Brick House Double Connecticut Corona Larga Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Saturday 08 July, 2023 by Baer

This is a very good quality and very good value cigar. It is a smooth and balanced cigar that lacks the last bit of complexity. I am afraid that I am mostly using my review as a rant around the notion that “beginners” need a light cigar and then more sophisticated, more experienced smokers want something bigger, richer, stronger bla bla bla. This is utterly ludicrous. Implicit in this is the notion that some big greasy dark cigar is more “advanced” or sophisticated or grown up than a Quai d’Orsay. Or by an analogy to wine, if you like a delicate Grand Cru Burgundy you are less advanced or sophisticated than someone who likes a Barossa Valley Shiraz. Rant over.

Quite a good smoke, just not to my preference. I found it a bit too mild for my taste, however it had excellent draw and I still enjoyed it thoroughly for just over an hour. For me I tasted a very slight spice and a small note of acidity, almost like raisin or cherry or maybe even a coffee flavour. I havenÂ’t got the most advanced palate, but I liked the flavour, just a little weak for me. Very smooth retrohale and no harshness at all. IÂ’d recommend it for a beginner smoker, but for people looking for a more bold cigar, IÂ’d consider the non-Connecticut version of this cigar, which is more flavourful and less spicy. Never went out while I was smoking and had a very even nice burn.

In my top 3 sticks. Didn’t burn great to start with (user error). Full of flavour from start to finish. Creamy, spicy and fruity. The draw was the best I’ve experienced. A must have in a humidor.

Tried this today for an afternoon smoke and very much enjoyed. A smooth smoke experience an even burn from start off to finishing. Noted hints of a peppery, cedar/wood like taste early stage, followed with a hint of coffee near the end. Im still very much an amateur in the cigar world but enjoyed this one. This is one for my wish list and shall be ordering a few of these on my next order, just wish Id ordered 2 first time round!

What a great smoke. An hour of pure pleasure. The draw was good, although the start was a bit tight. I got great hits of cedar and pepper throughout with touches of coffee and caramel. Nice and sweet cigar, which I paid with a glass of Pedro Ximenez sherry. Was a good hour of bliss. Cant go wrong for the price.

Looks good, appears well constructed and it burned evenly. First 1/3 was pleasant with a slight spice/peppery flavour, second 1/3 became a bit bland and hard work. Also, it got a bit stodgy with a difficult draw (a hole punch was used to cut). However, when re-cut the flavour seemed to return with a nice sweet taste and the cigar itself was much easier to smoke as a result. It produced lots of smoke throughout and overall the cigar lasted nearly an hour and a half. Not bad though, hence 3 out of 5.
