Juliany Blue Label Coronita Cigar - 1 Single
by Jonathan
It lights well it did burn uneven. Not drastically but towards the nub it was a bit of an issue. I had a good stack of ash up too halfway. Very peppery easy draw. Not as sweet as expected but quite smooth mid stick. Mellows off with the pepper notes and moves into a sweeter ending. The draw is very easy as the cigar is not at all tightly wrapped. Lasted thirty five minutes. I would say it’s more of a strong smoke than a medium.
It did last longer than expected. The draw got hot early on as the tobacco is not tight. It was very hot at the end. It didn’t detriment the taste. The smoke was very thick and white. The band came off very early on, as its a short stick with a large band. Overall good for the price. I am by no means an aficionado.

Wow! I think this has got to be one of the best cigars Ive ever had. Smooth, earthy and slightly spicy with a razor sharp burn and easy draw, this is not one to be missed. Its a bit of a smoke bomb too, best smoked outside with its massive clouds of beautiful smoke. A real treat in these difficult times.

When its good its very good but when its bad its awful. The construction is too variable. Out of ten cigars five were a really satisfying smoke, two were poorly packed (imploding as they were smoked) and three just had to be discarded; which is a real shame.

The most unevenly burning cigar Ive ever had. From start to finish it was burning down one side requiring constant major touch ups almost every draw. On the rare draws it did burn evenly there was some nice flavour, mild but pleasant with hints of dark chocolate.
Really wanted to like this one and I think if the burn had been remotely even I would have. But alas it ruined the experience and half of my Friday night smoke.
Might just have been a bad example of it, but other Inka cigars Ive tried have had issues as well.... Except the Red Bombaso Maduro, that was awesone!
1.7/5 :(

A little gem.
When drinking wine, I regard them as either full blown reds, or quaffing wines...wines that are hugely enjoyable, but do not cost the earth.
To my mind this cigar is in the quaffing category, delivers on every level, an even burn, easy draw and a mixture of smooth flavours that keep on giving, right to the end...and all of this at a fantastic price.
Will ensure there are always some in my humidor.

Theres something quite nice about relaxing in the evening and finding something to do which comes naturally and comfortably.
You can walk through the door after a tough day at work in to the warmth of your living room, settle back in to your armchair and locate the switch on the lamp.
Slowly your feet rise up and rest on the footstall as you adjust yourself further in to a position ready to see whats around you. It may be your chosen book of the week, a copy of the Spectator maybe... Or simply that days newspaper.
The dog is running around and the children are loud and in this time, they are not annoying. Nothing is. The only thing between you and the current world is that reading material and what lays in your clean ashtray - already cut and sitting almost as if in a life of its own, patiently.
You look at the band and possibly think of how happy J.F.K was to order his cigars of the same company. Out comes the lighter or Cedar matches (you decide... No hurry). First burn... Second burn... Light! The plumes of cool smoke surround your face. Some have suggested tastes of
