Charatan Original Corona Cigar - 1 Single by James

Smoke time: 50 minutes *Initial Draw:** Mild, aromatic, with cedar and black pepper notes. The draw is open, necessitating short, frequent puffs. - **Construction:** Decent, with the ash staying intact through the first third. - **First Third:** Pleasant but lacking complexity. - **Second Third:** Develops a noticeable acidity and acridity that detracts from the flavor. - **Final Third:** The flavors continue to deteriorate, becoming bland and losing complexity. While there is some improvement toward the end, it remains underwhelming. The cigar has some positive aspects, such as decent construction and a pleasant aroma on the initial draw. However, it also has notable downsides, particularly as it progresses into the second and final thirds. Overall, it seems like the cigar started with some promise but ultimately disappointed as it progressed.

Chinchalero Novillo Torpedo Cigar - 1 Single by Peter

I selected this one to enjoy on an afternoon in the late August sun. It was bought to try out the large diameter as I usually smoke narrower cigars. It took 45 minutes as stated and there was zero bitterness for me. The smoke was mild but pleasant and there were no real discernable flavours to it. It did however burn unevenly, persistently on one side. When the ash dropped off I could see an area of filler that was much less dense causing the problem.

Drew Estate Factory Smokes CT Shade Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by Richard

Good construction and draw with plenty of smoke. Smoked at a rain sodden BBQ, and unfortunately, they didn't make it any better. Taste was bland and uni-dimensional, with a bitter back edge. Smoked 2 and have to credit the consistency. Sorry, hate leaving bad/down-beat reviews...

Inka Secret Blend Red Petit Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Mark

Excellent stick with tasty flavours. Burns smoothly and slowly. Unquestionably a nice one among the cheaper stogies.

CLE Asylum 13 Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by Sam

Now I must say this is not for my palate as I typically prefer lighter, creamier, more nutty cigars. However I cannot deny this is an impressive premium cigar. I was delighted by this as It was the first maduro I have smoked. It has an excellent draw, slightly uneven burn but this was probably my error. Strong notes of hot pepper, espresso and dark chocolate make for an intense and delicious smoke. This pairs greatly with a fruity rioja red wine or a warm sweet bourbon.
