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.

Fabulous Small Cigars, great for winter in the UK when its too cold to sit outside for any length of time. Medium to Full flavours, around 20/30 minutes of real pleasure! Im about to stock up and buy another 5 boxes!

I had this cigar at 10am with my morning coffee and I was very pleasantly surprised. My ash dropped off just as I was finishing up my smoke, lovely bright ash. Im quite new to cigars so Im still in the early stages, however I would certainly recommend. For me it was an earthy taste and it wasnt over powering. I use a punch and the draw was excellent.
