This little beauty sat in my humidor for three months and when I gave her a cut and a toast I was very pleasantly surprised at how much flavour and taste this well priced Connecticut had to offer. A perfect draw from the offset and a balanced light throughout. 1st third was spicy and mellow dancing on the lips and the tongue with a subtle salty retro hale that tickled with a youthful charm. 2nd third mellowed out to a very pleasant soft and creamy middle reminiscent of a coffee creme chocolate. The final third returns you to a spicy finale which once again brings your taste receptors dancing back. Give yourself a well deserved half and hour to slowly savour this delightful Connecticut.

A quality smoke, good burn, draw and ash, producing a creamy smoke with lashings of the usual sweet cedar flavours.

I’m fairly new to cigars so take this with a pinch of salt. Very difficult to smoke compared to other cigars. Burn was not great at all. I also found it quite rough and far more like smoking 5 cigarettes. Wouldn’t get again.

When it comes down to it, it’s the skill of the roller that really counts. The cigars in factory are graded for hue and shade and presented to the sorter. We all want consistency of colour when we buy a box of 25 or 50, do we not ? Problem is, not all rollers have adequate training and some are somewhat lacking in skill. So, the consumer, that’s you, ends up with an inferior product.
Having smoked many cigars over the recent months, I can conclude that a lot, and I mean a lot of cigars coming out of Cuba at the moment are inferior products.
Poor construction often means a poor or inadequate draw. You might as well throw your money in a bin.
Draw, to me, is everything.
The culprits, at the moment seem to me to be Partagas, Montecristo and dare I say it, Cohiba.
I have recently been wading through my stash of Ramon Allones specially selected and have found that the consistency and construction to be flawless.
If you want a cigar that gives bang for buck, buy these.
Don’t waste your money on the overpriced and overrated alternatives.
Just finished one.

Regius Corona Cigar - 1 Single

I got this to see what the regius smokes were like as they seemed like great value but I would rather spend more on quality and smoke less than buy king Edwards! I often see posts about smoke time saying they got 30 mins on a cigar that I get an hour on and then complain about the taste being bland etc. This cigar, like most cigars, rewards patience.
If you are taking a hearty full draw and don’t leave time for the cherry to cool down, the difference is like night and day. Now I know the majority of people reading this will say ‘well, duh!’, but the reason I mention it is the smoke times on this site given by cgars is often way too low. Davidoff do it too on their materials, so on the off chance you are here to say this was disappointing, buy another and smoke it slowly. It should last an hour or more, that is when the flavours come out. If you rush it, the bitter tastes cloud the great subtle flavours. For the price, this is a phenomenal cigar. Only the fuente stick of the same size compares and that one is £2 more. This is the price of a crappy petrol station henri winterman and
