Independencia 1898 Petit Corona - Box of 20

I bought a few of these as really enjoy their Robusto (once aged a year or more) and for the price a pleasant surprise , perfect for those days when it isn't pouring with rain and I can take a relaxing walk ,lasts a good 20 mins which is perfect for timing my walk with my oldest dog , will definitely be buying more

Im sorry, but NO. Ive been working my way through the least expensive cigars on offer, in the size and gauge I like, for a daily smoke or three, (mixed with the more pricey for the better days when I have more time to enjoy them), so I could build up my humidor, but this is not one of them. Though, I might just have gotten a bad one, so Ill travel with care here, I could be wrong. The flavour was quite nice but way too tight, to the point of where when I tried the last third Id totally given up. By then my mouth was strained and hot, I would have given up sooner if I hadnt already decided I would be doing a review. Draw tightness aside, it had a quite reasonable flavour, but while I couldnt find a plug spot it was just too damned tight all the way through. Maybe a while in the humidor; maybe? Advice from others would be great here. I wont try one again until I worked through the range, theres a lot more to sample. Tomorrow I have the time so its a Hiram and Solomon, I just received a 3 sampler from CGars so the world is my...cigar/oyster? I would not say dont try one, I could have been unlucky, with a good draw it may be lovely, the dry draw gave no hint of trouble, strange? But this one is a non repeater, sorry Independencia but not for me. Ill give it a 2 for flavour and wrapper look and no obvious flaws on the outside but in the smoking it fails terribly.

A very nice smoke An even burn and ash held on well Mild to medium taste in my opinion Defo worth a try Buy Buy Buy
