Let me first start off by welcoming Corona Cigar Co. as our newest sponsor. Jeff, the owner of Corona Cigar Company, sent me a “little care package” the other week and man was I blow away by his generosity. In the up coming weeks and months you will begin to see some exclusive cigars provided by Corona Cigar Co., some you may have heard of and some you may not have heard of. Either way it should be fun and exciting times here at Fire Up That Cigar and I invite you to come along for the ride. Also, please be sure to support our sponsors and buy from them, they are what keep the reviews coming. Enough babbling, lets get to the reivew!
Initial Thoughts: This cigar is an exclusive cigar to Corona Cigar Company. On their website they state that this is one of their most popular, sought after cigars. It goes on to say that cigar connoisseurs from around the world travel to their location to buy this exclusive cigar. This is a nicely constructed cigar with no visible defects. The band is a little boring but who cares, let’s just hope they spend more money to make the blend taste good rather than making the band look good.
Flavors: This cigar starts off smooth and creamy with a nice sweet mix of espresso, mocha and wood. The cigar remains generally the same throughout but in the final third of the cigar the flavors pick up a bit and a slight pepper component is added.
Smoking Characteristics: Perfect draw, good burn, nice solid ash; the one minor complaint I have is that this cigar seems to smoke a little faster than what I expected. The body is medium to full.
Final Thoughts: This is a very nice cigar. The flavors were so smooth and creamy which was very enjoyable and made this cigar kind of unique. For the price I think there could be a bit more complexity to the cigar but I would have no hesitations picking up a five pack to have for special occasions.
Worth a Try: Yes
Buy Again: Yes
Enjoyablity: High

Nice review Adam……
I just remembered the one you gave me, and how well it smoked and now I’m disappointed that they aren’t as cheap as I thoguht they were…
Thanks for the opportunity to smoke one!
Yea they aren’t cheap, but sometimes it’s worth the price. How have you been? Are you coming home for summer?
I really find it hard to take a review seriously when the reviewer is reviewing house brands of a sponsor.
Is there not a little conflict of interest here?
