Montecristo RED Corona
For a man that never smokes NCs, I sure have had a bunch in 2011. I smoked this today and was shaken and
shocked. They were ordered for troop support and for the "free stuff". Even if the "stuff" ain't "free" by a long shot, I don't get too worked up, as long as there are troops in conflict. But I never thought I would like these cigars. Not only did I like them, they tasted downright Cuban. There was a rich, creamy character from the connecticut wrapper, and a full dose of twang, accompanied by a fruity taste not unlike a good Bolivar BF. The cigar burned agonizingly slow, but the draw was perfect. I would rank the cigar, in terms of copycat flavors, between a mild and non-peppery PSD4 and a Juan Lopez No.2. As I write this, you can still get the deal I got on these cigars at JR, although again, deal is a funny word, they are not cheap cigars. However they may be priced right for you, who knows. All I know is that they do not suck. And you get some "free stuff". |

Re: Montecristo RED Corona
I think this is funny, I went to read the specs on the cigar and found that the way they are selling it is actually
a lot like the review I laid down at my blog. That is not just funny, but it makes me feel pretty good about the way they sell the cigars. Duh, of course it is a select blend of aged long filler tobaccos, blablablablabla. But it WAS slow burning, it WAS mouth-watering, and it was 'special' over and above the regular drek they peddle over at that factory... these beauties are flawlessly constructed with a perfectly aged blend of long filler tobaccos, a smooth binder, and an attractive medium-brown Connecticut wrapper creating a slow burning, mouth-watering smoke bursting with complex flavors and a pleasing aroma. |
