Chinchalero Torcidos Petit Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 22 January, 2017 by Ian

A pretty looking cigar and great construction tightly packed. Pre-light is a little tight which continues all the way through not opening up at all. Not sure if this due to how it is constructed to give it the 'barber pole' effect, not relaxing as it heats up. Definitely a cigar of thirds. First third not more significant than tobacco flavour but into second half of the second third a strong chocolate flavour and a creamy mouth feel comes through transitioning into a clove like flavour. If you have tried a Drew Estate Acid Kuba Kuba then reminiscent of this but rather a real clove spice flavour which lasts, though mellows. The burn is excellent in spite of the work needed due to the draw, which can sometimes contribute to uneven burn, but not here. The cigar only rested in the humidor for a week so maybe with a little more time it would open up more. A medium bodied smoke which I'll certainly be purchasing some more of.
