Independencia 1898 Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 06 November, 2016 by Matt

The wrapper was faultless and the stick had a solid feel and construction pre-light. The first 2 thirds were surprisingly sweet and nutty with the final third becoming slightly bitter. Superb white ash and perfect burn led to around 35-40 minutes of good value for money non Cuban experience. I think I do prefer the Cuban cigars but I would recommend this as a really decent smoke on a budget.

I tried a box of these based on the very positive reviews here,and was NOT disappointed.Smooth,nice draw,good flavours,clean tasting,but nutty,earhy,woody,too,I thought--flavoursome,but not at all overpowering,certainly not bitter.If this is an example of Fillipino cigar manufacture,book me my ticket to Manilla now,I'm off on my holidays there!After a memorably awful Rafael Gonzalez,this is a breath of fresh air--er.smoke--oh,you know what I mean!

A phenomenal little stick, lasting a good 50 minutes. Great construction with a razor sharp burn and lots of thick smoke. Stayed cool right to the nib with a lovely spicey woody flavour throughout lasting on the palette until the next draw. Thoroughly enjoyed with a strong coffe this for me is an ideal early afternoon smoke. Highly recommend for the price point!

Nice quality, even burn and thick smoke. Starts with a bang of strong spice, but still pretty smooth with a pleasing woody aroma and the light menthol tone that I adore in a good cigar. I do prefer cigars that are less peppery on the palate however, but if you like that you will love these.

Butter smooth, with lots of smoke. Don't let the price fool you, this is a quality cigar. Nice woody tones. Lasted a good 50 minutes, but I smoke slowly.

Had another one of these on holiday last week in Spain. Kept it in a bag with a 69% humidity pouch and it smoked beautifully. Took my time with and it stayed lit, cool easy smoke, no bitterness, full of nutty savoury flavours
