Leon Jimenes Petit Corona Blond (Vanilla) Cigar - Box of 10

Date Added: Monday 09 May, 2016 by Robert

An Interesting Cigar, unique in being handmade and Flavoured. A small cigar but it would be a mistake to think this cigar a short everyday smoke, I took a good 45 minutes as I had been advised this would really let the flavours of the cigar express themselves.

It is sound advice, this cigar has a very strong coffee taste on the inhale that is then muted by a wonderful subtle vanilla sweetness on the exhale that coats your lips (not in a chemical way). It is best described as a Vanilla latte really nice smoke.

That being said if this cigar was rushed then that coffee earthy taste would overpower and become very harsh spoiling what is a very nice cigar that is also on the stronger side of a medium tasting cigar which was also a surprise.

As you get to the second half (not big enough for thirds) the earthy coffee inhale develops a very subtle peppery kick changing the taste to a spiced vanilla latte again a very nice surprise given that most flavoured cigars tend to be nasty, I do wonder if this cigar is infused rather than flavoured as that would account for the much better taste.

Certainly a Cigar that smells slightly aromatic and overall a very nice surprise for a small cigar it packs quit a bit of flavour but again it really needs the time if you rushed this it would be harsh. Will certainly have again which is good seeing as I bought a box of 10
