Revolution Style Gilbert de Montsalvat cigars recommendation

Revolution Style by Gilbert de Montsalvat cigar recommendation. 152 mm long and almost 24 mm thick (ring 60). The cigar, of course. The wrapper comes from Ecuador, the binder from the Dom. Republic and the filler comes from Nicaragua. Can I expect a taste explosion here? It is quite decent! Because this is my cigar recommendation, especially for beginners. By the way: take a look at the 3-minute story about GILBERT. It gives you a very personal insight from the owner of the brand, Raymondo Bernasconi, about the "near-crash" of the brand and how it was resurrected.

Cigar review 60-Sec-Clip with my cigar recommendation

This time I lit the cigar with a match. But I stored the box too damp. You can see what happened in the short clip 😮

I tested three of them.

Gilbert de Montsalvat Revolution Style in Gordo format

If you think you've smoked everything your humidor has to offer, then let me tell you about a cigar that will not only blow your palate away, but also your idea of a full-bodied smoking experience: the Gilbert de Montsalvat Revolution Style in the impressive Gordo format. So grab your best cigar scissors and let's dive into an adventure full of full-bodied clouds and explosions of flavor.

Huiii... she's really steaming 😅

The first impression: love at first sight or rather love at first sight?

With its imposing appearance in gordo format, the Gilbert de Montsalvat Revolution Style makes it clear even before the first puff that this is not a case of spilling the beans, but rather a case of making a splash. The wrapper from Ecuador lovingly envelops the binder from the Dominican Republic and the filler from Condega, Nicaragua - an international love story in tobacco form.

The burn-up was exemplary on two of them. In one specimen, the flame had to correct the skew or wave burn every now and then.

Smoke: A gentle giant with rough edges

The Revolution Style starts the smoking experience softly, as if it were taking you gently by the hand, only to show you - after a few minutes - with surprising spiciness that even gentle giants have rough edges. However, the spiciness is not too sharp, but an excellent companion on the rest of the journey. A real head of character among cigars, which should impress both beginners and experienced smokers.

The ash is almost compact 😅 It is better not to overdo it with waiting for the ash to settle.

Taste: A journey on the palate

From the first pepper note that jolts you awake a little, to the deep, almost philosophical coffee flavor discussion, to the light almond flavors and still other nut flavors that dance around the room as if they were on their way to a secret tea party - this cigar is like a culinary journey on the palate. Every puff brings new surprises and makes you wonder: "Was that a hint of adventure or pure joie de vivre that I tasted?"

Pleasure pleasure over 2 hours!

Fire: Burning behavior as reliable as your best buddy

A good brand is like a good friend - always there when you need it. And the Gilbert de Montsalvat Revolution Style does not disappoint. The cigar burns evenly and reliably, without being a bitch. Many a partner can take a leaf out of its book! I have tasted three examples and one of them breaks out of this pattern. The flame was allowed to correct the skewed burn again and again.

Conclusion: The revolution in the humidor

The Gilbert de Montsalvat Revolution Style in Gordo format is more than just a cigar, it is an invitation to leave the familiar behind and embark on an adventure full of flavor, character and surprises. It combines quality and slight complexity in a format that impresses and delights.

Whether you enjoy it alone to send your thoughts on a journey, or in company to share the Revolution Style, this cigar will not disappoint. Get ready for a smoky revolution that will take your humidor by storm!

However, there is one drawback: Gordo formats often have one thing going for them: their general burning behavior. With all three specimens, I couldn't leave them too long before the next puff, otherwise they would go out.
