This Honduran blend is one of the smoothest and creamiest we’ve found anywhere, which makes this stick one of the best beginner cigars and coffee pairing cigars we know! It starts off with a creamy butter flavor note, and expands into a smooth flavor profile with notes of cedar, nuts, and earth.

This cigar was quite impressive and every bit as buttery as you described. I am smoking one right now and I got to say wow this thing is tasty and so far my burn his razor sharp so in conclusion I have zero complaints and will be purchasing this fine cigar again for sure.
Brent –
Amazing smoke paired it with some fine rum. Incredible! Highly recommend I’m very impressed.
John Marshall –
Well consructed with smooth Habano wrapper, no large veins and a nice tripple cap.
Very mild and smooth cigar. Pre-light aroma is of sweet tobacco. Tastes of cream, light pepper and a buttery finish throughout this smoke. Great with a good cup of coffee.
I give it four stars because it is a great morning cigar or a great cigar for the beginner. Consistent all the way through.

In the beginning of this smoke i got a slight peppery taste. After a few minutes of smoking it went into a creamy buttery taste that lasted. I loved it and will be ording this again.
rjdaines (verified owner) –
I am comparing this cigar to other $8.50 sticks I have smoked. Appearance was wonderful, no noticeable flaws and the band was great. Pre-light the stick had a light tobacco, hay, and barnyard aroma which was enjoyable. The draw was quite loose after a straight cut. After light up the taste was very mellow (and stayed that way), I didn’t get the creamy notes but that may have been me still getting over a cold. The burn was good, not razor tight but did not require any touch ups. Ash held on reasonably well, The smoke time was fairly fast, about 90 minutes, as expected from the loose draw.
Overall a very good stick but not a 5-star at the $8.50 price point.

Thanks for a very helpful review! We rely on these to help keep the quality of our cigars up! I appreciate it! -Tim

I just finished off my first of these new sticks and i have to say it is a very well crafted stick in my opinion. On the dry draw i got a predominately sweet straight tobacco flavor, at first light i retrohaled most of the draw and got a very strong buttery taste. It took me a few puffs to really get all the full flavors. Very creamy flavor as well as a very creamy textured smoke, with a very good medium roast coffee flavor and very buttery notes on the retrohale. I am mostly a medium plus bodied guy but i found myself loving this stick. Great construction and overall good burn i did have to touch it up in the final third. I got about a 2hr smoke time which i like for a stick at this price point so good value for money there. I paired it with my medium roast coffee and i will say its a match made in heaven this is by far the best coffee pairing and early morning stick ive had so far. For me personally this is not an anytime smoke because i prefer more full bodied sticks during the day or in the afternoon but this is definitely my new go to morming coffee smoke. Overall for me its a 90-92 rated smoke. Very well done and very interesting buttery notes in this blend. For the price this is 5 star for me.

I’m a beginner cigar smoker but I know what I hate. I don’t hate this stick. On the contrary I love it. The draw is just right to me and it’s as smooth as a baby’s backside. It has a good ash and so far an excellent burn. You’ve got yourself a definite fan.
Jared (verified owner) –
Reminds me of the Fratello Oro. That stick is more forward with the butter, where as the viking has a tad more spice and musky barnyard type notes. Burn needed some minor touch-ups, and draw was consistent and on the looser end of normal. I’ll be buying more, made for a pleasant nightcap.
cubz83 (verified owner) –
Very nice smooth creamy buttery flavor all throughout. I also got hints of wood,leather and caramel. I really enjoyed this stick with a nice cup of joe in the evening. The draw was perfect and almost a perfect burn as well. Thanks a lot cigars daily!
Ralph Hatcher (verified owner) –
I have smoked two sticks so far. The first stick tested in my humidor one week before I smoked it and the second rested three weeks. Both had problems with the wrapper cracking and coming apart. The burn was uneven but not too terrible. I enjoyed the flavors and mild smoke.
Other than the wrapper problems I really enjoyed the Filthy Viking. I would recommend it to anyone that’s asks me about it.
I would like to see the Filthy Viking in a Robusto and/or Torro as well.
I enjoy Cigars Daily on you tube. Great reviews and information.
Tim Swanson –
Thanks for your comment! We’re working on getting a Robusto on our shelves now!
jose.fgaribay (verified owner) –
I recently purchased The Filthy Viking in Toro size and I really enjoyed the flavors that this cigar has. Both my brother and I are new to the cigar culture so my experience is quite low as far as the cigars I have smoked but thanks to Tim and his YouTube videos I have learned a lot. I had a good Burn very consistent throughout the entire cigar But using a wood match gave it a better taste I’m really looking forward to purchase a box soon I highly recommend this cigar if you’re a beginner.
Ralph Hatcher (verified owner) –
When I said in my review that I would like to see the FV in a Robustos and or Torro I meant to say torpedo and Robustos.
Thanks for a good cigar and great you tube videos

Smoked my second Filthy Viking ever tonight after giving it about a month to chill in my Humidor. OMG! So good on so many levels! The smell out of the wrapper is incredible and the smoke itself is heavenly. Excellent draw and burn, super mellow creamy taste even on retrohale. No acidity or harshness at all. This is just a wonderfully smooth smoke. Definitely could be an everyday smoke for me. Absolutely worth the modest price. Thank you Cigars Daily for creating this incredible cigar.
Jeff (verified owner) –
With all the hype I was really looking forward to this stick. Presentation was great and draw was fine. The flavor was good but the smoke wasn’t as creamy as I’d expect for the price point. My stick burned terribly uneven, especially compared to any other RP sticks I’ve smoked. I tried to let it burn it self straight but I needed to touch up/correct it 4 times to keep it from going out. I really wanted to like it but in this price point it should be better.
jdennett40 –
Smoked my first Filthy Viking last week. Have to say its an amazing cigar, smooth creamy smoke with mellow sweet tobacco and coffee notes. Gets stronger after the 1st 1/3 transitioning from a latte to more of a flat white. Honestly reminded me of a Cohiba Siglo ii. Smooth mellow smoke, a must for any beginner or medium bodied cigar lover
aruiz (verified owner) –
Was a great smoke the only reason I gave it a 4 star review was the stick I smoked burn a little uneven ( could be me being a beginner I might not have lit it correctly? But have been smoking for a few months now having 1 cigar almost every day. But this is a very smooth cigar and mellow. And the wrapper started to unravel a little bit past the half way point but I was able to smoke through it and didn’t have any problems after that. I have 6 more resting in my humidor and they will be smoked and enjoyed for sure. Thanks Tim for the awesome reviews. It scored and 88 in my cigars daily journal.
kerrymkee –
I finally got to try it! Ordered it back in December 2018, it was warm enough 50 degrees on the Eash Coast to smoke it outside. The Filthy Viking in toro delivered, it was smooth and creamy and quite a long smoke about, 2:10. I’m a new smoker and understand why its part of your beginner’s sampler.
Thanks
Fred (verified owner) –
I had high hopes for this stick but the draw was so loose that it was more of a hassle to smoke than an enjoyment. This also made it produce minimal smoke output. The flavor i did get out of it was enjoyable but it was just too hard to judge. I had to quit about a third of the way. I hate to give a negative review but at the same time thats the whole point is to give honest opinions. I would try it again and may order one and just hope this one was a flawed stick.
danserrano16 –
Enjoyed this Bad boy with some coffee this morning.
Pick this up if you like smooth light body cigars.
Trey Earnest (verified owner) –
I got this along with a couple of other lighter bodied cigars to help me narrow down what cigar I want to give my brother for his first stick. So far, I’m not sure if I need to try the other cigars I bought because this stick is fantastic. I normally don’t smoke lighter bodied cigars but this stick will be one of my new go to’s. It’s super smooth and has a nice creaminess to it. I’m looking forward to the next one I smoke.
Charles (verified owner) –
Has that smooth, yet astringent/metallic quality that you get from drinking skim milk. I’d only tasted that in a Cuban Hoyo, but the F. Viking has the same thing going for it as well. There’s really a good amount of complexity to the blend, but the flavors aren’t very intense (solid med. bodied stick), so attention and quiet enjoyment are rewarded. Nice sweet and peppery finish ties everything together nicely. Interesting and delicious Habano — will be getting more!
Will Lunny –
What a great stick! I had it with a little Jack and Coke. What a delightful flavor. Smooth, light, and just a touch sweet. Great draw. Only issue I had was I needed to touch it up a couple times due to a slightly uneven burn. As a new smoker this is my fav and I plan on getting a box to fill my humidor.
2Putt_4Sure (verified owner) –
After a long winter I just smoke the FV after a long winter nap. I was pleasantly surprised, this is a great tasting stick. It will definitely be in my humidor in the future. Nice move Cigars Daily!
juanp82198 –
Absolutely my favorite cigar. Amazing flavor amazing complexity amazing construction amazing burn not one thing I can say bad about it. So creamy so delicious I would buy box after box if I could!
fontdragon (verified owner) –
This has to be one of my favorite sticks I’ve tried since getting into Cigars. I haven’t truly found any cigar atm that would meet my need to buy a box of it so far until this one. It’s smooth and smokey and just well creamy. It doesn’t leave your mouth feeling like it had an ashtray in it an hour later and it has one of the more pleasing aromas in the air while I smoke it.
Chris –
Was given this stick as a recommendation from cigars daily staff. They were out of one of my favorites and called to tell me. I asked them to surprise me with something else and this was it. Man was I surprised. This has now easily become one of my favorites and will keep coming back for more. As someone new to cigars this is one that anyone can enjoy. Thank you!
Jacob Wiley –
Just finished my first filthy viking today and the only disappointment I have from it is that I don’t have another one to smoke right after. It is also the first cigar i have ever smoked right down to the nub
Jon (verified owner) –
Pure joy! Fantastic construction, creamy caramel taste, great burn!!!
Great job Cigars Daily!!! Big fan!!!
kristijan.talajic (verified owner) –
What a nice blend, smooth and creamy! If you are looking for a nice smoke, I would definitely suggest trying out this stick! Bought 1 to try and couldn’t regret more that I didn’t order more straight away… Next order will definitely be a box of 20!
Great job Tim!!
Greg (verified owner) –
The perfect golf course smoke. I’ve smoked 4 of these golfing and have never had to relight or touch up, they burn terrific. Great flavor.
jack252525 (verified owner) –
Was really hoping for that creamy cigar but unfortunately a lot of the cigar was bitter. Only near the end of the stick did I finally hit creamy. Burn was uneven and had to touch it up twice. The draw with tight and I had a hard time getting a lot of smoke. This is pretty much how it was after smoking three of these. To many bitter sections.
Geoff Rapier –
Overall, a great medium cigar. That being said, it was WAY stronger than most other Connecticuts I’ve tried. This cigar is great for someone wanting to branch out to maduros and other medium cigars to see if those are something they like. The Viking I tried was quite strong and spicy! Very rich with strong cocoa flavor. La Galera and Oliva were so buttery and tame compared to this one!
Judd Rooks (verified owner) –
My new favorite stick. Got one of these in a sampler and was blown away. It was full of flavor from start to finish. If you like creamy and buttery this one is for you. It’s rare for me to want more after I finish a toro. I’m mad I don’t have another. Will be ordering a box this week for sure. I hope these stay around forever!!
Tim Swanson –
Oh no! bitter is absolutely not what the Filthy Viking is about! I hope you’ll give another one a shot at some point man!
Jacob Brooks –
I have been waiting on this guy for so long. For a while I was in a Maduro phase, but this stick of butter just helped me slip right out of it. After a few weeks in my humi this Viking burned perfectly, not a single relight or touch up. Great job Tim! Oh, p.s., the band is severely underrated. Excellent graphics, sharp contrast and great choice of colors. Wonderful presentation!
Scott M Kordas –
I just smoked a filthy Viking and I found it to be a good stick peppery with the grass note With definite get some more
John Hill –
Very nice medium/mellow stick, very easy to enjoy daily quality is great and flavor is buttery smooth. This is a most for anyone interested.

Bought 2 to try and the smoking experience was sensational. Smooth draw and easily smoked down to the stub.
chrismag10.cm@gmail.com (verified owner) –
super sweet all the way through. I am pairing it with a belgian triple right now and its amazing. cold draw sweet cream and cashews. a very nice mellow spice. final 3rd spice ramps up with sweet earthy almond and white pepper with a lovely faint vanilla bean flavor.. sweetness is no joke and will be ordering more. beautiful smoke after a long day. thank again guys for a great reccomendation
jrsdws (verified owner) –
i’m slowly tiptoeing out of the waters of budget bundle sticks and super mild and this was an amazing smoke!! Every flavor described was present and for the first time, I could taste them. I will always have these in my humidor.
jrsdws (verified owner) –
My favorite smoke to date. The description is dead accurate….smooth, buttery, creamy. Outstanding burn and very consistent throughout the stick.
Rbk5438 (verified owner) –
All I can say is wow! I loved this stick from light up to the tiny nub I smoked it down to. I couldn’t put this down. The flavors were creamy and buttery. I got the hay and earthy notes as I transitioned through the cigar. The habano wrapper on this was immaculate and I loved the band. The draw was perfect and so was the burn on this. Being at an $8.50 price point for me is a great value especially on the flavor it delivered. I will definitely be ordering more of these as I want these as a staple in my humidor. I might downsize to a robusto as I like the smoking time on those a little better. Great stick and I’m excited to try other American Viking offerings!
Les (verified owner) –
I just received my cigars today and as I usually do I tore the box open and lit one up, and…………. wow! I’m impressed. I wouldn’t consider this a light bodied cigar, but rather medium to even medium+. Delicious flavors, reminds me why I miss Honduran tobacco. Well done!
Mike T –
It was so fun to take this for a spin on a recent trip to AZ. After a wonderful round of golf, I swung by the HQ to try the Filthy Viking. I figure no better place to enjoy this than in the lounge.
My goodness, this delivered. While I personally typically prefer a bit more of a full bodied cigar, this is an impeccable mild/mid-body blend.
It delivered what it promised, with some surprising complexity and excellent construction. An excellent cigar in every way.
(I was a 91 on this).
zachdisalvo@hotmail.com –
I loved this cigar at light up. But after that i was really struggling to keep it from smoking too hot. I’m gonna try it again for sure. Still recommend. It was one of my more beginner smokes. So still learning and improving my smoking. Great cigar.
Joey (verified owner) –
Great stick! Has the flavor profile I go for with notes of cedar, eart, and nuts. Always a smooth draw with a nuce even burn and tons of thick white smoke. Definately starts mild and goes towards medium and you smoke. Very consistent cigar as each one I’ve had was just as good as any other. I reviewed the robusto when I started smoking cigars this year and knew I like it. Now that I can identify different notes I absolutely enjoy everything about this cigar.
Timothy Bowles (verified owner) –
First time smoking the Filthy Vikings. Watched Tim’s YouTube review and it got me interested. Ordered and they were shipped out the next day. Bubble wrapped and packed airtight with a Boveda pack inside to maintain perfect humidity. I’ve ordered from several sites and he is setting what should be the industry standards.
The Filthy Vikings will be a staple in my humidor for both myself and my friends that are new to smoking. Yes it’s just that buttery smooth on the palate that even the most inexperienced cigar smoker will enjoy it.
I paired it with sweet tea on sunny Florida afternoon. The buttery smoothness maintained throughout the entire cigar. The faint flavor of nuts started about midway and stayed unit the end. The ash was the longest ash on any cigar I’ve ever smoked. I literally had to break it off because it had such staying power. A testament to the quality of the fillers and construction. Completely even burn and never had to relight.
This cigar is a well kept secret within the Cigar Daily family.
There’s only one way that you’re going to find out if you like it or not. And as Tim puts it that’s “with a cut light.”

BUTTER! BUTTER! BUTTER!
Notes of Butter spill out of this cigar! One of my favorite sticks.
Jeff in West-Central MN –
Received a Toro in an AM sampler pack. Smooth throughout with a balance of creamy mouthfeel, toasted grains, and a hint of cedar on the retrohale. I had to touch up the burn, but I was outside with a bit of a breeze. The draw was a bit tight, but overall I would come back for more of these.
TwoChief SplittingMoon (verified owner) –
Today, I smoking the filthy Viking toro, and here’s the run down. After the cut and a light, there is some spices on the retrohale, maybe white pepper, almond, and a soft creamy texture. It’s a light body stick. At the end of the first third, I actually agree that there is a buttery nuttiness. It has a nice sweetness in the smoke. I don’t usually go in for these type of cigars but I will say that this one is pretty good. The retro hale does clam down with the pepper, it has become a lot smoother. It has a cool looking band. I want to say there’s a smidge of leather, but it seems to be very light. Wavy burn line that isn’t needing any attention right now. This is an easy cigar, great for someone new to cigars. It’s pretty consistent. Just smooth, buttery sweet almond, with a light white pepper retro. It’s not really a long finish but I would say medium finish. Medium body, low strength. The leaf did try to unravel itself in the middle a little. It seems very slightly oily, maybe it’s just that sweet creamy buttery texture on the palate. At the start of the final third I did start picking up on an earthy cedar. The retro hale is a bit strong but it’s not peppery anymore. Overall, it was enjoyable, light, it was pretty consistent throughout, definitely flavorful. It did lose some points for construction. I’m going to say that I’d score it around 85 points.

Rastis88 (verified owner) –
Received my box of Vikings 4 days ago (I’m in Australia) I couldn’t wait any longer.
It’s better than I expected! Butter, smooth pepper and a clean aftertaste. I smoked it a bit fast but it burnt brilliantly and didn’t get hot. I’ll be getting another box asap.
Christopher Sparks (verified owner) –
Overall a good smoke. First and second third was mainly nutty with a little earth. Final third became a tad bitter. Burn was great the whole way and draw just a little tight but nothing to complain about.
Ryan Glover (verified owner) –
Jumped the gun and smoked one right when I got them and wasn’t impressed with the flavor. Let the others sit in the humidor for a week and trying one now. Great buttery flavor and solid draw. Adding these to my rotation.
MuffinStumps (verified owner) –
In reality I’d give it 4.5. Flavor was nice, but I missed out on the buttery flavor that others have described. This is a rare flavor to find in cigars, and I find that it often really depends on that you’re pairing it with. Oscar males the Island Jim, which when combined with Captain & Coke has the most buttery experience I’ve ever gotten from a cigar. I went into this one hoping to find that same thing but I didn’t taste it. That being said, Stull a great smoke that I will without a doubt be purchasing again.
Anonymous (verified owner) –
The start of this cigar is fantastic. That buttery taste was different from anything I’ve tasted. It then turns into a cedary taste, which is not for me. Good construction.
Doug Maune (verified owner) –
I find myself gravitating towards darker, fuller flavor cigars lately but then I tried the Filthy Viking. Wow. This is what a mild cigar should taste like. Halfway through the stick I whipped out my phone and ordered a box. This one goes on my cigar Mount Rushmore and that is NOT hyperbole. Great cigar!
