Jose L Piedra Petit Cetros Cigar - 1 Single
by matthew
The Cetros tastes like a cigar should ,strong & earthy.Nicotine kick is mild, it wont give you a headache.The best of it is it will last all day as it is tight rolled & keeps going out, but this leaves you with a flavoursome chew before relighting.

I am really sad to say me and this particular vitola haven't really had a great relationship. After giving it 3 attempts I had to declare this one a 'one-to-forget' cigar. I have a lot of respect for Partagas and have given a few other vitolas the time of day to re-instate a love for one of the most recognisable brands. (SerieD5 Limited Ed & Serie PNo.2 have both been FANTASTIC!).
I'd definitely need some convincing about these. The tastes were too earthy, too harsh and a bit too bitter for me, in all 3 sticks. I've seen really great reviews of these cigars. This goes to show the true beauty of the cigar community, I love how everyones pallet takes to different notes and flavours and truly respect this highly popular cigar.
Thanks for reading,

I'm a relative novice smoker , I've smoked for a while but am just now at the stage where I'm buying and storing cigars as well as smoking them as opposed to just "buy-smoke-repeat". What to say about the Punch Coronations? Visually this isn't an enormous cigar but it's certainly perfectly formed. While not having experienced a full range of different draws yet, I found this a very easy cigar to smoke. On lighting, the thick, white smoke billowed and almost filled the room on the first draw, the burn was even from end to end and the cigar didn't need relighting or any mid-smoke maintenance. The flavour started off quite mild, with almost a taste of how leather smells (if that makes sense), earthy and satisfying without being overpowering. Within about the first 1/3 of the cigar the flavour developed and I could pick up coffee notes with a not-too-spicy element which caught my palette with a bit of the sensation you'd experience after eating a lot of chocolate, dry yet somehow moist at the same time, but again - not unpleasant. All in all, I think this is a superb cigar for the money

Rich oily wrapper, beautiful unfinished style, perfect burn, plentiful smoke and delicious flavours throughout. Did burn a little hot towards the end but probably due to my over eagerness to keep tasting the sweet chocolate and spice. Maduro wrapper for this price, no brainer, will be buying more.

H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Can't be faulted on flavour, this was delicious and smoked right down to the nub. However the burn was uneven and this doesn't feel like great value given it's size.

A lovely mild and smooth smoke, i had it with a glass of hoebeg (over ice i may add - shoot me down!).
As others have commented its a 30/40 minute smoke, which i enjoyed so much i'll be buying a few more!
