Tight draw on crown v cut, kept having to touch this up. However, very pleasant smooth creamy smoke. Definitely recommend.

This has to be one of my favourite go to smokes, strong and smooth without being overly aromatic. It has a lovely kick when you feel like one.

Bolivar Petit Coronas Cigar - 1 Single
by Benjamin
Nice with a cup of coffee but I wouldn?t recommend it to a friend.

A compact but satisfying smoke, this small cigar delivers a robust, full-bodied profile with pronounced notes of leather, rich Italian espresso, and cedar wood. Initial flavors carry a subtle undertone of chili spice, adding a gentle acidity that enlivens the palate without overpowering. As the cigar progresses, it mellows into rounded, earthy woodland notes, balancing intensity with a refined complexity. The narrow ring gauge results in a slightly warm burn, but construction is commendable, with an ash chimney that holds firm well past the halfway mark. An enjoyable post-lunch cigar, offering an impressive depth for its size. Rating: 6/10. Smoke time: 40 minutes

Bought the sampler with the crow, unkind, cuco and jackdaw. this is the 3rd one of the sampler I've tried. Honestly I found this one a little bland to my taste and untrained palate. I got some citrus and biscuit flavours but they were not very strong. It stayed like that through the whole cigar. I did have some cracking on the cigar itself and the wrapper felt pretty dry, so possibly my storage of it wasn't sufficient to maintain the flavours. So far unkind is my favourite. Only the jackdaw left to try!

Appearance and Construction:
This cigar displays excellent construction, with a firm feel in the hand and no noticeable soft spots. The pre-light draw is easy, offering a preview of what?s to come. Upon lighting, it reveals its quality craftsmanship with a slow, consistent burn, forming a tight ash chimney. Though there was some unevenness in the burn, this did not significantly detract from the smoking experience.
Aroma and First Impressions:
On the nose, there?s a distinct sweetness dominated by warm, aromatic spices, notably allspice and clove. These notes immediately set the tone for a flavourful experience. Upon lighting, the initial smoke is mild yet aromatic, carrying the scent of applewood that complements the subtle spiciness.
Flavour Profile:
The first draws reveal a sweet, creamy vanilla flavor that coats the palate with smoothness, yet remains refined and well-balanced. The applewood smoke adds a light, natural sweetness that intertwines with the vanilla, giving the flavour profile a gentle depth. The smoke itself is notably silky and luxurious, gliding effortles
