Antonio Gimenez Shorty Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Not for me, putting it kindly. Construction was actually alright on mine, as was the burn. The flavour wasn't particularly pleasant, however. At best, it's not massively offensive, but even at this price, or even at just slightly more, you can find better.

Terrible. Really poor smoking cigar, far to tightly packed and hard to draw. Not a nice flavour. Given the bad reviews I thought I would make my own decision. I think a deservedly low overall review score. Not for me, definitely wont be purchasing again.

The presentation is okay, however the draw is extremely tight, makes the cigar impossible to smoke. Taste is very much below average and the cigar goes off within 30sec. Extremely bad cigar and an absolute waste of money.

Don’t really know what to say about this one. I received it as part of the short and quick smokes sampler, and also bought the bigger chubby version on top. I’ve only smoked the little one so far and honestly it was rubbish. From the start, it tunnelled badly, but then evened out. The flavour was mediocre at best, disappointing all the way through. Only toward the final third did any pepper or spice come through, and even that was shot lived. About three or four puffs before it soured again and got too hot to smoke. I haven’t smoked the big brother to this yet, but judging by this ones performance, I’m not holding out much hope!

This came to me as part of the Short and Quick Smokes Sampler. Its a neat little number, good firm construction and plastic wrapped. Not overly dry so smoked directly out of the wrapper. Started sweet and strong, plenty of body and tart tannin and burnt caramel making it a mild/strong but smooth flavour. It may be small but not necessarily a particularly short smoke for a 3 1/2 mini cigar. I easily obtained 30m from it and a strong stable ash stack. This is a small but mighty smoke, not to be rushed but relaxed into and savoured for all the lush vibrant flavour. Room note is sweet and mild and not in any way invasive. Downsides? Yes, left me wanting it to be much longer to have a decent amount of time to enjoy all it had to offer so a 4. VFM is definitely a 5 out of 5.
