler... anyone try these yet?

bigharpoon · December 2010

I got one too. They didn't even come up on the search. Totally a blind shot but hey, it's AJ and at that price...

Cool, I can't wait to try mine, I love the Signature Series, one of my favorite smokes and definitely one of the most affordable.

Bought a torpedo 5 pack after a recommendation from the CI staff. I am happy I got em as they are good to go...good flavor and medium in body. I would buy them again for sure.

Just noticed these in the new catalog, very interested in your opinion when you get to them, they look nice and at a decent price.

I got ten belicosos Tuesday, have smoked two so far and enjoyed them. Nice medium bodied cigar at a good price point on sale (10 for $27.50).

I think Shotgun John is right on track. Nice medium body with hints of cream and toast, flavor intensified as the stick progressed and it was enjoyable. It will not win any awards but it is a solid stick as most AJ's are. It is not a MOW in any sense but it is enjoyable. I got mine at $2.75 a stick for 10 which I felt was reasonable

I've had one and like it, it was definetly medium in body(and strength if we are still up in the air as to whether they are the same) and flavor. Its definetly not a after dinner smoke but was a very pleasant mid afternoon job, which is one of my favorite times to have a smoke lately. Smooth, flavors and not spicy but it built up along the way. Typical AJ

Dynaguy · July 2011

I would have to agree with the general tone here. I've smoked ten of them now and while it is a nice medium bodied cigar, it is not a bell ringer. So, no more for me unless they can be had at a pretty sharp sale price. Also, on several samples, the wrapper has split in spite of having several weeks at 67%.

As an AJ fan, I have high hopes for the Morro Castle...I have been wanting to try them for some time now. I just haven't got my hands on any yet.

Just had one this morning. I don't have a good palate when it comes to tasting. I can't retrohale to save my life so I can't get a lot of the flavors. It's smoked well, great draw, burn, and ash. Kinda tasted like wood and a little spicyness. Had an aftertaste of nuts. I would smoke it again, but probably not buy in bulk. But that's just my 2 cents.

Rhamlin · November 2011

I picked up ten a while back, down to 3 now.

Morrow Castles are all about the wrapper, AJ's famous hybrid Ecuadorian Sumatra. Its' the same wrapper found on the original La Herencia Cubana and the Ccom House Blend Cuban Label. I really like the wrapper, but the Morro Castle fillers are 1 dimensional.

I had a couple of 5'ers delivered while I was away and have only smoked a couple of these but I found them to be a really enjoyable stick. Maybe not the most complex stick but like so many other AJ sticks... if the flavor profile is that good why would I want it to change. I believe "Complexity" in a cigar is something realy over rated. Seems to me, more of a challenge to have a stick hold that flavor all the way through rather then to call the changing flavor as the tobacco heats up and changes flavor "Complexity". IMO

Don't get me wrong about them. I keep em in my humi. I really like them, because of the wrapper, and I think most of the flavor for this stick comes from there.

I just smoked a Morro Castle for the first time today and being that I am a noob really to cigars and dont have a very developed palate yet my review will not be as detailed as most.. To me, this is a mild-med cigar that starts out sweet, then moves to a more nutty aspect. This cigar had a great draw and burn. It had alot of smoke(which i like), to me it had a good flavor and was a very enjoyable smoke.

RampMonkey · November 2011

After reading this review from the folks on the forum I had to pick up some. I very rarely go out on a limb here but I figured I'd give it a shot. Right now I'm 0/1 so if they blow, I'm sure someone will be beating down my inbox. =P
