4 stars. Great little cigar for the time I had. Lovely notes throughout. Only down side is it was quite hard to draw at times. But really enjoyed it. I’d happily buy a box but going to try the No’s 4 first as this media is only the 2nd cigar I’ve ever had. Would buy again though.

A wonderful little cigar to relax and contemplate with, perfect to while away the complexities of life for 30 minutes or so. A creamy taste with sweet notes and a fair bit of aromatic smoke. Highly recommended.

Having previously had an unpleasant experience with a couple of Media Corona’s (impossible draw, uneven burn) before, I tried one again the night before last as it had arrived as the mystery cigar as part of the C.gars monthly subscription. This time, I’m happy to report, there was a much improved outcome. The 44 x 90mm vitola is the smallest of the Cuban Montecristo family but certainly looks the part - it normally comes presented in a unique sliding tin of 5. This one proved to be an easy 30 minutes, delivering plentiful smoke output and a very pleasant aroma. Strength was upper medium. Used a simple punch cut which was ideal for the RG and it was easy enough to fire up. I did however find the overall taste not particularly complex and in my view the cigar came across as a little undemanding but still enjoyable smoke. Probably not too surprising given the relatively short size. That said, I did detect a definite caramel sweetness lingering in the background which was rather pleasant. This example has had a month or two in the humi at 69• which I think helped and it burned well, offering a reasonable but still not perfect draw. Overall the Media Corona was certainly enjoyable, but probably not quite good enough to become a personal favourite.

After a pretty naff day I decided to try a little Monte to chill out, I aged this stick around 2 months too. First off quite a bitter taste almost unpleasant, then settles into a rich creamy leather and quite spicy little stick. Medium strength and would buy again.
