Regius Connecticut Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Saturday 17 October, 2026 by Jason

Regius Connecticut with my usual V cut, paired with a cup of Russian Caravan tea. This started very pleasantly with light leather and nutty flavours, although I should confess I was grazing on nuts and dried fruit at the time, so my tastebuds may have been receiving outside assistance. The first half felt particularly fresh and mild, with more pepper beginning to appear as I moved into the second half. The burn was essentially even. It wandered by perhaps a millimetre here and there but always corrected itself without intervention. It did go out around halfway and needed a relight, although I am a notoriously slow smoker and still managed to get a full hour from it. Interestingly, I had not really noticed a slight bitterness until I ate some chocolate halfway through. The sweetness transformed the experience and gave the cigar something it had been missing. I do not drink alcohol, but I could easily imagine a good sweet rum working beautifully here and bringing out some of the subtler flavours that my tea did not quite manage. It did not produce particularly long ash, but the construction otherwise felt solid and the draw was good throughout. Would I call it remarkable? Probably not. But I think that slightly misses what this cigar does well. It is light and restrained enough to act almost as a canvas for whatever you pair with it. Different teas, chocolate, dried fruit or, for those who drink, something sweeter could each pull the cigar in a different direction. For the seasoned enthusiast looking for something complex and commanding, it may not quite hit the spot. But as an easy, versatile smoke that invites a bit of experimentation, there is actually quite a lot to like.

Really nice cigar with an easy draw and only lit it once for the whole of the burn. Left it in a small humidor ( little table top 30cigar effort) for three weeks and this may have helped as I didn’t have the problem of other reviewers had in that I gave it a full cut rather than a v cut and removed bands with no flakes or unwrapping. Will order again and keep bands on as I realise now this may have improved the flavour, I found it mellow and pleasant but not a robust taste so should be good for us new to cigars.

The flavour of this cigar is decent for the price, but the construction is awful. The first one was cracking on the wrapper as the tobacco expanded while I was smoking it, and the wrapper cracked again when I (carefully) removed the bands. I was kindly sent a replacement, but as soon as I cut the cap off, the shoulder peeled off with zero effort. A decent budget cigar, but I wouldn’t buy it again.

I am just getting back into cigars after many years away. This cigar gave me the perfect balance between usability and a most pleasant smoke. It lit well, had an easy draw, a wonderful aroma and taste. No idea how long it took to smoke because I was lost in the moment. Smoked the same all the way down. I'm too new to cigars to perhaps appreciate or notice the subtle change in flavours as it develops. However, my experience was one of joy. Now, a note on usability. This could well have been user error: I made a simple V cut and the end seemed loose. Indeed, in removing a stray flake of wrapper the whole thing unravelled and fell off. I don't know if the cigar was too dry or I'm simply an incompetent fool. Likely the latter. Having said that the cigar structure stayed firm. I opened up the draw end to a full cut. Maybe I missed out on the flavour the wrapper would've brought. And maybe the smoke would've lasted long, although it was long enough. Even so, my experience was not marred and I only want to further my journey. Cigar smoking is more than just smoking; you need to be involved in the process; it's a learning experience and a true respite from the stresses of life. Despite what I'll put down to my incompetence, I would definitely buy this cigar again - with a new double bladed cutter!

This was my first ever cigar, so i don't have anything to compare it to but it smoked good, not too strong to start with, it might have been a little long for the first time i didn't smoke past the ribbon but it could have been me. It was a pleasant time.

First off must say I was impressed with the look, feel and overall construction of this stick. Gave it a v-cut and tried the old cold draw, still can?t tease out flavour notes but it was quite pleasant, lol. The draw was easy throughout and the burn was razor sharp. Didn?t have a problem removing both bands and smoked right down to the nub, which is rare for me. Paired it with the Balvenie Caribbean Cask which went well. Definitely will be adding these to my collection.
