Again another great cigar from Plasencia, woth great white smoke. Not my favourite from them, but still amazing value. Does get quite spicy in the last 3rd though. Would like to try again once it's been left in the humidor for a few months and try again
I have to agree with David that this blend is a pretty good stand in for fans of the old style Cuban Partagas cigars. A slightly milder, and slimmer, replacement for the 898's which (like unicorn tears and rocking horse droppings) have now become impossible to find.
When I took this cigar out of the cello I immediately realised the strong barn yard smell. It smells strong and sweet. It smokes strong and sweet too. Some strong red pepper on the front of the palette with the 1st few puffs but this dies down. It is quite a complex cigar with favour notes changing as I smoked through this cigar. It is a very tasty cigar and lasts a long time, infact it lasted longer than any robusto vitola cigar that I've ever smoked before. I will definitely buy more of these.
Unfortunately my Petit Coronas Especiales suffered from poor construction at the cap. The wrapper came loose after cutting and by the halfway point it became unpleasant to smoke. The foot was also slightly cracked but it soon corrected itself after lighting. However the half that I did get to smoke properly was really enjoyable, so much so I'd be willing to give it another go.
Slow burning Smooth & creamy smoke, lovely taste. Draw was a little tight okay (possibly didn’t get enough cap off). Lasted 30-45 mins had to slow down as it was too moreish!
This cigar was one of the worst cigars i have ever smoked, in its price range.
It's burn was only one sided, it had poor taste, had to throw away at mid point, would not recommend this cigar.
