(.jpg "Henri Wintermans Half Corona - Pack of 5 Cigars")
Date Added: Wednesday 21 September, 2022
I had a Henry Wintermans given by someone at an event and quite enjoyed it...I guess it was all due to the setting.
Then I have decided to buy a pack to enjoy a quick smoke at home. It was the biggest waste of money since I am buying cigars.
Everything about it screams cost cutting, if feels like a pack of Walkers, mostly filled with air, it felt light and soft in hand, crushing between fingers with no effort in the second half, it burned fast, it smelled bad and the taste...oh, the taste was horrendous...a bitter unpleasant smoke with an even worse finishing. The aftertaste was a lingering unpleasant linear bitter taste with no depth whatsoever. It was by far the worst smoke Ive ever had.
The Montecristo puritos are priced similarly and believe it or not they smoke as long as the half coronas of Wintermans.

First time today on this one, nice and easy smoke. As the name suggests an ‘Entered Apprentice’ smoke. On the light side of medium, nice long ash, as mentioned easy smoke for about 40 mins. Peppery notes predominantly but not overpowering, hints of toffee and caramel. Good quality easy everyday smoke, would buy it again.

Sitting here enjoying this 50 with a nice glass of Casa Dragones Joven Tequila, they go very well together.
This starts of very mild with subtle tones but is building to a solid medium.
The draw is a little tight for my liking but the burn is great. Thoroughly enjoying the whole experience and match with the Tequila and will definitely be ordering some more to mature in the box. Hopefully the next is not so tight as the smoke is just delightful. Infact lets do that right now.
Try them out people they are very moreish.
Enjoy.

Loved it, very light smoke. Creamy and nutty flavours in the first and second third and transitioned to a slight spicy, peppery flavour in the final third. The only reason it isnt a 5 star is bevause I had to relight a few times, had a bit of tunnelling and a bit of an uneven burn. This could be user error as I am new to this.

Loved the taste, very light and easy smoke but the construction was very disappointing, wrapper unravelled from shoulder to foot and ash looked shapeless near the end. It was my first HDM and I will try this short robusto again just to see if I would consider a box of it. Next in line to try is epicure especial. Wanted to knock only 1 star out for the wrapper issue but that wouldnt justify it.
