I highly recommend the Por Larranaga Petit Corona to the reviewer below it is mild to medium strength with a lovely sweet caramel and citrus taste and last 45 mins to an hour and has a nice gold band, been there and smoked the cigar you had Thought it would be an upgrade from the machine made Guantanamera Cristales of a similar price I smoke and still enjoy,I agree with you they are tasteless then tried the Por PC they are lovely so bought a cab and have never looked back, Por Larranaga is the oldest Cuban cigar makers still in existence est 1834 and highly respected by all cigar aficionado's

It has a smooth and very light taste which is also a bit sweet, but gets somewhat spicy after the half. However, the flavour is just too plain for me. Draw is fairly tight, but you can work with it. Mine lasted about 30 mins. Overall, you get what you pay for, but it is a good everyday smoke for a good price.

The 4 things you need to start you off on the right track in smoking cigars. (1) a good cigar, I would highly recommend the Por Larranaga Petit Corona, it is mild to medium with a lovely creamy taste and lasts about an hour (2) A good cigar cutter, the Xikar Xi series cutters are the best you can buy with twin self sharpening blades to provide a good clean cut every time, (3) A Natural flame to gently toast not roast your cigar foot then light, the Xikar Exodus natural flame wind resistant butane lighter is ideal and fabulous quality even comes with a polishing cloth to keep the lighter looking great, (4) A good humidor, I highly recommend the Adorini Deluxe range, the build quality of these himi's are superb, cedar lined which is slotted to both walls and base to provide better air circulation, the Adorini Deluxe humidifier uses state of the art acryl polymer fleece which reacts faster to climatic changes in the humidor and it has adjustable vents to reduce or increase humidity, and the Adorini Deluxe hair hygrometer is an highly accurate analog humidity measurer.

This is a lovely mild to medium cigar for the beginner new to smoking cigars, A bit of advice from a person who is still learning, Please light your cigars as gently as possible using a natural flame I highly recommend the Xikar Exodus natural flame butane lighter to toast not roast your cigars, alot of cigar smokers who have probably being smoking for years on youtube videos recommend a torch flame lighter but you really have to know what you are doing not to cremate the foot, I only use my Prometheus torch flame lighter to correct serious uneven burning issues now (Yes i bought one on the recommendations to) put the torch flame at 90dg to the ash and away from the wrapper then rotating the cigar gradually move the flame towards the uneven unburnt wrapper, as soon as the burn is even remove the flame being very careful not to burn the wrapper. so to sum up, be gentle, light gently, draw gently and respect your cigar.
