Antonio Gimenez Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by Philippos
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Managed to get a good hour smoke from this stick. Burned very well and evenly throughout. Good sturdy cigar.

Although I do enjoy smoking Cuban cigars more so than new world cigars, this one is definitely a great exception. The flavours are beautiful and the complexity is definitely there. Its not the largest cigar from Oliva but for one reason or another, this cigar seems to almost always last me a pretty good amount of time to smoke. TI thoroughly enjoy this smoke and highly recommend it.

As always, excellent service was provided over the counter. I asked for something Nicaraguan and full bodied; this cigar more than delivered! Flawless construction with a tight cap, almost invisible seem and a beautiful Bournville-esque wrapper. Pre-light draw gave cedar and Woody spices. These notes defined the first inch and were a pleasant introduction. The next three inches: wow! Cedar, spice, plum pudding, dark chocolate and a pleasant acidity to cut through the richer and sweeter notes. Pepper grew as it approached the end, but it remained rich and satisfying, even as the smoke got too hot to handle. Will definitely be looking to purchase a few more of these and try the other vitolas in Serie V.

Can’t really add much more than what’s already been written. Added to favourites & will be buying more.

CGars know how to look after cigars and dispatched to me two of these fine cigars. I have smoked them in the past while in Italy, and they were hard and dry, unlike those in this review. The cigars were firm without being hard and felt nice and supple. A good omen. A decent cigar needs a good partner; I drank a mug of Peruvian arabica blend coffee, No 4 strength with a chocolatey flavour - nice and strong. You get that ice cream moment with every draw of this smooth, cool burning cigar, which I like to cut in half and smoke. It lasts about 15 to 20 minutes that way. I can tell you that the cigar makes the coffee taste nice and smooth and the coffee works so well with the smoke - the flavour sits nicely on the tongue. A cracking duo, a super smoke and a nice relaxing 20 odd minutes.

Sancho Panza Belicosos Cigar - 1 Single
by Andreas
Leathery texture and good draw, reach and creamy smoke, firm ash that holds up to 1 inch easily; mind that requirement to re-ignite is not such a bad thing, I take it well over 60 minutes at times and enjoy it with whiskey or wine on a quiet evening in the porch. Can have bittersweet notes and hint of vanila and spices, one of my favorites, especially for the medium complexity and great taste in your mouth at the end.
