Dominican Unbranded Premium Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Very interesting smoke, decided to use this cigar to bridge into the world of proper (heavier ring gauge) cigars from smoking cigarellos. Bought and kept in humidor for a couple of weeks. Held ash very well and construction is very good with equally smooth draw with no tightness. I do commend the craftsmanship for such an inexpensive cigar. The ring gauge gives a much more overall balance to this short vitola. Mouthfeel of smoke throughout describe as velvety and paired beautifully with an iced coffee. Retrohalation is where the real flavours come out in any cigar and I picked up hint of floral notes (in the final 1/2) with main notes being earthy and peppery. It doesn't like to be smoked quickly but it can be smoked in much less time than stated on the product listing. The price is reflective in that I think the wrapper used is not much different to the internals in terms of how it has been processed but at this price point it is a good cigar to have for entry into the world of cigars and to practice the nuances (how much to draw, retrohaling etc) at low cost. Not bad.

Just smoked my first one, completely agree with, previous reviewer, great loads of smoke, good flavours, and a bargain in these expensive times, could do with a robusto under £10.00 in the same brand...fingers crossed.

I purchased these cigars just to try them out. Whenever I see a product with few reviews, I think it's worth taking a chance. A few days ago, I bought four of them. Since half coronas are my favorite format, I felt it was a steal. I’ve never been particularly brand-focused, so the lack of a brand name didn’t bother me at all. The burn was even throughout; I didn’t have to relight them or deal with any issues like canoeing along the side. They weren’t plugged at all, offering a consistent burn with just a hint of pepper at the end as they warmed up. The cigars are light and refreshing, making them well worth a try! If you're on a budget and looking for a good half-corona, this one is excellent. I can see myself buying 10 to 20 of them to stock in my humidor.
